Whilst walking casually around London I came across the bronze statue of George Orwell outside Broadcasting House, the BBC's headquarters. The statue is by the British sculptor Martin Jennings and it was unveiled on 7th November 2017. It seems to fit in quite nicely at this location against the cream wall of the BBC. The wall behind the statue is inscribed with George Orwell's words "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear", from an unused preface to his famous book "Animal Farm". Ownership of the statue was transferred to The Orwell Society in 2021.

Ein bisschen merkwürdig, dass die Statue direkt gegenüber vom Eingang des BBC steht. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges arbeitete Orwell unter anderem für den BBC in Raum 101. Da er sich jedoch als Propagandist ausgenutzt sah, beendete er die Zusammenarbeit. Wichtig zu wissen ist, dass der BBC damals noch dem Ministerium für Informationen unterlag (Miniinf wenn man so will ;)). Viele Erfahrungen nutzte er als Inspiration für 1984. So arbeitet Winston im Ministerium für Wahrheit und Raum 101 ist der Raum in dem Winston gefoltert wird. Insofern ist mir unklar wieso Orwells Statue den BBC verziert. Amüsant ist auch, dass die Statue von Kameras bewacht wird.
