Doubtless most of our "regulars" - as well as the not so frequent contributors to this site - will have at least noticed an old thread of mine entitled, Osborne & Little. But whether or not anyone bothered to is another matter... because, sadly, it received only one reply ... in spite of the fact that it revealed some home truths about the man destined to inherit his aristocratic father's vast wealth.

So ... it's no real surprise that he's issued such a warning - since it is hardly likely to be in his long term interests to state otherwise!
I see. So he has a disincentive to raise taxes in the way Clegg has requested....
