If we can't trust the BBC to report news which isn't biased, then who can we trust? I don't know if any of you have read 1984 but in 1984 the character Winston Smith works as a clerk in the records department of the ministry of truth where his job is to rewrite historical documents and history books so they fit the current party line. Also they had Newspeak where they had to dumb down and cut out vocabulary and eliminate many words in the English language because a higher range of vocabulary demonstrates higher intelligence.

Now we have the latest episode re the Tories altering the "front end" of their Twitter page to a disguised Factcheck UK - that really "takes the biscuit" and then being rebuked and warned by Twitter officials for deceiving the public - reminds me of elements of deception and techniques used in George Orwell's 1984 novel. What was even more damning was the shameless defence of this embarrassing discovery that was put up by Tories like Cleverley and Raab who were so unconvincing and stony-faced - Tory bastards at work again eh!!!
