George Osborne at 38, is the youngest Chancellor of the Exchequer for 125 years. Not bad for a graduate who wanted to be a journalist, but having failed to secure a job with a national newspaper found a job at Conservative Central Office and the rest is history.
George Gideon Oliver Osborne has been the Member of Parliament for Tatton since 2001 and holds a degree at Oxford University, where he received an upper second-class degree in modern history. I’m sure a degree in modern history puts him in the perfect position to run the British economy!!!
What a choice for a chancellor at a time when we need a strong chancellor of the exchequer we get David Cameron’s University mate George Osborne!
Vince Cable would make a much better choice for chancellor, Oh Boy!!!
Camerons first mistake, making Osborne chancellor, with intelligent people like Ken Clarke and Vince Cable to pick from Osborne looks like the office junior tea boy, how much respect are the worlds finance ministers going to give him
Ian,
You are beginning to sound like Nigel Farage.
Are you a member of UKIP?
No Jimbo i’m not UKIP, i am a betrayed Lib Dem voter, i think there are 5 cabinet posts who’s salary will be paid in pieces of silver.
Ian,
Oh I see.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Why not give these guys a bit of time, after all this is the risk with hung parliaments.
Give politicians enough closed doors, anyone can do a coalition!
Jimbo,
We have no choice but to see what happens as we are where we are, what we should have is a Conservative minority government and if the other parties were serious about putting the national intrests first work with that, if it fails so be it and we try again.
What we have now is two parties that have ripped up their manifesto’s and drawn up a new one which no member of the public has voted for.
We are going to have a fixed parliament because they are both petrified of a split. There are another round of boundry changes designed to favour whoever is in power. This is not democracy, parties should stick to their manifesto’s, we vote, they get their chance, if it works fine, if not we throw them out.
Nobody voted for a coalition, i never saw a box for that on the ballot paper.

I am sure Chancellor Osborne,could have had a job at the newspapers as a Paper-boy, i wish he would stop sitting in the house of commons with that automatic nod when his master is on , and oh yes why is he not with the rest of them working out how we are going to get out of this financial mess.
Like it or not you bet your little nodding head we are tied in with Europe your budget was written for you all you have to do is try and use your brain? some time looking at you on TV the vacant look on your face is worse than Nick Clegg.

Let’s hope that this fellow, George Osborne, knows his Economics or he will be in his office for a very short period!
Osbourne is the real Blackadder!
He is the authenic Blackadder
Yes indeed this man is no less than 100% Blackadder!
