Apparently US President Barack Obama mistakenly called George Osborne Jeffrey at the G8 summit.
Rather a strange mistake to make.
After all, Jeffrey Osborne is a well-loved successful R& B singer who has had an illustrious music career with five gold and platinum solo albums and a string of hits in the US and around the world while George Osborne is a failed double-dip chancellor whose only successful career was as a towel-folder in Selfridges.
Not that easy to get them mixed up, surely?

Tom you are factually wrong again, lazy journalism, last years GDP figures were revised upwards in May which meant there was no double dip recession.

The major difference is that Jeffrey Osborne is very talented. Gideon Osborne has no known talent.

And for those of you who don’t know Jeffrey Osborne – would you rather be listening to this gem or to one of Gideon’s interminable incorrect speeches?

Perhaps Gideon Osborne had been confused with that other British liar, Jeffrey Archer?
