The boy done good!

I watched the Pre-budget election giveaway clusterfuck in Parliament today, and I was pleased to see Ozzie putting the boot in. Guido did the whole thing on CoverIt as usual, and Dolly Draper joined in ... and took his smacks like a man.

The one thing that Dolly kept on banging on about was the paucity of Osborne's alternatives. I don't think that's a valid charge for Labour to make, because every time the Tories come up with something, Labour rubbish it, wait a couple of weeks and then nick it.

I think Ozzie did exactly the right thing: stuck the boot in and kept his policy powder dry*. Labour gets nothing to nick and they've had to show their cards. And fuck me, what a piss fucking poor hand it was. Lots of sticking oars into places, sleight of hand increases in petrol prices, more National Insurance and a ludicrous 2.5% drop in VAT that will achieve the square root of fuck all.

This was another complete con by Gorgon and the Bearded Twat.

*Assuming he has any, of course!
