Times Push Polling to Push Osborne Out

A Guido co-conspirator who is a Conservative District Councillor has just been contacted by the Times about whether they think that Osborne should “go”. The Times hack said they were phoning round the Tory ‘grass roots’. The journalist then said that

Most of the Conservatives I have spoken to have said that Osborne should leave by the weekend. What do you think?’

Nothing leading in that line of questioning at all.

UPDATE : The manufactured headline as required Tory grassroots: ‘George Osborne should resign’.

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
