"We are working flat-out, using every tool available to us. We are not standing on the sidelines."

It was a sunny, funny day… 276th day of the year and the 2nd of the Conservative Party Conference. The most important part of it was the George Osborne’s speech. He admitted that difficult days will for the economy will come and presented a plan to avoid the second credit crunch.

“Under the novel "credit easing" plan, the Treasury will buy company bonds in an attempt to cut the cost of credit for struggling firms and boost the supply of credit.”

“George Osborne spoke in the morning, and received a standing ovation so perfunctory as to be offensive. The audience, which had heard him with listless courtesy, managed to combine standing with the more urgent process of heading for lunch.”

“Then there's the voice. It's too high and squeaky. Close your eyes and he sounds like Ann Widdecombe. There's the samizdat BBC tape of Margaret Thatcher being taught to lower her voice, and if she can do it, so can George. But it's not just him. Even Eric Pickles, normally a conference star, not least because people mistakenly assume that anyone fat must also be jolly, flopped like blancmange on a barbecue.”

That’s what I think,
