What's In A Word?
Does it matter what kind of language people use - when they engage in a bout of verbal fisticuffs?
Certainly Bob Crow - leader of the RMT union - doesn't hold back with his comments.
Here's a recent example of Bob's hyperbole:
“If David Cameron thinks he can batter working people into the dirt through his undiluted brand of fiscal fascism, then he’s got another think coming.”
Now I'm all in favour of freedom of speech - but it seems to me that Bob has lost the plot - taken leave of his senses even.
Because to describe government policy as 'facist' is an insult to the brave men and women - who fought against facism during the Second World War - at such a terrible cost.
