Seems this government has a new found desire for openness and transparency. *
gobbledygook: unnecessarily complicated language used to describe a simple idea.
Appropriately, this phenomenon has lots of names - bureaucratese, corporate-speak - and it is ubiquitous.
It’s often found in the most irritating places: public documents, contracts, and coming from the mouths of politicians and elected officials.
But a new Member's Bill, drawn from the biscuit tin last month, is looking to clamp down on techno-babbling.
Should this bill ever make the statutes I've got a few starter suggestions for removal of gobbledygook.
the treaty "principles" - a waffly piece of legalese
the treaty is a "partnership" - now there's something that most recognise as total BS.
I'm sure there's another million more items that are contenders for such a listing.
* I'd normally reserve a /sarc tag for that statement based on Labour's performance these past few years.
