The headline was the vile bit for me,but osbourne could have publicly argued his corner by now after reading that headline...if that was you or I and the papers had done that when that wasnt what you meant or said or believed then you would want the record straight and not rest until it was..

He hasn't said boo so we can only make the assumption (backed by other comments from his political party) that they want an end to welfare by any means possible for the poor and that is exactly what he thinks all poorer are like...ie greedy criminals that would stop at nothing for self gain...ehem  ,well being a british politician himself he would understand how some have that mentality wouldn't he. (glad harriet said something more like what a normal person would say even though I'm not a fan of hers either)

Which unfortunately is saying the same as phillpot is a product of thatcherism ( blair included)...a greedy criminal. 

I don't disagree that it's all about self gain the twisting and turning and lying and promising one section vs another the papers and their political backers. The main word Im seeing now due to a well regarded tory ex leaders death is 'DIVIDED' it is about time for the word of the day became 'UNITED' again,that was my hope when cameron got in power,sadly dashed now.
