    To be Barton, or not to be

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14662175

    George Orwell and Friedrich Nietzsche are thought to be among Barton's influences
    Yeah - Nietzsche was always putting the boot in.

    That article was pretty interesting actually, especially the part about Adams reading Thomas Hardy novels, I guess it puts your problems into perspective when you read how dreary the West Country can be.

    I kinda like the idea that Barton is educating himself a little, it's admirable to try and better yourself and open your mind up, it'll probably make him a better person in the long run.

    Still a twat, though.

    "...imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever" - Orwell.

    I can see why Barton is influenced.
