Have you seen the Real George Osborne?

by

A few weeks ago World Development Movement launched The Real George Osborne, a 14-part YouTube comedy series and online action calling for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to ‘do the right thing’ with regard to regulation of food speculation going through the European Union over the next few months.

Have a watch of the first episode below, and you can follow the series and George’s blog on therealgeorgeosborne.com. To find out what it’s all about check out this post on the WDM website which will explain all.
