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?

The big chopper in the silken sock.

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

The Daily Mail has now taken off the pic :(

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

looks like it’s been Photoshopped on.
What would this imply about the Daily Male
