Is this the denouement expected by Newspeak?

This entire thread has been recorded using the Firefox Scrapbook plug-in as have previous threads where articles have been removed for purposes of image.

You have incriminated yourself by your own pen as well as given us a foretaste of what is to come on the UK Forum. As regards the switch from Tony to a more 'tolerant' editor we can now see the limits of your 'tolerance'.

Therefore the Europhobes here present will forgive me if I finish by observing that in the above context it is sadly a case of plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Vive la liberté d'expression politique! Pas plus hypocrites et dictateurs

The computer network would be run by programmers who would be answerable to local soviets or councils. There would be a police force to ensure that laws are upheld and the police would be answerable to a strict set of ethical codes administrated in the first place by computers and only secondly by rotated councils.

All nation states should be abolished and replaced by bioregions (ie regions delineated by biological limitations rather than race, culture or language). There would be a balance between a high degree of decentralisation and a Planetary Council appointed by the computers following a stringent ability test overseen by the programmers (serving terms of no longer than a year each).

If I ever find myself living in this nightmareish 'Brave New World' governed by computers through a 'planetary council' then... at least there is SOMA!

You evidently have the whiff of big brother about you in your own small way. And you obviously can not tolerate your views being criticised in any detail. I have neither edited your posts nor deleted them nor suspended nor banned you, in spite of your aggression and deprecating remarks. I don't see what the comparison is.
Fare thee well, brother, though of course you're welcome to keep posting
