[Gromit]

Kid: What's 7 x 8 ?

George: I made it a rule not to answer that question.

Difficult one to call who won that debate :-)

With Ed Balls it would be negative 2000, so as to allow for his overspend.

DTCwordfan did you read Gromits Post? The seven year old was asking,
GEORGE BALLS The Question , not ED.

[jim360]

George Balls?

[ChillDoubt]

I turned off shortly after, when the girl asked him about shouting in Parliament.
It was the most condescending answer I'd ever heard from an adult, let alone an MP.

[Farriercm]

Yes Jim George Balls.

[DTCwordfan]

? I think a question of trying too hard there, Farrier!

[Farriercm]

Do you mean that Osborne was trying too hard to work out what 7x8 is DTC.?

[Kromovaracun]

God this man is a slimeball. How does anyone take him seriously?

[naomi24]

Farrier, who's George Balls?

[Farriercm]

Naomi24 He is the Chancellor you voted in to Power ,He is the man that does not know what 7x8 is .? That is Who George Balls is.

[DTCwordfan]

[askyourgran]

George Osborne is not at all like Ed Balls, George is a descendent of Edward the turd. Whereas Ed's father was a zoologist .......
