Remaining cordial; George Orwell was a posh boy who sold out every single one of his comrades to save his own reputation including gay and other marginalised people. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwell%27s_list

Perhaps more interestingly, the list was probably comissioned by Robert Conquest who went on to author multiple books that have become cannon for anticommunists despite being thoroughly debunked. Interesting how these posh boys always end up doing this, I wonder what their vested interests are.
