More empty threats from the RMT or did the lazy bolshevics not get enough
support from the sane section of their membership and decided to save face
instead?

Conjunction. Look it up.

So what?

As you can see, some words have multiple roles.

I don't think politicians and others on the 'Today' programme starting
every sentence with the word 'so' is one of them.

However, I did not mean to have go at you personally, as a helpful
contributor to multiple groups. It was really intended as a societal
observation.

"So ..." in 2018 is the same as "Well ..." in 1918. It is an annoying,
no-benefit, substitution - but nugatory compared to the oh-so-excrescent
media favourite "existential"

Just like Train Station :)

Just one of many grammatical tics we all use from time to time I suppose.
If you stripped english sentences of all the dead wood and filler you could
probably shorten a lot of them by half.

The give themselves another two seconds to think about what they are
going to say.

It's a shorter version of "I'm glad you asked me that question".

Anything is better than someone who inserts "like" after every 3rd word,
often followed either by "totally" or "awesome". Or both.

It's generally separated from the rest of the answer by a significant
pause.

So I think it is a good idea to confuse the bolshevics who have no
idea of the niceties of the English language.
I must confess, I love my native tongue and its miriad ways of
confusing the less fortunate.

So nice of you to illustrate what I assume is one of the countless
variations on, or interpretations of, Skitt's law :)

Very true, however in Kyle land saying a whole 4 words in a row makes you
an intellectual. Far better one should end (and often begin) sentences with
"init" in order not to confuse ones peers.

The Oxford English Dictionary admits no alternatives to "innit", but
then it has standards even for such nonstandard words.
