For those considering voting tory

Sep 21, 2008, 03:04

When asked about the current financial crisis and the rumours that the UK government are planning to increase regulation of the financial system, the Tory Shadow Chancellor (for overseas folks who may not know, that's the conservative economic spokesman) made this remarkable statement...

George Osborne wrote:

No one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others but that is a function of capitalist markets.

I accept he's being refreshingly honest. But for a man who inherited a small fortune (and who will one day be known as "Baron Osborne") to publicly acknowledge that fact and yet still remain a vocal advocate of "capitalist markets" displays a kind of callousness that in a sane world would automatically disqualify him from public life.

This is not a sane world.
