George Osborn

Pembroke, History

George Osborne is the Chancellor of the Exchequer who has taken to cutting public expenditure like an axe murderer takes to a shopping centre full of people.

His likes include kittens, buttercups and the “disappointing dad” sketch from the television show Monkey Dust.
