Who saw George Osbourne being booed at the paralympics last night when his name was announced to give out medals? That was a bit of a poor choice when they they are cutting benefits for disabled people left, right and centre. Joyous moment!

    He's very good at avoiding the negative press, usually choosing others to do his dirty work (remember Chloe and Paxo?) so it won't have done him any harm but I for one did not find it pleasant viewing. The benefits bill overall is at a ridiculously high level, things do need to be addressed and better assessment methods brought in, but oddly enough the paralympics may be something that is actually working against the disabled. I doubt that any of us could do what these people are doing but who's going to believe that? DD

    The chinless tw@ always reminds me of Flashman from Tom brown school days.
