How can you say the poor is being 'screwed'? No conservative government has ever screwed people who work hard, it's those that cba that get 'screwed'. Why should be mind that, if you are lazy why whould anyone bother helping you.

George Gideon Oliver Osborne (born 23 May 1971) is a Conservative Party politician in the United Kingdom, and has been the Member of Parliament for Tatton since 2001. He is currently Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He is heir to the Osborne baronetcy (of Ballentaylor in the County of Tipperary).[1] This makes him a part of what is known in Ireland as the Ascendancy, the old Anglo-Irish aristocracy.[2]

Early life

Osborne is the eldest son of four children and heir of Sir Peter Osborne, 17th Baronet, co-founder of the fabric and wallpapers designers, Osborne & Little.[3][4]
Originally named Gideon, he changed his name to George when he was 13. In an interview in July 2005, Osborne said: "It was my small act of rebellion. I never liked it. When I finally told my mother she said, 'Nor do I'. So I decided to be George after my grandfather, who was a war hero. Life was easier as a George; it was a straightforward name."[5]

Education

Osborne was educated at the private Norland Place School in Holland Park, St Paul's School, London[6] and Magdalen College at Oxford University, where he received an upper second-class degree in Modern History.[4] At Oxford he edited the university's Isis magazine.[7]
Whilst at Oxford, Osborne was a member of the Bullingdon Club, a private dining club of Oxford University students; it was "infamous for riotous behaviour" and was open only to sons of aristocratic families and the wealthy. Osborne's friends David Cameron and Nat Rothschild were also members of the club. The Conservative Party have sought to distance themselves from the club as it was considered to be damaging to the new party image.[7]
Osborne's first job was to provide data entry services to the National Health Service to record the names of people who had died in London.[8] He also briefly worked for Selfridges. He originally intended to pursue a career as a journalist, but after missing out on a position at a national newspaper, was informed of a vacant job at the Conservative Central Office.[8]
