    Less Jargon

    Policies will no longer be "delivered" and there will be less "collaboration" and "transformation" in Whitehall, if the government gets its way.
    A new style guide on the www.gov.uk website warns against "vague" jargon and buzzwords as well as using too many metaphors in government announcements.
    Agenda, dialogue, empower and utilise are among the phrases to be avoided.
    Officials should use "understandable language" instead, a Cabinet Office spokesman said.
    Under the new guidance, the civil service's vocabulary will shrink a little as it advises staff to use plain English in their dealings with the public and "not to use formal or long words when easy or short ones will do".

    MP's should apply the same so:

    We are doing what the country wants - Banks told us to f**k you over
    The public are behind us - My mates are saying to f**k you over
    This will save money - We're gonna f**k you over until you bleed
    The country is doing well - We're filling our pockets with your money f**kwits
    We're exercising pay restrain - You get between 0 and 1%, we'll make sure we get more and f**k you over
    The debt is being paid off - We're f**king you over for your money, giving the money to our friends and not paying the debt, but it sounds good
    We will appoint a committee to review that - MP's to climb aboard gravy train, cost a fortune and do f**k all
    We will not privatise the NHS - The word "NHS" will not be private, but our mates will get contracts with big payments to supply a p**s poor service

    *shrug*
