Bertie Wooster v. Christopher Robin - Rattlebag and Rhubarb
During WW2 the comic writer P.G.Wodehouse was called a traitor and condemned by A.A.Milne. His innocence was later proven but by then it was too late. Wodehouse exacted his revenge in his fiction.

George Orwell had an interesting chance encounter with a blasé conspiracy theorist at the Café Royal in 1940. (See left). The young man is in the grip of a dangerous fallacy. As always with autocracy and totalitarianism, Orwell nails it. The fallacy is to believe that under a dictatorial government you can be free inside. Quite a number of people console themselves…Continue Reading→
