    Oh, okay. He died on Jan. 21, 1950 and was born on June 25, 1903 in Motihari, India. His pen name was Eric Arthur Blair and that’s more than you asked for!

    Born in Texas in 1890, he died, after a long illness, on March 28, 1969.

    On 1 February ****?, tanks and soldiers patrolled the streets of Glasgow after “Bloody Friday” when 20,000 strikers gathered in George Square. By the time the strike ended in early February, up to 10,000 troops had been sent to the city. No Scots troops were deployed, as the government feared they would join the workers if a revolutionary situation had developed in Glasgow. The strike had been called to demand a 40-hour week. After it ended, strikers in the shipbuilding industry negotiated a 47-hour week settlement.

    And he’s going to be released from jail in June because he’s very sick and he promised not to aid in any more suicides. 🙄 Gimme a break!
