I have also been complaining for ages about how politicians use language, particularly during the 2004 election. But I didn't have a blog then. Thanks for your comments. Welcome, Jen!

I have also been complaining for ages about how politicians use language, particularly during the 2004 election. But I didn’t have a blog then.

Thanks for your comments.

I have been complaining for ages about how politicians use the idea of "supporting the troops" to bash each other - it's become a nonsensical catch-phrase! It no longer really means anything and no longer even feels as if they are referring to real people whose lives are really in danger - just another way to be divisive! What happened to "divided we fall"?? Politicians are so idiotic. I completely agree with your thoughts on the whole ‘do you support the war’ debate!
