Subject: BS: reassuringly (sur)real (UK) + USA(?)
GEORGE Orwell has come back from the grave and set up a satirical
website called
"UK Resilience" www.ukresilience.info

Click here

which claims to be an official government emergency website for dealing with dastardly threats to the Big Brother state ranging from the firefighters to terrorists (aren't they the same thing these days?). It even has a logo of a fluttering Union Jack to reinforce the Churchillian title. It can't be for real. Can it? Please?

Meanwhile, internet users can cross that wafer thin line to genuine satire with some superb US pseudo-propaganda posters at http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/PhotoAlbum1.html
