It is not often that I agree with Nadine Dorries. But any other journalist who called for the Prime Minister, or anyone else, to be "chopped up in bags in my freezer" would be out of a job, and certainly would not get a pass to the governing party's conference. Politically, how influential is the Evening Standard, anyway? London voted very heavily Labour this year.
Osborne's unpleasant tendencies, which he has manifested more than once before, are like Jacob Rees-Mogg's "eccentricities". In poorer or less posh people, they would be, and they are, recognised as signs of mental illness. Even if they would not always be treated properly as such. The streets are the beds of people who dream that they could afford to be as "eccentric" as Jacob Rees-Mogg. While the secure units house those who dream that they could edit the Evening Standard while calling for the Prime Minister to be "chopped up in bags in my freezer".
