I read this and thought it had to be fake but it isn't. The irony of 1984 being on the list along with Shakespeare is just mind numbing.

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Sounds like they created a recommended reading list. Surprised they didn't include the Bible.

I wonder if all the indie bookstores that like to put up banned book displays are going to put up displays for these. Not really wondering. I know they won't.

So in other words: "Stop reading stuff that warns you about the 'utopia' we are trying to build."
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.

The Canterbury Tales?

I've stood next to his grave in Westminster, so clearly the English think he was important. And now that makes you an extremist?

They're nuts. Absolutely committing cultural suicide and Muslims are happy to fill the void

I'm surprised CS Lewis isn't on the list.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Everyone knows that songs at The Green Dragon and Longbottom Leaf pipe weed are a gateway to super far right extremism.

I can see why some in the British government would see this as hate speech.
