Sound Familiar?
From Orwells 1984...
| Quote: | | The Ministry of Truth contained, it was said, three thousand rooms above ground level, and corresponding ramifications below. Scattered about London there were just three other buildings of similar appearance and size. So completely did they dwarf the surrounding architecture that from the roof of Victory Mansions you could see all four of them simultaneously. They were the homes of the four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of government was divided. The Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war. The Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs. Their names, in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty. |
And From todays BBC News...

| Quote: | Home Office to be split into two
John Reid will have overall responsibility for counter-terrorism
The Home Office will be split into two separate departments for security and for justice in the next six weeks.
The Department for Constitutional Affairs will take control of probation, prisons and prevention of re-offending and be renamed the Ministry of Justice.
The slimmed down Home Office will then be left to concentrate on dealing with terrorism, security and immigration.
Tories say it will "compound" problems, while ex-home secretary Charles Clarke called it an "irresponsible decision".
The changes...are aimed at producing a step change in our approach to managing the terrorist threat to the UK and winning the battle for hearts and minds.
John Reid's slimmed-down Home Office will absorb counter-terrorism strategy from the Cabinet Office, with the creation of an Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism. |
