POPSGeorge Orwell's Birthday Today is George Orwell's Birthday. Eric Arthur Blair was born on 25 June 1903. Nearly everybody in the English-speaking world has at least heard of, if not read, the iconic books 1984 and Animal Farm , or has at least heard of Big Brother. Less familiar is his work as journalist, essayist, poet and critic. Our language has acquired the adjective orwellian to describe a situation nobody wants to be facing. When I taught writing, my students' first assignment was to write an in-class essay, then read Orwell's essay Politics and the English Language , which is the source of the material in the clip above, then rework their own essay using the rules Orwell recommended. It usually improved their work. However, rereading Politics and the English Language finds me thinking that in the sixty-three years since it was first published, that, firstly, in all this time, few people have taken its advice to heart; (continued in comments)

POPSThe Little President From article: "Nicolas Sarkozy upheld our real values. He called the pictures of women and teenagers being beaten by Basij thugs on motorcycles "brutal" and "totally disproportionate." "The ruling power claims to have won the elections ... if that were true, we must ask why they find it necessary to imprison their opponents and repress them with such violence." "Chances are that behind the scenes the mullahs are promising Obama a glorious peace agreement that will allow him to parade his gargantuan ego around the world one more time. They are Persian rug sellers over there, who know all about hard bargaining. They've got his number: He's a pushover. Obama will trade personal glory against the freedom of Iran's people any day of the week."

POPSNew Memo: Bush-Blair Conspired to Start Iraq War Without WMD Motive Hard proof that WMD was not Bush's or Blair's real reason to start war with Iraq. Not mentioned behind the Bush-Blair Anglo-American conspiracy to invade Iraq, is that neoconservative and Israeli elements who fomented the plan based upon their convenient "catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor" (from their blueprint written in Sept. 2000, one year before 9/11). Yes, it still matters now, because of those who say that "Bush did not lie, he was mistaken about WMD", which this hard evidence entirely destroys.

POPSConfidential memo reveals US plan to provoke an invasion of Iraq Proof of immoral leadership? Documents like this raise issues of national embarrassment, not national security. The restoration of public confidence requires this new inquiry to be transparent. Contentious matters should not be kept out of the public domain, even in the run-up to an election Paraphrasing Bush's comments at the meeting, Manning, noted: "The start date for the military campaign was now penciled in for 10 March. This was when the bombing would begin."

POPSBrown criticised over 'secret' probe into Iraq war Brown is showing greater courage than Obama. The US would have insisted it be behind closed doors for the same tired reasons. Even if we don't learn the truth, it causes embarrassment. There should be one here, though I know it would achieve nothing. The Labour leader was holding his hand when Howard passed on the lies.

POPSAll funded from current tax not investment Pension experts say the government should do more to reduce public sector retirement perks. Ros Altmann, a former adviser on pensions to Tony Blair, said: “The number in the public sector will rise in the years ahead, not least because pay levels have risen sharply in the public sector in recent years. The burden of paying these very generous pensions will fall on taxpayers for generations to come.”

POPSDocuments Detail Historic Treasury/Bankers Meeting
# "CEO Talking Points" used by former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson confirming that the nine bank CEOs present at the October 13 meeting had no choice but to accede to the government's demands for equity stakes and the resulting government control. # "Major Financial Institution Participation Commitments" signed by the nine bankers on October 13. The CEOs not only hand wrote their institution's names but also hand wrote multi-billion dollar amounts of "preferred shares" to be issued to the government. # Email documenting that, on the very day of the meeting, the Chief of Staff to the Treasury Secretary and other top Treasury staff did not know the names of any of the banks that would be in attendance. # Email showing Treasury officials wanted to use the Secret Service to help keep the press away from the CEOs arriving at the meeting. # Email showing a public relations effort, run in part out of the Bush White House, to tamp down public concerns about "nationalizing the banks."

POPSMoron Labour Minister The story tells you all. Defend this if you dare. And I heard this creep running down the BNP and its supporters. My friend, a former BNP candidate in Wigan, has just welcomed his nephew back from Afghanistan, to Selly Oak hospital. That is the difference between true Englishmen and those who want to ruin us.

POPSNetanyahu defies Obama on Israeli settlement freeze
Whew! I'm glad this hoax is over. Last week Netanyahu also declared an undivided Jerusalem under Israeli control is also 'non-negotiable.' These two issues have been the 'pretenses of peace," for the last 40 years, the U.S. position, loved by liberals, and never intended by Israel to be honest or in good faith; now that is clearer. Perhaps, though, the West might agree (with Tony Blair's help) of the need to disarm all the Palestinians and have them ruled by USA funded and Israeli controlled police thugs and politicians...another component of the ongoing 'pretenses for peace. The previous proposals are now called, btw, "a dead letter." The best real policy, of course, would be to withdraw all Western and U.S. support for this fascist, apartheid Zionist state. It's been the worse mistaken decision in U.S. history and not in our people's interest...although certainly in the interest of our never end war military machine and war profiteers. End this lifetime of wars. No

POPSWhy Blackpool South MP must go.
It has been twelve years since the Labour brigade slipped this professional politician under the toilet door and into Blackpool. The electorate knew nothing of this researcher from Brighton, but the demographic and the complete emancipation of the Blackpool South electorate ought to have given some hint. Conservatism in Blackpool was a shambles and has not progressed an inch – centimetre to the Poles – in the intervening years. With the changing demographics, the public apathy, the frustration of generation after generation of political figurehead achieving absolutely nothing for a declining super town, it was with little wonder that the surge in immigrants with their socialist heritage brought with it this fresh faced figure to suit all needs (sic). In those heady days of New Labour the voters were lured into the fantasy of a new political era under that gleaming new god, Tony Blair and the hubris of an untested deity. History is a great teacher and we now all know what a connivi
