Orwell was right, but his timetable was off just a bit. The Thought Police are alive and well, it seems, if you can be arrested for not sitting with whomever you like.
You can only hope that something will break the trend of PC-ness run amok, or there simply won't be an England any more. I'm right in the middle of Melanie Philips's book "Londonistan", and the picture she paints ain't pretty, as they say.
We have enough PC foolishness here in the U.S., but at hasn't risen to the same level as what you guys have in Europe...yet. It will, though; of that, I have little doubt. It's already on its way, and it's only going to get worse as we see the products of the Liberal Re-education camps (what pass for colleges/universities these days) take over from us old dinosaurs.
