George Osborne heroically presents medals at Paralympics

There was an interesting reaction as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rt Hon George Gideon Oliver Osborne MP, was introduced to the crowd at the Olympic Stadium last night, before presenting medals at the 400m T38 victory ceremony.



I can't think why.

Shame it wasn't Chris Grayling or Iain Duncan Smith, though. That really would have been rubbing salt into the wounds. And the Conservative party are fond of that.

Why did they boo him and why did he smile?

They booed him because he is part of an odious British government overseeing the greatest cuts and discrimination to disabled and disadvantaged people in living history.

He smiled because he's a posh boy idiot from a highly privileged background who has no soul.

Or maybe it was wind ...

Nobody booed Hitler at the 1936 Olympics. What does that say about George Osborne?

Now got the homeopathic, anti-abortion, anti stem-cell Jeremy Hunt taking care of the nation's health (having previously been responsible for broadband) El Reg commented: "Forget broadband speed, just try not to kill them".

At least the Nazis were honest about what they were trying to achieve.

This government makes me SO angry!

And every day they come up with an even nastier plan to pick on the poor and disadvantaged.

Absolute bastards, the lot of them.
