Here is a quote from George Orwell, seems he was a real sage. On listening to mr edwin millipead air his views on the debacle caused by the journalists at the News of the World, I just had to make this point. Good bye millipead you are such a failure, do you think we have no collective memory, of your recent time in the labour government. [lower case used as they are not proper people].
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
