George Osborne is Mr Bumble AND Billy Liar


Singing the Tory traditional tune of Bash the Jobless to deflect criticism of his own economic failures is scapegoat politics

 
George Osborne started the day as Mr Bumble and finished as Billy Liar.

In the morning he echoed Oliver Twist’s workhouse beadle, accusing the undeserving of wanting “something for nothing” and demanding they toil for gruel.

Shameless Osborne either lacks self-awareness or this wealthy Conservative, born with an entire silver dinner service in his mouth, has undergone an irony bypass.

Because he’s a posh poster boy for the very “something for nothing” culture he claims to detest, in time a baronetcy will come his undeserving way.

Sensitive soul, Sir George. He likes to dish it out but doesn’t like to take it back.

A Tory spin doctor insisted it was unfair to portray him as calculating and heartless. Double tough.

Singing the Tory traditional tune of Bash the Jobless to deflect criticism of his own economic failures is scapegoat politics.

Just when I thought Osborne couldn’t get any worse, he changed to Billy Liar.

The Treasury fantasist thinks he’s engineered an economic miracle.

I don’t know what they smoke his end of White-hall but it’s left him delusional. History’s slowest recovery a sensational achievement?

Did he forget he was down-graded after running out of credit, stripped of a Triple-A stamp?

If plummeting living standards are success hallmarks, I shudder to wonder what he’d call failure.
Behind the security fences here, champagne corks are popping.

Braying Tories party as if austerity is over for them as Osborne prepares 10 more years of misery for everybody else.

Deceitful Sir George is reviving the Con in Conservative.
