The law is responsible for most of these... "I am MINDED..." - "this is not APPROPRIATE"... and of course PLODSPEAK....

Galton and Simpson did a brilliant satire on plodspeak.

PC "I was walking down Bond Street in a Easterly direction"
Lawyer Hancock "What is an Easterly direction down Bond Street?"
PC " I was walking towards the little numbers"

Legaleaze, Plodeaze, MediaSleaze, GuardiaNistas, SUNazis, all stem from the same evolution/abuses of English language.

'Alleged Pedo') Arfur Mullard was the BIG plod proceeding towads the little numbers in Hancock's Court Case.

While unfit for office, BIG twat Tom Watson M.P.(new book "Dial M For Murdoch') spoiled the whole committe's work by personalizing his findings.

A more 'Appropriate' wording for a UK Parliamentary Committee might have been, "Unfit to run a BRITISH corporation."

Case dismissed. Next (nut)case pleeze ?
