Daily Mail has fun with George Osborne


by Sunny Hundal    

Are Daily Mail journalists getting a bit annoyed with our Chancellor?

Perhaps it’s just the picture desk.

Here’s a picture yesterday of Osborne from one Daily Mail article. (which hasn’t been corrected yet).

That’s not an optical illusion is it?

Hat-tip James Bloodworth

The only thing I can think of that this could possibly be is the shiny lining on the inside of Boy George’s suit jacket, which has been caught at a funny angle.

But I prefer the giant blue schlong theory…

2. James Bloodworth

A real right-honourable member!

3. Mr S. Pill

Brings a vast new meaning to the phrase “blue-blooded”…

4. Ben P

Is that why his parent gave him the name ‘Destroyer (Gideon)’?

5. J

I love the “Enlarge +” icon in the bottom-right…

(@2 winning the pun contest, for me!)

6. James

This is an ideal entry for accidentalpenis.com/

(NSFW, obviously)

7. Philip

The big chopper in the silken sock.

8. Schmidt

The biggest dick in the Tory party. Its obviously still blue from bruising after those sessions with the £350 per hour dominatrix

9. Sunny Hundal

The Daily Mail has now taken off the pic :(

10. Gwyn

With suits that cheap, we really could all be in this together.
