GEORGE Osborne gets on a train, knowing he hasn’t got a first class ticket, but he sits in the first class anyway because he doesn’t want to sit with the likes of us. Most of the people he doesn’t want to sit next to are hard-working people whose tax goes towards paying his mega-bucks salary. Get off your high horse, Osborne, and start living in the real world. The only difference between us is that he was born into money – so he doesn’t really know about hardship.
If he spent a couple of months living as we do, perhaps he could go back to his job and be a better politician than he is now. The last thing we want is to be ruled by a load of snobs who don’t comprehend life in the real world.
