I'm so confused...

No, I'm saying the GENERAL BRITISH PUBLIC read 1984 after WWII (because it was released in 1948) and maybe thought Churchill wasn't real for some silly reason.

That actually makes a good amount of sense. It might not have anything to do with Chirchil, per se, he just happened to be a famous leader around the time of the book's release. Interesting.
