Please dismiss George osbourns car being photographed parked in a disabled bay ty xxx

(PsychoChomp, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 9:37, Reply)

what, because we somehow needed more evidence he's an awful cunt?
Anyway, his cuntiness is a mere sideline. It's the fact he's chancellor and wouldn't recognise economics if it bent him over a table and fucked him up the arse that's the issue.

it's not like disabled people ever use those bays in the first instance, stop riding him like a horse

I'm not, I don't care where he parks. It's irrelevant to his ability to do his job.
His total inability to do his job is, however, relevant to his ability to do his job.

your beef is wiv the treasury then innit, George is only their mindless marionette

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 9:46, Reply)

not at all.
The opposite. Most chancellors, even those economically qualified and skilled, take their advice from the Treasury. Osborne refuses to on a number of key issues because "he and the conservative party know better"

So not only can he, economically, not find his arse with both hands, but he refuses to take advice from the people who are specifically employed and ideally skilled to offer him an arse-map and some hand sat-navs.

It's a big part of the reason my missus chose to leave the treasu.... but I'm not supposed to talk about that

well yer, there has to be some 'steerage' on where they're going. But if George wholesale refused to follow their lead there'd bee a lot more leaks on what a fucking prick he is

How many leaks do you need?

Essentially the treasury have to do what they are told
so, Osborne and his team say what they want. The treasury tell them it's idiotic. They ask for it anyway, and the treasury have to work out a way to do it.

Most chancellors defer to the treasury on most things, except key pre-election promises, but obviously the treasury are geared up for that, as in the run-up to elections they work out how the key policies of all the parties would work, just in case they get elected.

Osborne defers on very little, but the treasury's hands are essentially tied. Ultimate decision rests with the chancellor, which is why having a chancellor who is both an economic idiot and unspeakably arrogant is a really, really, fucking bad idea. The fact he's Tory is really neither here nor there, this is apolitical. It's the fact he's George Osborne that is the major problem.

yeah, but he runs a very successful family business. he's got a proven track record, he's not just a career prick in the treasury

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 10:03, Reply)

yeah but he's just saved us from a triple dip recession so it's all good yeah?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 9:54, Reply)

would you rather someone gave up at the first sign of trouble?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 10:01, Reply)

I'd prefer him to think further than the next election
but no politician ever does that, or what's in the country's best interests.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 10:05, Reply)

To be fair, he doesn't massage the figures so much as ignores them.
The figures are produced independently.

Yeah you're like Atos with your assessment of their disabilities though, right?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 5 Apr 2013, 9:50, Reply)

I'm not really expecting them to roll out of the car and crawl up the road using ropes and crampons.
But it's not that difficult to qualify for a council blue badge, especially with the majority of people on the sick not really qualifying in any real sense. Aaah my back, being a good entry point.
Most of the badges are also used by family members with the qualifying person not being in attendance.
This is just personal experience mind, from the bays that I've had to pay for.

He wasn't driving though so not really his fault is it?

Maybe he was a little tired and meant to park 20 miles away.
