Whilst 1984 may be eerily accurate when compared to modern day Britain, even Orwell could not* have imagined we would have sunk so low as this article from the BBC shows (emphasis mine) :

A man has been arrested following a complaint that Crawley Town’s FA Cup song featured a supporter mocking the victims of the Munich air crash.
The non-league side and musician Mike Dobie recorded The Specials’ A Message To You Rudy as A Message To You Rooney, ahead of their Manchester United match.

A United fan complained that the video, posted on YouTube, featured a supporter making aircraft gestures.

The 1958 air crash left 23 people dead, including eight United players.

Manchester United were returning from a European Cup tie against Red Star Belgrade when their plane crashed on a runway in Munich.

Crawley Town will face United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Sussex Police said a man was arrested on suspicion of causing harassment, alarm or distress and bailed until 25 February.

They just don’t know what it means actually”

A spokeswoman added: “A 19-year-old man was last night arrested by police in Crawley following complaints about the content of a music video produced to support Crawley Town Football Club in its FA Cup run.

“The man from Crawley was arrested under the Public Order Act on suspicion of causing harassment, alarm or distress and has been bailed until 25 February pending further inquiries.

Can it really be true that the police are now going around arresting people for “making aircraft gestures” based on a complaint by a 3rd party totally unconnected with events?

This is not crime.

This is not even thoughtcrime.

If anything this is fuckwitcrime but I am not sure which of the police, the law or the UK in general are the biggest fuckwits anymore.

*More likely he would have dismissed any such notion for the ridiculousness that it is.
