It is a paradox of the highest order that a nation once heralded as the bastion of liberty, the birthplace of George Orwell, has now seemingly forsaken its illustrious past. The country, which once stood as a beacon of freedom and a defender of truth, now appears to have lost its way, descending into depths unworthy of its storied heritage.
