A friend of mine and I were facebook discussing the George Monbiot Guardian article yesterday about proposed changes in corporate taxation. We wondered whether this was conspiracy or cock-up, It was difficult to tell from the description whether it's a cunning New World Order plan to screw us all, or whether it's just thickie Osborne, who has such a rudimentary grasp of economics that he can't work out what the big multinationals will do with this liberal tax regime. This elicited the following, Brookeresque, response from my friend:

I think he exists in a state of quantum superposition, being both a tremendous shitwallet and a monumental retard at the same time, depending on how you choose to measure him. (In keeping with the theme, the best way to determine his current state would be to stick him in a box with something highly radioactive... and fucking leave him there.)"

This prompted him to give the best description of George Osborne I have yet encountered: Schrödinger's Twat

I'm not expecting a long and involved political debate, I just wanted to share something I found funny. That is all.
