(It’s not satire – it’s George Osborne!)
I’m a little bit of a polling geek. I love opinion polls, and not just political ones.
So I’ve just noticed that in a survey this week a mere 15% of UK people think George Osborne is doing a good job as chancellor.
Which coincidentally, is exactly the same % of us who believe in fortune telling.
Interestingly, around the same % of UK citizens believe the US government and not Al Qaeda was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
And even more interestingly, slightly more people (17%) believe in the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.
Which means more of us believe dinosaurs are still residing in a Scottish lake than in George Osborne’s ability to run our economy.

Oh yes – may be some of those 15% misread the question.

I think the numbers of Americans who have ‘experienced’ abduction by aliens is of the same order of magnitude.. and they have a greater happiness quotient than those of us who have not. Wonder which camp Osborne falls into…?

There is still a Tory party in Scotland.

Oh yes – some dinosaurs still exist in Scotland. Not as many as pandas though.

Has George Osbourne been abducted by aliens and replaced by a clone?
If he had, how might one tell the difference?

But the pandas are not breeding.

Or perhaps he has always been an alien?

Aha – so the Tories are hoping to increase the numbers of their supporters in Scotland by breeding more? A very fiendish plan.

Yes. They hope to add diversity to their gene pool by mating with Nessie.

Blimey! Perhaps the explanation for this government is inter-planetary colonialism. We may currently feature in the business sector of the Mercury Guardian as the Earth India Company, the focus for all Venutian capitalists.
