Arabic translator Alice Guthrie investigates 'Daesh', the new name for ISIS recently adopted by several world leaders because it delegitimises the group's activities. But how can a new name undermine a terrorist organisation? And why do the English-speaking media find the name so difficult to understand?

Over the last few months, there has been a concerted effort by several senior global politicians to give a new name to the group known as ISIS, or Islamic State, IS or ISIL. That new name is ‘Daesh’. If you've followed coverage of this attempted official linguistic sea change, you'll have gathered that the new name, although it’s just an Arabic acronym equivalent to the English 'ISIS', apparently delegitimises the organisation, mocks them, and thus drives them to threaten taking violent retribution on anyone who uses it.

The currently cold weather in Britain is a direct result of unchecked immigration, claimed UKIP yesterday.

“Immigrants make the weather colder, that’s just science,” said leader Nigel Farage.

“They come from really hot places, so when they arrive in our country they need more heat than normal people to feel comfortable. This means that there is less heat available to genuine British people and it naturally becomes colder.”

“But of course the BBC won’t tell you that because it doesn’t fit their anti-British, pro-communist, trendy, beardy agenda.”
