  Phil Edwards says:
  To be fair, he actually only said 'strong' and 'confident' twice and 'secure' once - it's just that he answered every question by repeating his previous statement word for word. Perhaps that's a compensatory excess, but to be fair, he actually only said 'strong' and 'confident' twice and 'secure' once - it's just that he answered every question by repeating his previous statement word for word.

    There's an amusing neo-something columnist in the Grauniad who writes, 'An equally valid idea of a fair society may be one in which people are given the space and the right to strive for inequality: advantage achieved by their own efforts.'
    
    Fair enough, as it were, but if you're so clever how come you're not rich?

  Don't forget 'double dose'. Although after listening to George was almost afraid that perhaps the UK economy could overdose on good news.....apart from those 490,000 people in danger of losing their jobs very soon of course.

  That's absurd and wonderful. Three different questions and yet Osborne repeats the same thing over and over and over again. He's saying "Fuck you, bitch. Let me talk to my fans".
