But why would he care if he fucks things up?
He's a fucking millionaire anyway, there is no possibility he won't end up as a highly paid director on the board of a lot of multinationals once he's finished as a front bench MP. He cannot possibly lose regardless of the outcome and so there is absolutely no incentive for him to even try and understand what's actually going on in the real world.

true.
But I still think someone should slap him.

Although I'm hopeful about him not ending up as a director, I'm pretty sure even the city understands how little the man knows about anything.

Well, he'll do speaking tours then
in some form, his future as a vastly wealthy individual is assured.

In a world in which people followed common sense, you'd hope so...
But then if Tony Blair can somehow be perversely appointed as a peace envoy to the Middle East, George Osborne's probably in with a fairly safe bet for a directorship. The cunt.

Tony Blair has some unpleasant characteristics
but the bloke is at least pretty bright. Unlike Old Georgie.
