Phil the pedant on the war path again!
I have just been reminded by a politician on the Box just now.
The use of disconnect as a noun!
What next
Context - "There is now a disconnect between politicians and young people"
Um, I thought politicians have never been more unpopular than now.
"Pigs in the trough" was the latest epithet for them, and ion the BBC News too!
This refers to the amount of money they can claim in expenses, etc.
Less work, more money.
Of course, they pass the laws to facilitate this!
Grhhhhh!
Phil
