At the Labour Party conference they’re not just intent on radicalising British politics, they’re re-writing the language. Inventing a new one almost. Because using ‘old English’, describing their intentions, should hell freeze- sorry, should they win a general election, would make them sound a bit criminal. So, like Russia before them over a century ago, they’ve entered the realm of linguistic restructuring and excessive euphemism-ing.

Among their intentions are plans to, basically, abolish all private schools. Not that they’re into limiting choices that people should be entitled to, but they’re just ‘making it  a fairer society’ (the blanket justification for any evil they wish to perpetrate; because who can argue with ‘fair’?) This would start with a removal of all subsidies to the Independent education sector, probably whopping on vat to school fees and removing charitable status. So far so Corbyn.

But then it goes further. That the ‘endowments, investments and properties’ owned by private schools should be ‘redistributed democratically and fairly across the the country’s educational institutions’.

So that’s euphemism 1. ‘Democratic redistribution’ = theft (in old wordage). Shut down an entire arm of the education system, albeit a bit elitist, albeit where all the conservatives were educated, and a very successful part of education, and just… just… just steal the riches and sling all the kids in state schools which don’t have any room for the kids they already have. Probably make the kids fight for their places. With knives. That’s democratic.

Then there’s property. Private landlords will have to sell their properties to the tenants. At a ‘fair price’ that the government would recommend. Not necessarily market price. Just a fair one.

So euphemism 2: fair price = land grab.

‘Business restructuring’ is how they plan to steal 600 billion quids worth of shares in big companies by redistributing them among the workers.

‘Reviewing governmental roles’ is what they call getting rid of Tom Watson, which failed anyway. If you can’t sack the man, sack the job.

Yet with all  this ‘fairness’ going on, its Brexit that’s going to bring Corbyn down. Or me with a chain saw.

Keep the red flag flying.

Happy Monday
