The Orwellian nightmare arrived years ago. No **** even noticed. Apple - Facebook - Google We didn't even need to be suppressed. We gave it away, and in the case of Apple, paid vastly inflated prices to get it.
Years before that, anarchist punk band Crass reckoned the TV was Big Brother: "Big Brother ain't watching you mate, you're ****ing watching him". Seems the only thing these days that will tempt people out onto the streets to take part in violent insurrection is the chance of bigger and better TVs, computers and other gadgets hence last summer.
