True facts. I was under purdah legislation when I worked at the arts council.
Obviously still said Tory’s are cunts and no one arrested me

Makes them seem more legit/smarter if they keep talking in riddles. It’s how Johnson became famous via HIGNFY.

I’m more concerned about political journalists whose job it is/should be to make political understanding as widespread as possible. Same shit as using buzzwords in the office - it’s a distancing technique.

Mildly interesting aside (given the delusions of Empire that have brought us all here in the first place) is that the word itself is clearly a remnant of the Raj as its more common meaning is about segregation of women in society. Espectially in India.

Even the language of the process reinforces the same old shite.

Oh good, I was just wondering how Jess Phillips (and her pal Dwigt Rortugal) was going to be able to somehow make this about her while not actually doing anything to help, and here we are.

Purdah is a practice of segregation between women and men in some south Asian countries - the word means curtain, and in some houses is literally a curtain.

Found that out recently.

Maybe it’s their way of saying “definitely NOT ghostwritten”

It is because of men the ring survives.
