   THE SERJEANT- AT - ARMS to All   
   Aspects of Leftism V: I'm sorry, but it

   I saw a former stalwart lefty of this newsgroup over at Alan 'Airbrush'   
   Allport's Horizon blog, preaching a dour/happy/squishy-inside sermon about   
   how Orwell loved socialism and the fact that it is manifestly obvious that   
   he would have loathed a great deal that Project Marx (caff, decaff and   
   mocchino varities) has done in the last 56 years is neither here nor there:   
   his principal works are loving rebukes to a movement that he was most   
   uxoriously wrapped up and anyone who doesn't think so is a Blue Meany. Then   
   I looked at the Lynnette Burrows case, detailed below in a Spectator peice,   
   and I laughed sardonically about what our former stalwart was saying. Orwell   
   would quite easily have extrapolated from this incident what has happened in   
   England: a slow motion coup de 'tat by the Pansy Left and if he would have   
   been up for *that*, then I'm a fucking kraut.
