Has Britain become a totalitarian state? Or is it in a transitional phase, moving in the direction of tyranny?
Such a transformation will be difficult to recognize according to the various projections of C. S. Lewis, Anthony Burgess and Stanley Kubrick.
Lewis cautions us to watch the universities, where we can expect corporate take-over marked by a philosophy of moral relativism and bureaucratic stoicism superintended by a positivist vision of scientific utopia.
In Kubrick’s interpretation of Burgess’s violent novel, it will appear as the early flickering of a bad trip just round the edges.
Ignore the flickering to your peril, ye Britains.
"What's it going to be then, eh?"
