I have seen Osborne's 'Commons performances on occasion and thought him very capable. I have seen also bad tv performances akin to that, it seems, done with Marr. Who knows, other than Dave and a few others.Cardinal Richelieu's molehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355424371874064362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-55818598194880273772010-02-28T13:37:12.546+00:002010-02-28T13:37:12.546+00:00I think you guys are pouring it on a bit thick to ...I think you guys are pouring it on a bit thick to the point of exaggeration.<br /><br />-SimonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-57250031888209547042010-02-28T13:09:40.022+00:002010-02-28T13:09:40.022+00:00It has been clear for many years that he is simply...It has been clear for many years that he is simply not intellectually up to the job of Chancellor.

He is too trite and sounds completely out of touch with both the world and his subject.
