Excellent article. I was infuriated to read that Roald Dahl's books are being changed by these lunatics. What gives them the right to alter his words? I grew up with these stories and read them to my children. How glad am I that I kept the original books.
This comes as no surprise at all, sadly. I'm waiting for our mate at Lambeth Palace to commission the *modern, relevant to today interpretation* of the Old Testament.
They sure did a thorough job of the long march through the institutions, the b@s##rds are planted everywhere. And they are organised. And well funded.
Ordinary folk protesting against the arbitrary 15-minute nonsense in Oxford not mentioned in any election manifesto were met by mounted police, and a counter-protest made up of people choosing to hide their face behind a scarf, mostly dressed in black, calling the 15 minute protesters fascists.
Now I hear that Sunak is bragging in Europe about the UK being the first to supply Ukraine with longer range ordinance. This naturally implies Zelensky being able to launch UK-made killing devices on to "Mother Russia's" soil.
Boom. GO UK! Slavia Ukrani!
Putin deploys. Oh dear.
It's far cheaper (and easier) to destroy a culture by disrupting and eroding from within, rather than sending in the tanks and infantry.
Speculation
Plan A (The Vax) Failed, discredited more by the day.
Plan B (Climate emergency, Nett Zero) losing traction as folk begin to comprehend the ramifications
Maybe this is Plan C? Wars have a distinctly negative effect on population
Orwell's 1984 is closer.
I just live in the faint hope that we can identify Big Brother (and hang him/her/them) before the sh!t hits the fan.
Yes me and a mate went to this and was glad to meet Laurence Fox and shake his hand for the work he has put in less happy with the organisation that left people in the middle of Cowley Road rather than a circular March to commend people for coming and encourage the next steps in telling the tyrant with a Hitler haircut Duncan Enright to take a wire brush and ream himself, authoritarian filth need to enter the wicker man voluntarily- genuinely Liberal people need not compel
The issue is that the digital world gives the impression that art is information- it uses information but it is not it - it is about imbuing the moment or an object with a soul- this is the difference for example between a real painting and just a graphic no NFT can have a soul there is something in the paint - lest this sounds to precious I will come back to Dahl who chose the words precisely as he did because he is an artist - just as the painter cannot say why that shade of red as a speck just there is the only thing that will do the combination of words was what was requisite and no insect possessed of ideological indoctrination and a know better attitude that denies greatness to the great knows better even on a lit crit world of readerly critical possession where the author is expected to divest interest upon publication - well no fuck the pencil neck academician critic who never puts a single cheek of an ass on any line - this even is not 1s and 0s it is written with so much vehemence and defence of an imperfect man and this is my important point we do not love a perfect literature we live it and love it because there are warts and all and it is not forgivable to make a remix that is put through an auto tune to compress perfect pitch sterilise and sanitise laundering a scarf with lavender scent of a passed grandmother - they have no soul which is why they need to extract one from art - Woke is barren it can only destroy - it takes a big soul to spare some for an art to enrich others lives
Yeah I found Chaucer difficult and that is one thing the Woke hate but will tell you to do the work - not just reading all their shite badly written books of race baiting - but to pay tax to keep em in their indolence

Thanks! Yes, I think this is the angriest piece I've written.
Fully with you, Nick.

It's being orchestrated.

It also takes an act propelled by an attitude of good faith - no act propelled by other than good faith can be art of the calibre of Dahl
Absolutely agreed.
Woke: Let's all rip apart the Pardoner's tale. "That Chaucer bloke can't spell to save his life,
He doesn't know the difference between a S and an F.
Wanker, probably a privileged racist colonialist"
