[VIDEO] George Osbourne being questioned

[Patrick Torsney]

We don't have the exact date for this but it was around November last year (2010). It's a very interesting video, not least for George Osbourne's responses to the questions

Esper: Is this a dose of double mental torture you are putting us through, first the Cameron - then the Osborne video?? !!

It just doesn't quite sound right does it, our benefit busting chancellor George Osborne on Benefits does it?

I note how they failed to raise the quirk in child benefit reform where it's only a single income over the threshold which cuts off your entitlement, we all know how it's because they recognize they really need to means test it, but can't because outdated HMRC software would never handle it. This will be the first of many failures in 'simplification' of the benefits system because they just don't get how difficult it will be to reform a system on a shoestring budget.

But the biggest laugh has to come from when he doesn't know where to put himself over the debt figures when compared against other countries! Each time you listen to these millionaires it just becomes more and more apparent that it's an attack on the less well off; their greatest crime being that they are reliant on state support.

Why isn't this one to one attack on the news? Let's see more of Osborne answering without the backing of all those who stand by his side and behind him in the House of Commons chamber!
