Progressive society – what is it?
By Baldmichael Theresoluteprotector’sson
You may well ask. This is a phrase used at the start of the Labour Together report, ‘BritCard: a progressive digital identity for Britain’.
As I was preparing part 2 of an article to address the issues with the report, I realised that it would be better if I analysed this first.
I have already looked at the word ‘progressive’ in a post which at its root meaning just means ‘going forward’.
However, it has acquired other connotations over the years and is beloved of politicians who think that going forward necessarily means improving on what we have already.
Usually though it just means reinventing the wheel and creating chaos in the interim.
Until we get back to where we started, although probably in a different order.
Anyway, I am going to look at anagrams of the phrase and see whether this should encourage or discourage us. Given what I found with ‘progressive’ I am not sure adding society will improve matters.
Anagrams of ‘Progressive society’
Progesiv cty = 11 individual letters
Of three longest single words (the other is ‘stereoscopies’) we have
- visceroptoses
- visceroptosis
These mean
a prolapse or a sinking of the abdominal viscera (internal organs) below their natural position.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visceroptosis
And we get these phrases;
- eg yer visceroptosis
- I grey visceroptoses
This suggests that a progressive society will result in a slump!
Here are some other phrases, my selection with comments as appropriate:
- go cosy perversities
- yipes get corrosives
- icy river goosesteps
Reminiscent of Nazi Germany
- pigs toys recoveries
- pigsties recover soy
Reminiscent of the pigs of ‘Animal Farm’

Summary and final thoughts
There you have a quick overview of the nature of ‘Progressive society’. There are plenty of suitable anagrams to make you seriously wonder about those who push it.
As to favourite anagrams there are plenty to choose from but “very gooier cesspits” has got to go down as a classic.
And talking about going down and cesspits, here is a post by Morgoth, a chap from the North-east of England. The video images at the start will put you off your food so please be warned!
