Yesterday I watched the House of Commons live on the telly - yes, I know, very sad but these days my social life isn't up to much! Anyway, little Georgie Osborne from the Lower Fifth came in clutching his homework and prepared to defend himself against the bullies opposite, to say nothing of the thugs behind him! I was gob-smacked to see him cruise through the stormy seas, public school nose well in the air, superior smirk on his face as he bashed up the Labour party whilst apologising to his own party for the odd glitch or two or 4.5 billion depending on how you look at it before sitting down to raucous cheers.
But of course, he had one huge, elephantine factor on his side - the Labour party! Or to be precise, the Gordon Brown labour party of yesteryear. The likes of the terrorist-lovin' John MacDonnell can bleat for as long as he likes, the malignant pixie, Yvette Cooper, can jump up and down for as long as she likes but it availeth them nought because each and every time nasty little Georgie whacks them over the head with Gordon Brown's economic history which ranks, in British terms, somewhere near the retreat from Dunkirk! And of course, the abject, nay, downright embarrassing, condition of today's Labour party is only exquisitely amplified by the fact that under the Corbyn/MacDonnell polit-bureau it is the policies of Marx and Engels which are to the fore. Just think of it as Gordon Brown to the power of ten!
So the 'Boy George', followed by 'Dim Dave' at today's Prime Minister's questions, just cruised on by! I am, as you may have noticed, something of a Tory by inclination so why am I not entirely happy? The fact is that, not for the first time, George Osborne has dropped an enormous bollock in his budget. He should not be allowed to get away with it but for any severe correction to be administered it needs the services of an active and intelligent opposition. The Labour front bench are utterly and completely useless and are thereby doing our country a huge disservice.
When, oh when, are they going to rid us of 'Jezza' and his Leftie loons?
Duffers - luckily, according to SoD we have Junker the Drunker to save us from Corbyn - cue the insane maniacal laughter...

David, I note the media are using the unemployment issue in Belgium as a reason for mass murder. Any idea why non muslims do not blow themselves up when unemployed! They did not blow themselves up when they were unemployed in there former shitholes so why now.

Hillary Clinton's inane remarks about soft targets and terrorists only reinforces the fact that she is a naive, supercilious and an empty headed trollop. She will do to the US what Corbyn will do to the UK when he enters no 10 in 2020. Utterly destroy it economically and culturally.
If recent opinion polls and George and Dim Dave carry on the way they are it is quite possible that against the odds Corbyn will become PM. Especially as the UK economy is almost certain to take a dive soon due to global events. Not George's fault but he will get the blame all the same.

Well Anti, if it isn't Georgie's fault - whose is it? He is paid a lot of money and would get the credit if he was successful. So, he quite rightly gets the blame if he fails. At the moment he is busy failing.

BoE. Perhaps I should have said not all his fault but then a large part of the blame can be laid at the feet of that other BoE the Bank of England and other central banks. After all their Keynesian loose money and credit policies are bound to cause booms and busts ad infinitum. The magic money tree trick now you see it now you don't. The illusion of prosperity that then disappears in a puff of smoke as the curtain is pulled away.
