   Well, aren't terrorists an approved minority group in the UK, yet?  The   
   UK "needs to die", to use the current expression of progressive   
   sophisticates, and wouldn't Orwell approve, anyway?  Wouldn't Orwell   
   want the UK rubbed off the map if he were alive today?  It's true he was   
   pro-England in his day but that was in his day; he was progressive in   
   his day; if he was alive and progressive today, he would want England   
   destroyed, it's a trendy way of current of political feeling.
