to elaborate a little further, if a government said they were about to introduce measures that would irradicate most crime but with a considerable loss of civil liberty, would you accept it ?
i am not talking about the issue that we have at the moment with id cards, but things that reach much further,ie tracking devices on everyone, cameras in your own home, abolition of cash, real extreme stuff, but a gaurantee that most "serious crime" would be gone from our lives

Orwell had a lot of points he spent most of the thirties trying to live and explain to his own social class the problems of the so called 'working class'. the points he was trying to make, no doubt are the reason why he ended up dying from T.B. instead of living to a 'grand old age' like most of the middle class.
