George Osborne is a secret Trotskyist ?

Another chilly run along the saturated loch-side, in between the showers of sleet.
Talking of showers of sleet, two days ago George Osborne, denizen of the British aristocracy, heir to a wallpaper fortune, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and senior prefect to young David Cameron (ref), made his Autumn Statement about the UK’s financial position. According to the Institute of Fiscal Studies, this statement can be summarised as: the poor will become poorer and the rich richer whilst Osborne is at the wheel (ref). Finding something positive in such a scenario is quite a challenge but, if he outrages enough people, maybe he will single-handedly revive Socialism as a political force in the UK. On reflection, maybe he is really an agent provocateur planted by left-wing extremists to discredit the Conservatives. Don’t tell anyone – we don’t want to blow his cover.
