I was doing some fact-finding about george orwell’s early life for a class project, and his facial hair while he was a cop is…um…well, I’m going to choose to interpret it as performance art about the nature of the police as an force of state oppression, but…I really can’t use this picture in my project. For obvious reasons.

    The pic must have been in the 1920’s? Probably the moustache wasn’t that… iconic back then.

    Edit. It’s not like he wore it after WWII, like, as a super random example chosen for no particular reason, Trump’s dad did :P
