Cronyism is bad for Britain -
A few questions for George Osborne
Dear Mr Osborne
You say that you have won the economic argument.
Many strongly disagree. Democracy leads to prosperity and freedom - and the EU is increasingly undemocratic, with awful results in Greece, Spain and Portugal and 15 years' stagnation in Italy.
Our European friends are being dragged down by Brussels' bureaucracy.
I think that you are relying too much on cronies, whose organisations did not predict the last downturn and who don't realise what they don't know.
Please see our questions on the other side...
Vote 'Leave' - take back control
(opposite side)
You rely on the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), HM Treasury and the Bank of England to support the 'Remain' case, yet:
1. you oficially nominated your friend (in January), Christine Lagarde, as the head of the IMF.
2. the OECD is funded by the EU, and you are a friend of it's head - Jose Angel Gurria.
3. you, George Osborne, are the boss of the HM Treasury
4. you employed Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England.
Does the nation not deserve more independent advice?
Yours sincerely
Tim Martin
