Why did the Thought Police take so long to get Julia, but got Winston so quickly?
She claims to have been rebelling against the Party for some time, the Thought Police must have known, why didn’t they get her until she started a relationship with Winston?

My best answer is that is was precisely because of her relationship with Winston. Something something about utterly controlled opposition being for their amusement whereas the occurrence of genuine love is abhorrent to English Socialism. I haven't gotten into Orwell yet but he seems like he'd be all for that type of gay symbolism. Love in service of the Truth is the shield against authoritarianism. Or something.

probably because she was fucking the right people (inner party members), so they overlooked her rebellions

Didn’t she specifically say she never fucked inner party members, only outer party members?
