It's a Beastly Greek Word Anyway

No matter how genuinely and sincerely held, no matter how deranged and incoherent, and no matter how voluminously shrieked forth on social media, a set of opinions does not constitute a philosophy, according to an employment tribunal which has signally failed to keep up with the intellectual times. An erstwhile squaddie for the Farage Falange in one of its former incarnations was sacked from a drug rehabilitation charity for sharing migrant-bashing posts, and the tribunal ruled that "no coherent belief or set of beliefs was forthcoming" despite her genuine and sincere belief in her own rights as opposed to the rights of the Other. Fortunately, this means that her philosophical objections to the European convention on human rights are unlikely to stand in the way of her ordering the European Court of Human Rights to overturn the judgement.
