Friends and family have rallied to the defence of George Osborne after he was described in the media as “the most hated man in Britain”.
The Chancellor, far from being a monster who doesn’t understand how ordinary people live, “loves his mum”, is “kind to animals” and “keeps himself to himself”, according to his supporters.
At an extraordinary press conference yesterday one of Mr Osborne’s oldest friends, who gave his name simply as Tony the barber, described how passionately the Chancellor felt about helping the poor.
“Gordon Brown was full of talk about eliminating poverty but I’ve heard George speaking on that subject with 10 times more passion. Anyone who has heard him screaming and shouting about exterminating the poor will know that he is a man of action. The other customers in my shop were moved to tears by his performance,” said Tony.
“I am proud that I was able to help him in my own small way by changing his hairstyle so that he looked a little less like Hitler.”
Mr Osborne’s old friend from the Bullingdon Club, Colonel Hemlock, said he had only joined the elite Oxford students’ club because of its charity work. “He was never one of those people who threw bread rolls around in expensive restaurants,” said Colonel Hemlock. “Far from it. In fact he had the waiter, who had allowed the situation to deteriorate, beaten up.”
The colonel added: “I well remember George’s charity work with the club. They would throw coins out the window to beggars. George was worried that the beggars’ hands were cold, so he would heat the coins up with a cigarette lighter first. How heartening it was to see them juggling with the money.”
Mr Osborne’s mother, Lady Felicity, said he had always been a caring boy who felt great concern for the poor. She described how, as a toddler, he would divide his sister’s dolls up into rich or poor. “I’m not sure what he did with the poor dolls, but I know that he was only trying to help.
“He loved animals and woe betide any servant who was cruel to one of George’s dobermans.”
Mr Osborne’s vicar, the Rev Gary Smythe, told journalists how the Chancellor had stepped in to help the church’s roof appeal some years ago. “George said the money we had raised should be invested, and he took it so that it could be put to work. George assures me that it is close to meeting its target.”
Mr Osborne’s former neighbour, Sir Percival Green, said the Chancellor was a quiet man who kept himself to himself.
Last night, a spokesman for Mr Osborne denied that the Chancellor loved animals.
