George Osborne has today said "I grew up in the 1930s with an unemployed father. He did not riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he went on looking until he found it.".

Speaking at Alton Towers George Osborne’s comments come in a week that has seen hoody-wearing layabouts involved in squatting houses left empty by families on holiday on an ever more frequent basis.

George Osborne’s comments are both brave and perceptive. In a country where children as young as five are regularly exposed to hoody-wearing layabouts it is about time that someone had the guts to stand up and tell the truth. Hoody-wearing layabouts and the liberal communist atheist society that spawns them must be eliminated.
