The BBC axing its coverage of the World Pipe Band Championships sends a 'clear message' that Scottish culture is unworthy of investment, Iona Fyfe writes✍️ Read here: www.thenational.scot/comment/2660...

Are we entering Orwell or Huxley's dystopia?

An illustration in a retro propaganda poster style features a giant screen displaying a single large eye looking down. Below the screen, a row of people stand holding up glowing smartphones toward the eye. The background is split in red and dark blue. Text at the bottom reads: "Orwell imagined a government that installs a telescreen in every home. It watches you. It listens. You cannot turn it off. What actually happened is that you bought one yourself, put it in your pocket, and gave it permission to access your microphone, your camera, your location and your contacts. Nobody forced the telescreen on you. You queued evernight to buy it. The difference between Orwell's dystopia and yours is that his required enforcement and yours runs on consent."
