"England is non the jewelled island of Shakespeare's much-quoted message, nor is it the inferno depicted past Dr Goebbels. More than either it resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian family, with not many black sheep in it but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy of silence about the source of the family income. It is a family in which the young are by and large thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family. Information technology has its private linguistic communication and its common memories, and at the approach of an enemy it closes its ranks. A family unit with the wrong members in control - that, possibly is as well-nigh every bit one can come up to describing England in a phrase." ― George Orwell, Why I Write
