AIBU to be neither shocked or surprised at

[kickmewhenimdown]

this. Is Osborne really just pretending to be shocked? He must be, or he's really fucking naive and stupid. And am I being cynical in thinking that nothing significant will be done to stop this happening, and this is just Osborne trying to get our attention away from some of the real shocking cuts thats been made?

I read this like he was doing a Charlie Brooker voice while saying it.

My thoughts exactly Kickme when I heard it this morning - he/his advisor either thinks we are all stupid, or THEY are really stupid - hard one to call really, or is it?!

Well, I have heard on the radio that 'Dave' is happy to publish his own tax return...

I think it's less about being actually shocked and more about appearing to be so that he can try to look just as incensed as everyone else.

Unfortunately there are loads of people who will swallow it down like jack daniels.
