...More in the saga of George Osborne being a wab.

Shocked, I tell you, shocked!!

 
Oi, Georgie - fuck off.

Seriously - is he having some sort of belated April Fools day joke with us, or does he seriously expect us to believe that he's shocked that many, many, many rich people do their utmost to avoid tax? Are we honestly expected to believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is so fucking thick that he hasn't realised that his fellow rich bastarding cronies use every loophole under the sun to avoid having to pay taxes? And is he asking us to believe that he's just figured this out now, that it's just come to his attention? And does he really think that we're so thick that this is going to move attention away from the fact that he's just given these very same people a tax cut, while making the cost of living ever more impossible for people at the other end of the income scale?

I'm afraid I don't have any sort of reasoned argument or debate here - as ever I'm simply too fucking fuming to be able to come up with anything coherent or informed enough. I am just absolutely sick to death of this government trying to tell us that we're all in it together, when they continue to take actions that make life more difficult for those on lower incomes, while the people at the top of the pay scale are barely touched.

What an absolutely, groin-grabbingly, evil git.

He makes Darth Vader look reasoned and civilised.
