George Osborne forced to cancel photoshoot by furious disability cuts protest

[Denzil_DC]

Furious disability campaigners forced George Osborne to abandon a planned photoshoot with under fire Tory MP Zac Goldsmith today.

Placard-waving protesters screamed “blood on your hands” as the pair cut short the scheduled event after just two minutes at which Goldsmith hinted at a Government a U-turn.

...

Instead of the planned ‘walkabout’, the Millionaire MPs donned hard hats and hi-vis vests but hid from chanting protesters in a makeshift office in a metal container for two hours at Northumberland Park Station in Tottenham.

Tory aides then instructed Transport for London engineers to dig a hole for the photoshoot on industrial land out of shouting distance of the irate group.

...

Eventually Osborne and a sheepish-looking Zac Goldsmith dashed out of the container in to a Range Rover Discovery which drove them just 100 metres to the hole as protesters shouted “shame on you”.

Then less than two minutes later Osborne was whisked away past protesters in his blacked out Range Rover.

So many jokes, so little time.

1. "Tory aides then instructed Transport for London engineers to dig a hole for the photoshoot" WTF?

(a) They don't need anyone else to dig holes for them
(b) Aides get to tell real workers what to do, just for party PR? I hope that's investigated.

2. Millionaire Cabinet MPs are entitled,

apparantly.

3. Brilliant.

I hope he gets this everywhere he goes. The British public might be able to forgive screwing dead pigs, but not screwing the disabled.
