Britain still has a statue of Karl Marx in Hempstead, right?

And a massive bust at his grave in Highgate Cemetery?

But there is no statue of George Orwell anywhere?

APPALLING!

Well, that certainly tells us about the British sentiments and priorities --
indeed all we need to know.

Hell, even the Communists took down many such statues.

Hmmmmmmmm...

There does NOT appear to be a STATUE, per se, of Karl Marx in London, in
Hampstead Heath -- just the massive BUST at his tomb in Highgate Cemetery --
right?

That's somewhat better...if true.

But there is no statue of George Orwell anywhere in Britain?

APPALLING!

But at least there does not appear to be a STATUE of Marx in London.

Rest easy, Brits.

But do get cracking on that Orwell statue -- and museum.
