We Must Use Only Precise Language
Thursday, 28 September 2023
We Must Use Only Precise Language Dan Wootton and Laurence Fox have talked themselves into trouble. They've dropped their guard and used language that gave their enemies everything they needed to take them down.
The Awesome Power of Words Words have the power to create and destroy. If we are to succeed, we must use words with precision.
Loose Language is Destructive Many times, we have seen people taken down due to their careless use of language. Once you've said it, you can't take it back.
The rule is clear: think before you speak and think before you write.
Clear, Rational, Positive. Our words should always be clear, rational, and positive.
Clear Clear means well-defined, accurate, and categorical. We must always make ourselves clearly understood. No ambiguity. No vagueness. Use only Clear, accurate, precise wording.
Rational Clear messages must be rational, which means logical, and supported by specific facts or known laws of nature. We must always appeal to rational minds.
You've heard it said that "Everything happens for a reason," and that should be true of everything we write and say. Always strive to be "the voice of reason." The moment we appear to be unreasonable or irrational is the moment we lose our audience.
Positive Everything we say should come from a positive intention, which is to make people's lives better. Politics is about improving people's lives
Our language should never be negative in the sense of being crass, aggressive, or threatening. We must always be perceived as positive people with good intentions.
Our slogan is "change politics for good," and we can only achieve that if we speak with clarity, rationality, and positivity.
Laurence Fox messed up. I genuinely like Laurence Fox, but he accidentally handed his enemies ( our enemies) the weapons they need to destroy him.
I suspect Laurence Fox won’t be on another news channel for a long time because broadcasters will view him as a “loose cannon”. That is bad for Laurence, Reclaim and GBNews.
Dan Wootton may well be brought down too. GB News will also suffer. All because of a bit of loose language.
Never Make the Same Mistake Twice We must learn a lesson from this; and be very careful in our use of language.
We can say whatever we want; but not in any Way we want
Please pass this on to all reformers.
