Campaign to remove George Osborne from the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer

Er, Tatton Landlord, what makes you think that David Cameron has any incentive to make his chancellor do another U turn?

From my experience of all politicians, they defend what's wrong until their blood is spilt.

The only way this Prime Minister will listen is if he, his family or his rich cronies are facing ruin.
He doesn't give a flying fig about you, me or anyone else in the UK.
He only cares about his miserable self and his image.
He will have been told that after being PM, that his life will begin as a World guru and speaker, just like Blair, Clinton and Major, where idiots will pay for his pearls of crap wisdom.

But Cameron and Osborne are cut from the same cloth! This is like some futuristic film where the elite are in control of the idiotic minions who diligently take everything their rulers throw at them and get on with life's struggle!

So let me get this straight, Cameron's father avoided tax, he died, no doubt Cameron was entitled to his inheritance, did Cameron avoid inheritance tax?

I think there are two factors which need to be considered as to why Cameron is not moving his Chancellor on. Firstly he doesn't intend to stand for another term so doesn't really care if his party isn't re-elected.

But the other is that he must be feeling increasing pressure from his own MPs to get rid of Osbo, yet he isn't acting. He still supports him far more than not caring whether the party is re-elected would allow. Why??? Has Osbo got something on DC? My own view is that he simply must have.

I don't think it's as cloak-and-dagger as that.

It's simply Bullingdon Club loyalty. They're both elitist, tax-avoiding and upper classed, so so far removed from 98% of the public that they serve (including LLs and tenants).

Their political agenda is to favour others in their social circle, and big business and financial institutions (it's all about the money), whilst being either deliberately or sub-consciously ignorant and uninfluenced by the affects on the rest of society i.e. almost everyone.

^ This coming from your stereotypical, Tory voter. Formerly. I'm genuinely horrified by them now. And I will not vote for them again.

We have the politicians of a banana republic that's going to host the Olympics.
Parliament has the morals of a smack riddled kiddie fiddling tramp hostel.
They will never prosecute themselves, they are above the law and they will now make their usual braying noises of derision, not because they care, but because they are simply play acting to the media.

Not a single MP in this country has the morals that you could depend upon, that's why this country is on its knees.

HMRC wont touch them, the Police wont touch them, MPs wont stand a chance at getting at any of them.
Even if Cameron & Osborne were in receipt of millions and you had their bank account statements, they still would come out un-battered.

You will get an 'Enquiry' like Chilcott's and at the end they and you will be long dead before its published.

You and I know that Cameron has hidden assets, so does Osborne, so do all the establishment figures. Didn't Cameron have a dig at Gary Barlow and Jimmy Carr a year or two ago?

What a bunch of bloody hypocritical thieves.

You may of course be right Rachel, but to my mind it's the Bullingdon link that suggests there could be something suspicious. I'm not talking about which parts of his anatomy that DC may place in whatever animal takes his fancy that week, I'm more thinking of the fact that they have so much history together.

So if one little boy decides to do something 'naughty' then he may involve his bad boy chum, because it's what they do. So, can anyone think of anything that our Downing St chaps might have been involved in together?

Of course it may not be illegal, just embarrassing.

There is so much history of Osbo screwing up that I find it hard not to believe that he has something significant on DC.

Just to clarify that I have no expectation whatsoever that Cameron will even read never mind act on my email but, having come to the conclusion that any representation to GO himself regarding the Tenant Tax would be hastily brushed aside, then who else is there to appeal to?
I agree that the two appear to be unnaturally joined at the hip and that Cameron will not want to lose his main ally in Cabinet. But perhaps shining a collective light on how destructive this Tenant Tax would be to Tory party support may plant a seed culminating in non-implementation. Already there is wording in the recent Budget papers that imply some relaxation of the rules - dare we hope that at some point (particularly in view of Cameron's current personal taxation issues) they quietly drop it - wouldn't that be nice?!!!

Hi Tatton Landlord. Very well written and my situation is very well covered!

I may have missed this , but have you booked an appointment to see GO as he is your MP. Once he sees the obscene results of his changes he surely could not justify such fundamentally wrong changes?

Happy to supply my net 84% tax bill example, and £12,000 tax on £0 profit example!!!!
