You’re right LS. In future I will restrict myself to calling him bum-nosed smug git.

Well, I would agree that James isn’t a twattish name.

But even if Gideon is, it’s illegitimate to use as a piss-take since Osborne doesn’t use it, and wasn’t responsible for it.

Now, if he were to name his son Gideon, that would be a different story.

Gideon. It’s karma come early. Inherited privilege with inherited liability.

What on earth makes you think I’m envious of the name “Gideon”? It’s the politics of twattery. James, if I do say so myself, isn’t a twattish name.

It is absurd to refer to “Gideon Osborne” but not “James Brown” – unless you’re going for the politics-of-envy that marked Labour’s oh-so-successful Crewe & Nantwich campaign…

Re: Gideon – you spent a lot of time covering his arse last week.

Re: LVT – it is absurd to praise Fred Harrison’s prophetic powers while disagreeing with his analysis.

Re: redesign. Fair enough.

Not sure about your redesign. Or land value taxation. Nor is Gideon my mate.

Never mind, carry on.
