It is part of politics to make things look better than they really are. What is a spin doctor but a serial euphemiser?

I got into New College, Oxford. The ethos was that you could work - or not.

How come there's only one Monopolies Commission?

I am only too aware that I am open to Rees's Second Law of Quotation: "However sure you are that you have attributed a quotation correctly, an earlier source will be pointed out to you."

Euphemism in the workplace does not end with job descriptions. It reaches a pusillanimous peak at the other end of the work process - in dismissal.

People will say what they want to say, in the way they want to.

Democracy is too good to share with just anybody.
