Orwell Complete's the Picture

Chesterton's vision was amazing, but in addition to prohibitions on alcohol and pork, Britain is now the land of politically correct limits on free speech, where quoting Winston Churchill on Islam in public can get you arrested, as happened to Paul Weston. George Orwell's "1984" totalitarian nightmare is coming true as Britain imposes Sharia-lke prohibitions on criticizing Islam.

That's very serious. I can do without pork or whiskey, but nobody can shut me up.
