Computer Doublespeak

 Computers make mistakes

That is one thing computers very rarely do. The progammers might make an error. Politicians who introduce IT systems without much thought may very well make mistakes. To blame it all on the computers is doublespeak.


Technical errors

Translated into English this means "we do not know what went wrong." Politicians blame "technical errors" when either they have sought to conceal the truth or they do not understand the IT systems they have installed.

A "technical error" is to blame for many of the errors in track and trace and the simple pack of lies which underestimates the level of the Corona Virus.

The Christmas relaxation of precautions is not based on any thought. The politicians just sucked it out of their thumbs. And if it all goes "tits up" it will of course be a "technical error".
