in what universe is “worst tory defeat in history” not a landslide, man, what is “sort-of” about that, and what are the conditions which would upgrade from “sort-of” to “landslide”? this kind of deliberate obfuscation isn’t exactly the same thing as lying, but it’s closer to lying than anything else
setting aside *whatever* political bent these are coming from, in what fucking world does “sort-of landslide” explain what is happening for the reader? if you are not writing to be clearly understood, then what in the fuck are you doing?
