From the
Boy's Own Paper: "The Pygmy twisted round in
his grasp, and with the fierceness of a she-wolf
suddenly buried his teeth deep into the flesh of
Crouch's arm." Gilson's serial 'In the Power
of the Pygmies.
The idea here is to consider things
that have been banned or that are likely to be
banned in the near future.
It is not my intention to cause any
upset for "minorities" or for
"majorities". And there is no intention
here to be racialist: racial differences are
addressed in an honest manner.

George Orwell, the great English
"socialist patriot" (an expression
which was not then a contradiction in terms)
wrote in 1941, "England is perhaps the only
great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of
their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is
always felt that there is something slightly
disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is
a duty to snigger at everything from horse racing
to suet pudding. It is a strange fact, but it is
unquestionably true that almost any English
intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing
to attention during God Save the King than of
stealing from the poor box."
