Fascinating read, Harry, thank you. Orwell’s observations really cut to the chase. The part about the ill-thought-through downsides of social housing was particularly interesting.
As in "The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists" by Robert Tressell, the deprivation Orwell describes is unimaginable. For some people even today, hardship is a reality. As a species we seem to make so little progress It fills one with despair. Thanks for highlighting this important issue.
