“In intention, at any rate, the English intelligentsia are Europeanized. 
They take their cookery from Paris and their opinions from Moscow. In the 
general patriotism of the country they form a sort of island of dissident 
thought. England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals 
are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always 
felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman 
and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse 
racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably 
true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of 
standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a 
poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping 
away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes 
squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always 
anti-British.”
― George Orwell, England Your England (1941)

"It should be noted that there is now no intelligentsia that is not in some sense ‘left’. Perhaps the last right-wing intellectual was T. E. Lawrence. Since about 1930 everyone describable as an ‘intellectual’ has lived in a state of chronic discontent with the existing order. Necessarily so, because society as it was constituted had no room for him. In an Empire that was simply stagnant, neither being developed nor falling to pieces, and in an England ruled by people whose chief asset was their stupidity, to be ‘clever’ was to be suspect. If you had the kind of brain that could understand the poems of T. S. Eliot or the theories of Karl Marx, the higher-ups would see to it that you were kept out of any important job. The intellectuals could find a function for themselves only in the literary reviews and the left-wing political parties."

UK nodarbojas ar lēnu nacionālo seppuku.
Lefwing intelektuāļi beidzot tikuši pie varas.

Tādi birku karinātāji savlaik arī nespēja saskatīt būtiskas atšķirības starp Orvelu un viņa kritizētajiem kreisajiem intelektuāļiem.

Es ļoti labi saskatu atšķirību starp Orvelu un kreisajiem intelektuāļiem, kas ved savas nācijas postā.

Par to, ka esi pataloģisks melis (tāpat kā tavs elks) es jau sen vairs nešaubos.

Nāk no cilvēka, kas uz katra stūra spēj ieraudzīt nacistus, fašistus u.c. bubuļus.
