People’s Front of Judea
/ˈpiːpᵊlz frʌnt ɒv ʤuː'dɪə/ (n.)
A collection of system insiders who agree that the system is malfunctioning are happy to pronounce publicly — semi-publicly — that something must be done to correct it but who, when it comes to it, are not prepared to do anything about it.
So named after the paramilitary group in Monty Python’s Life of Brian [I thought it was the “Popular Front”? — Ed] referenced above.
A classic Judean People’s Front is the one that will be at pains to entreat commercial lawyers the world over to write simple, clear, business-friendly contracts in plain English. Econmiums will issue forth from European regulators, US regulators, drafting doyens, prose stylists, legaltech bros and divers industry greybeards that simplifying contractual language is an utter imperative for efficiency, productivity, access to justice, diversity and inclusion and any number of other fashionable soups du jour — but will contracts get any shorter? Will they fuck profane expression which may refer to the act of sexual intercourse, but is also commonly used as an intensifier or to convey disdain.
