Government doublespeak
'Culture of respect'. Hahaha. Except it isn't funny. 'Respect' is not what you get when some set of silly pricks try to rule over a population. Respect is not what you get through enforcing stupid laws and penalising people for wearing particular items of clothing. Respect is what you get in a society where everyone is equal, where stupid power trips aren't the order of the day. In fact, it is what you get in an anarchist society, not a governed one. Only in Blairite doublespeak/bullshit does a 'culture of respect' mean what he tries to make it mean. Yes, i'm angry.
To be expanded on shortly...
