@ProjectFearlessness Additionally, from John Crace, The Guardian, "May went on to say that the government was proposing to throw out amendments that would oblige it to behave in ways Jenrick had said it wanted to." I dub the language #TorySpeak. It sounds like normal English but means the opposite. #Politics #migrants #slavery

Thanks to the #linguist and #languagelovers of Mastodon I have discovered what conlangs are. I realise I had come across a couple but didn't realise what an amazing variety of them there are. Just read about them on The Language Doctors website. Since it lists Newspeak as one, can I put forward #Toryspeak as another? It seems like ordinary English bit means the opposite. Do test it with Sunal, Zahawi, Barclay, et al's utterances. Let me know what you think.

@13sarahmurphy #Rish! is using #TorySpeak which seems like normal English but means the opposite. I don't know why they keep using it, since so few people can possibly believe what they say in it.
