Errol Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hilarious. Financially inept cretin as the new Editor. Are they on drugs or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient London FTB Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 1st thought: WTF? Bonkers. Zero experience. Conflicts of interest.

“Nasty Piece of work” Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I am grateful for the further confirmation that this fool will cease pretending to be an MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North London Rent Girl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yes, agree, it is Orwellian but that is where we have been for a while, surely. Wasn't all that surprised. Right-wing horrors, non-illegal conflict of interest. And GO did love to cook up a property bubble to 'make everyone feel good' - he's found another capacity in which to keep that laudable pursuit up.

I'll leave this one as is. It sounds like Osborne could have a discrimination case against the Economist - for not using his Jewish name (for whatever reason) - something that seemed to irk his interviewer.

I'll leave this one as is. Being Editor of the Evening Standard probably requires the attention span of a newt. And will involve about 2 hours work per week, mostly likely. Of course he's qualified.
