Revenge...
Lord Machivelli's tongue has managed to land George Osborne in
all sorts of trouble today
. However as things stand this is more a warning shot than anything more damaging. Osborne has taken the press
head on and in doing so openly declared war, this could well end up in the courts. However Mandelson hasn't exactly been subtle about this one - going around swearing revenge and then a week later creating this storm doesn't exactly create much of a cover. The intriguing part of this little episode is Nat Rothchild's role - why would Osborne's old friend and fellow Bullingdon boy turn on him like this?The poison Mandelson drips must be highly potent stuff...
Either that or he has some very powerful friends...

TB, how about removing Boris Johnson's picture from the site now that he has decided to publically back Barrack Obama and even wrote an editorial to that effect to the Telegraph (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/10/21/do2101.xml). I've always liked BoJo to a large extent but this has made me lose respect for the man to say the least. It is hardly his place to comment in the first place, but to back a socialist who consistently plays the race card? Is this the new face of the Tory Party? No thanks.
Osborne's fault. He should have respected Rothschild's desire for privacy.
As a libertarian you should support the right to privacy over tactical political advantage, no?
