Orwellian language means the opposite of what it says. Examples:
A "Clear Skies Initiative" that increases pollution.
An "election integrity" bill that kills democracy.
A "free speech absolutist" who silences journalists.
Which examples would you add?
@hilaryjohn2 @georgelakoff The word "delivering", as in "delivering brexit" or "delivering for the British public" always makes my head spin. It's ironic, with traffic jams at the ports and other barriers to delivering anything.
Sometimes I wonder if they are really saying "de-livering" in a Promethean sense.
