       Trump has renamed the ‘Department of Defence’ the Department for War’. At least that’s honest I suppose but I can’t help feeling he should do the same for the other big federal departments. We have a similar problem with euphemistic naming of ministries in the UK. The Department of Health should really be the Department for Ill Health and Misery. The Home Office should be the Department for Policing and Duffing Up the Masses. The DoE should be the Department for Constant Meddling with Schools.

       The Foreign Office is really the Department for Continuing War with Foreigners by Other Means. And the DWP is really the Department for Domestic Warfare on Poor and Disabled People. In fact — thinking about it — they’re mostly departments for war of some form or another.
