Clean British Blue

As long as we're putting Orwell on the postage stamps, it's appropriate that the spirit of Ingsoc should sweep forth in commemoration of all that the nation has striven to eliminate from its collective life and consciousness. A blue plaque is to be put up in the name of a youth opportunities beneficiary whose lack of encumbrance by Health and Safety bureaucracy led to his presumably ungrateful demise in 1875. Since the boy was gainfully employed and not an immigrant, his case was publicised by a sentimental Tory aristocrat who thought that children should be made to work no more than ten hours a day and eight on Saturdays, and was even in favour of their spending some of their copious free time at school. These unfortunate and un-British eccentricities, which today would see the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury banished to the most naïvely ideological margins of the Labour Party, were redeemed in part by his dismissal of the Syro-Palestinian Untermenschen as a non-existent nation and his fervent advocacy of the Zionist Great Replacement.
