The subtitle of this article by George Osborne was “The shadow chancellor explains why the Conservatives are the true defenders of public servants”. The actual article and comments are located on this website (click here for the link). All of the comments were extremely damning.

They’re all worth-a-read by Osborne himself, especially that of Lorenzo who writes at 6 April 2010 10:58PM,

George Osborne – perhaps the least qualified man to run the economy. A man and a party who have called it wrong and changed their minds so many times it really would be impossible to trust a word they say.

But George, let’s start being a bit grown up and stop peddling that silly little tabloid headline of “Tax on Jobs” – I am sure Andy Coulson (a man of questionable values but no doubt good at conjuring up snappy tabloid headlines from his days at the nasty News of the World) loves you saying it but it really is meaningless. Bit like the scaremongering you lot and the business cronies did over minumum wage. Didn’t cost jobs did it George? And NI? Won’t cost jobs either, prices may go up a tiny tiny amount or god forbid shareholders don’t get all their free money…but come on George, you know it’s not really the detail you get wrong but the whole macro economics thing.

Must be a bit embarrassing to always be corrected by better educated, more knowledgeable and frankly more believable and likable people than yourself. Particularly when you want people to at least think you know what you’re doing. But you don’t. Not a clue. Time to be honest George maybe give politics and economics business a rest I hear Selfridges may be taking on staff…
