George Osborne

July 2013

Osborne gets it.

Why does Dev struggle with the concept?

    Some things are worth repeating.

    Unlike your endless threads claiming HTB is creating a bubble - that's just nonsense.

    Something getting under your skin?

    Feeling the need to spam in order to overcome the arguments? Scraping around for stuff to back up your view and posting them twice now?

    Or just lost the plot?

    Is this an artificial post? ;)

    the arguments?

    Didn't realise there still was one.

    Even the Chancellor accepts what you've been arguing against for years.

    Really, the chancellor? Blimey, must mean something then if the chancellor accepts it.

    Though hang on...this is how YOU have previously described the chancellor....

    It is however deeply tragic that the same party that gave us Thatcher can now only come up with the Cameron/Osbourne comedy act.

    So the comedy act accepts the theory?

    Well that's me convinced.

    Indeed.

    H, this level of repetition, this level of agenda pushing, it's the kind of thing that causes forums to die out, causes people to leave them, because, well, there's just no answer to it.

    Had a few days off and the amount of repetitious wall to wall garbage, of this type, does turn you off.
