"Changing register is becoming an essential skill even for politicians: whereas at one time politics was conducted entirely in formal register, these days politicians need to be able to vary their way of speaking according to their audience. And although the framing of an issue can to a certain extent sway voters, Greene begs to differ with Orwell’s view that language is key to fixing politics." - Lucy Chatburn reviews Talk on the Wild Side by Lane Greene
