Archived from groups: alt>books>george-orwell (more info?)

....today for the first time since about 1990. Dreary stuff as it ever was -
Chairman Ken (like Tony Benn (the 2nd Viscount Stansgate) a fan of the
greatest mass murderer in history, Chairman Mao) has a column, detailing,
with all the speciousness of the boss class he hates but now sucks up to,
his triumphs (and airbrushing the misery caused by those policies).

As I Please is still there, written by one Joan Smith, who looks as if she
may well be the sort of sexual sectarian and crypto-misandrist favoured by
own Chairman Martha. Sad.
