One of the worst things about having a Tory government (with Lib Dem frosting) is, inevitably, you're going to get somebody with the middle name Gideon. Ladies and gentlemen, the 11th advent window has yawned open to reveal...
... George Osborne.
What a dreadful man. Looking like a Victorian workhouse owner, Osborne was actually named Gideon Oliver Osborne. When he was 13, he changed his name to George as an "act of rebellion". That's just not normal.
Not yet 40, this man is in charge of the nation's beleaguered finances. Being heir apparent to the Osborne baronetcy and a direct descendent of Lady Clarisse Loxton Peacock, coupled with his personal fortune in excess of £4m, he obviously has the working classes at the forefront of his decisions.
The sight of him makes my skin crawl, and it's only going to get worse; the VAT increase to 20% from January is the tip of a very large right-wing iceberg.
Ugh.
Be back tomorrow for another reason this country's morally crippled.
