GEORGE AKA 'GIDEON' OSBORNE: Cutting off his nose to reveal a spiteful face... and indoctrinated race?

The Slog: Although in future Britain’s Desert Rats will be – thanks to yet more budget cuts from The Draper – without any tanks (rather like Langlauf without the skis) it seems that bankers must not be without their bonuses. So it was that George Osborne took time out to go to Brussels and lose 26-1 on the issue of new EU banker-bonus restrictions. Not a single UK paper bothered to point out that there would be no need for this anti-libertarian piece of Brussels bollocks were it not for the fact that banking greed is dysfunctional. Regulation is never necessary if people know how to behave.
Meanwhile, those on benefits in the UK will have them cut if they have a spare bedroom. This too is an astonishingly invasive piece of legislation, daring as it does to assume that those who fall on hard times must live only in tiny houses. They’d probably love to live in a smaller house with no mortgage, but how exactly will they achieve that in the current market? In spite of the hard times across Europe, the European Central Bank for example is constructing a new Frankfurt HQ. It looks like two fingers on the skyline: fancy that….so why are we staying in an EU that allows that sort of obscene gesture?
Furthermore, real people starting real families have found the cost of nursery places doubling over the last decade in Britain. This makes the prospect of women returning to work and being a valuable, independent part of the workforce increasingly difficult.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph yesterday, Allister Heath noted that George Osborne ‘focused on damaging tax hikes, reduced the wrong sorts of expenditure – mainly on infrastructure – and delayed the truly painful, politically tricky cuts to current spending. This was a disastrous error.’
The Chancellor lives in fear of two sets of power freaks who will never put Britain first: Whitehall and Town Hall bureaucrats; and bankers. He is too spineless to take either of them on. He and his Camerlot allies are therefore doomed. Source
