Down With Squealer & Napoleon!

Well played BBC. Animal Farm read by South African John Kani, to mark 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall? Good one. A very well considered choice. I caught the awful conclusion by accident today, having long ago vowed never to revisit that terrible scene that rightfully traumatised many children, like me, years ago. Still awful (that's a compliment). If you want to boil with anger towards the pigs again, the conclusion should soon be available, for the next week. Listen if you dare.

PS. Cliche, I know, but has ever writer better loved his land than Orwell? Every time one opens one of his books, Jerusalem should play, like those Hallmark cards. And maybe there should be coupons for bitter inside, on which his instructions for tea-making are also inscribed.
