It is amazing how the opposition seems emulate the characters in Animal Farm.

The oppositon leader reminds me so much of Napoleon and his followers who
love to use the words "our leader" are so much like the characters in the book. To those of you who have not read the book, please do so. It is written by George Orwell.

Before you make hasty judgements to my statements read the book if you have not done so already.

I have read that book, one of my favourites. In fact I just yesterday finished another of Orwell's works, the dystopic novel '1984'. Read it if you have the chance.
I think the comparison between the characters of that allegory and the members of the Oppostion is flawed and unfair. Napolean's character symbolized the communist dictator Joseph Stalin. If you are aware of the atrocities he committed during his iron reign, I think you would rethink the comparison. The other characters represent other key figures in the communist movement of that era, and the revolutions that were spurned to defeat it.
Look beyond the superficial plot.

hmm u read minds aye. I read Animal Farm two days ago.

Oh yea, its on the BGCSE syllabus so they make kids read it in HS.

I read it like 8 years back and really don't remember all the deatils. However I remember that the Rebellion agaisnt man by the animals ended in the animals becoming more in the likeness of man until there was no difference.. "four legs good, two legs bad"!

Snowball, Nepolian, Mollie, Boxer, The Dogs, and the raven, I mostly remember. And the wise donkey!

Interesting book though. I was told that it was based on a war comparison or something.

i read the book a while ago and i tend to agree to a point. the part where they talked about being different if they ruled and then not being able to see their faults once they got there.

I read the book and what you are saying is absolute nonsense

How can perry christie be compared to Napoleon???????
IS NOPOLEON CONSULTATIVE????????

I mean some of you'all just carryin on STUPID STUPID STUPID

*Sunny steppng up to the mic... testing, 1,2,3..*

"Four legs good, TWO legs better."

Sheep are we. That is all.

Perfect analogy. This is a line from the synopsis: Life becomes harder and harder for the animals; the pigs impose more and more controls on them while reserving privileges for themselves.

2)Says one thing and does another
3)Promise a new era
4)Got into power and screwed things up
5)When things went wrong, reminded the animals about how things were under Mr. Jones
6)Used his followers to do his dirty work

4)Got into power and screwed things up
5)When things went wrong, reminded people how things were under the UBP
6)Used PLP supporters to promote his dirty work
7)Painted the Image that things were getting better when they were getting worse (example-The Tourism figures)


Doesn't sound so "stupid" now does it?:)

The list just goes on and on and on, but yet some people just choose to live in denial! When will people realise the PLP of 1967 and the PLP of 2007 are two different parties! I tell ya Ignorance is indeed a bliss!

3)Promise a new era SAME COULD APPLY TO THE FNM
4)Got into power and screwed things up FNM 1997-2002
5)When things went wrong, reminded the animals about how things were under Mr. Jones SAME COULD APPLY TO THE FNM
6)Used his followers to do his dirty work HUBERT INGRAHAM / FNM
7)Painted the image that things were getting better when they were getting worse
now let's compare......... FNM 1997-2002

The list just goes on and on and on, but yet some people just choose to live in denial! When will people realize the PLP of 1967 and the PLP of 2007 are two different parties! I tell ya Ignorance is indeed a bliss!

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY CAUSE THIS COULD APPLY TO THE FNM AS WELL.
IF YOU GONNA TRY ONE, YOU MUST TRY ALL. THE FNM AREN'T ANGELS. YOU NEED TO BE MORE OBJECTIVE WHEN TOUTING LIES AND INNUENDOS. IF YOU GONNA SPEAK ON ONE, THEN SPEAK ON THE OTHER. FOOLS ONLY PLAY THIS UNNECESSARY GAME.:shhh:
