  The winner of the 2010 Orwell Prize was Winston Smith who blogs about his experiences "working with the underclass". He won £3,000 and a plaque bearing Orwell's ambition: 'what I have most wanted to do... is to make political writing into an art.' Here are extracts from the blog:
  
  "There is a thin line between the cathartic relief this blog provides me with and the negative reinforcement of seamlessly dysfunctional lives and the ludicrously insane policies and initiatives that purport to act as a solution. In short, writing about these issues and recalling certain experiences frustrates me as much as it acts as a release valve."
