It seems oddly appropriate that on the day it’s reported that keeping the DNA of innocent people criminalises them that George Orwells diaries are to be released. In a thoroughly modern approach the diaries will come out in “real time” + 70 years in blog form. You can find the blog here, rss feeds and all. I reckon it will be an interesting read and I wonder what sort of parallels we will notice given the writings are on the run up to WWII.
