Is Eric Blair (aka George Orwell) about to join Lloyd’s of London? As I note a new syndicate has been formed: syndicate 1984! No doubt “Winston Smith and Ors” will be fully covered by “Dystopia Re”, and concentrate on “Oceania”, covering a range of risks from thought crime to war risks in “Eastasia” and “Eurasia”, to internal threats from rodents, Winston’s real fear (Spectrum, October 19).
