I dunno, I feel like there’s a bit of a pattern emerging here.

Aww, did Spez trade the family cow for some "magic" beans?

Good luck rebuilding the farm now, buddy.

Yea the whole thing smells like a stitch-up. Cops couldn't afford to look incompetent or let their massive manhunt drag on too long, so they did their usual thing and picked a vaguely plausible target and build a narrative to pin it on them.

Yes. Orwell favoured democratic socialism himself.

The book attacked authoritarian socialism (“IngSoc” being a bit of a clue) to some degree but it didn’t really focus on the socialist elements - it was all about methods of control, which could be employed under any economic system.

Animal Farm was a much more direct attack on Stalinism.

Presumably, if he lands in any country that actually respects international law (which is a fair few) he will be arrested.
