It was one of George Orwell's favorite hobbies, after all.

In 1949, shortly before he died, English author George Orwell prepared a list of notable writers and other people he considered to be unsuitable as possible writers for the anti-communist propaganda activities of the Information Research Department, a secret propaganda organisation of the British state under the Foreign Office. A copy of the list was published in The Guardian in 2003 and the original was released by the Foreign Office soon after.

Well what else was he supposed to do with all that free time between writing his mediocre books and being a sex pest.

I'm an outspoken critic of his sex pestness.
