You mean Eric Blair. "George Orwell" was his pseudonym. And yes, he would be proud to see the government taking sensible, non-lethal, non-harmful measures against violent rioters.
He would not have been proud to see people smashing other people's property whilst protesting against an organisation which seeks to ensure greater co-operation and mutual benefit between a diverse body of nations.
