Seems lots of people across the pond love to quote 1984 and make references to Big Brother about nearly every single political story about the United States.

Pot. Kettle. #000000

Are you kidding me? A guy from their country wrote 1984 over 50 years ago. They have cameras on nearly every street corner. If anything I think they are qualified to "make references to Big Brother".

Why was this modded insightful? I think you missed the point. The original poster was saying that the British ridiculing the Americans about Orwellian laws here in the U.S. is like the pot calling the kettle black: the laws in the U.K. seem to violate privacy much more than the U.S. laws do.

So yes, the English are qualified to make references to Big Brother. But people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
