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.
