George Osborne hits a new low for scaremongering over Brexit.

George Osborne has been making friends and influencing people again with his austerity ridden threatened budget to do a scorched earth policy on the British economy and people if we dare to vote for a Brexit. thus is a new low in his campaigning style. The Telegraph covered it here:

I think Osborne should resign over his campaigning, which is like that of a perverse schoolmaster who is keen to give all his pupils a good spanking for defying his will, rather like this great sketch from Not The Nine O'Clock News with Rowan Atkinson and Griff Rhys Jones:

Here is another one with Rowan Atkinson and Angus Deayton:


I wonder if this will shift the opinion polls and if Cameron will eventually sack Osborne, regardless of the result of the referendum.

Although the momentum in the opinion polls is heading towards Leave, I am not yet convinced that Leave will win. Voters seem to tend to chicken out at the last minute and vote for the status quo. This happened in the Scottish referendum in 2014 and also in the 1992 British General Election which propelled the disastrous John Major government back into power for another 5 years of sleaze, combined with their policies of predatory capitalism and the farcical attempt to tie the British Pound to the other European Currencies in the Exchange Rate Mechanism, which arguably was the main cause of the dreadful recession, housing market crash and 3+ million unemployment in the 1992-93 time-frame. Voting for the status quo is not always safe!
