I have recently re-read 1984, and began to realise what the story was about.
One thing that was never seemingly explained was the "Thought Police" and where they fitted into the 'Party', as part of or even above.
When I look around at our local city it is easy to see many parallels, not least of all the surveillance that is carried out both overtly and covertly - though we have yet to find a camera behind our TV - though one never knows whats behind the screens of some of the latest liseuses .... (especially the Kindle !)
