I began my distrust of Orwell when I read in 'Homage to Cataonia' that he didn't soot a fascist when he had the chance because the Franco soldier was having a shit at the time. Of course, the fascists would have behaved with such gallantry! Such ridiculous behaviour helped seal the left's fate. That and Stalin. And Hitler. But just because a fascist takes a shit is no reason not to shoot him. You soft bastard.
