Orwell and Harman - the odd couple
An unlikely couple you might think. But together they featured in Salieri’s Christmas and helped him to understand a little more about the world according to New Labour.
One is of course a well-respected figure in left-of-centre circles…while the other is married to Jack Dromey. But, cheap jokes apart, Salieri was reading a brilliant collection of Orwell’s journalism for Tribune in the 1940s - buy it here - when Harman came on the wireless suggesting that prostitution be made illegal (by the device of making it a criminal offence for men to purchase sex from women). Report here.
