Islington English

Ed West introduces the Islington English Dictionary and Liberal Phrasebook, also handy for getting by from the Annex to Arlington.

I will limit myself to two or three entries, the rest at the link.

Anti-racism campaigner – Hamas supporter or other terrorist spokesman who’s so extreme he’s even banned from Saudi Arabia.

Diversity – Lots of middle-class people of various ethnic backgrounds who all went to the same schools, the same universities, watch the same programmes, read the same books and vote the same way.

Victorian – The wacky idea that generational poverty might be linked to behavior and what was once called “morality”.
