 UK:  GREAT LITERATURE = RIGHT-WING EXTREMISM.

Reclaim the Net:  Prevent, the UK's counter-terrorism program, flagged works of classic literature such as 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare' and George Orwell's '1984' as possible signs of right-wing extremism in the making.  'A report by Prevent’s Research Information and Communications Unit (RICU) said that far-right extremists promoted “reading lists” online. It referenced an image of a list of “important texts” that was being shared in the far-right corners of the internet.  Other works of fiction that were flagged include The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien, George Orwell’s 1984, and Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent, The Daily Mail reported.'
