What hypocrisy! You criticise New Labour's use of language, quoting
Orwell, but refer to it as "Stalinism". Either, unlike Orwell, you do not
understand the evil that was Stalinism or you don't understand Orwell.
Personally I find Blairism as odious as Thatcherism but distinctions are
important and if you can't distinguish these from Stalinism, you need to
go back to your Orwell.
