LOVE’S A DOING WORD!
VERBS WITHOUT ACTION? ABSURD!
SO, IMPRISON ME!

I like the way "love's a doing word" is a quote from Massive Attack, who recently founded a body with Fontaines D. C. and with Kneecap and someone else too to protect the artist's right to speak out against war atrocities in the middle east... is this what you were getting at or is it by chance? 😎

Thanks for your comment and the info, John.
No, my intention was to play with the grammatical definition of a verb, and that of a noun.
The UK government, whilst protesting its "love" [the noun] of freedom, and of democracy, plainly demonstrates through its suppression of dissent in the UK, enacted on behalf of a foreign fascist regime, that it in reality, does not "love" [the verb] freedom.
