Given the resemblance to Newspeak, and the also rather humorous state of their error page, you're probably right.
Although from a government that seriously thought they could sell off all the forests without anyone getting annoyed, I am unwilling to assume anything.
- simonw 16y agoNot a joke, a typo - it's "Spin v.s. Trust" - http://twitter.com/alphagov/status/68322599503011840 http://twitter.com/alphagov/status/68322599503011840 (@alphagov turned round an answer to my question in less than a minute!)
- corin_ 16y agoCan't help but feel that they opted for spin over trust in that reply, I can't see how they meant that to be a 'v'. My guess, and obviously I could be wrong, is that it was an internal joke, but not meant to be for public consumption for fear that people wouldn't get it and would criticise them for it.
- bkudria 16y agoIt's clearly a 'v', the marker was just a bit dry. Go do something productive.
