Tory boy George Osborne ticks most of the boxes on a sociopath test.

Update: 02/04/2013 15:36


When asked if he could live on £53 George Osborne replied

"I don’t think it's sensible to reduce this to a debate about one individual's personal circumstances. This debate is not about any individual."


The inability to recognise or care about individuals is just another example of sociopathic behaviour.

Having studied George Osborne for quite a while now i have come to the conclusion that he is a stone cold Sociopath. I have put together a list of sociopathic traits as you will see George Osborne ticks the vast majority of them

 


1. GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM -- the tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming, slick, and verbally facile. Sociopathic charm is not in the least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A sociopath never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.

It is now obvious that Geroge Osborne has this on down completley he can a will say anything on camera that he thinks could benefit him.

2. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH -- a grossly inflated view of one's abilities and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart. Sociopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human beings.

Does this need to be said George Osborne has utter contempt for anyone who isn't George Osborne

3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM -- an excessive need for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and doing things that are risky. Sociopaths often have low self-discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or routine.

This one is hard to say either way so he gets the benefit of the doubt on this.

4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING -- can be moderate or high; in moderate form, they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous, manipulative, and dishonest.

Has he ever said anything that is actually true?

5. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and suffering of one's victims.

He is a dark master of conning and manipulation makes peter Mandelson look like a saint.

6. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT -- a lack of feelings or concern for the losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned, dispassionate, coldhearted, and un empathic. This item is usually demonstrated by a disdain for one's victims.

Yes George Osborne Lacks remorse or guilt for his deception and lying.

7. SHALLOW AFFECT -- emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open gregariousness.

Again very much in evidenceat all times.

8. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY -- a lack of feelings toward people in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.

A massive tick for this one.

9. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE -- an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete responsibilities.

A career politician there are few lifestyles more parasitic.

10. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS -- expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.

As exampled by his complaints of "shrill" opposition to his failed and sadistic policies.

11. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR -- a variety of brief, superficial relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.

Unkown

12. EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS -- a variety of behaviors prior to age 13, including lying, theft, cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running away from home.

Changed his name from Gideon to George and dismissed it as a minor rebellion against his parents. Also a member of the bullingdon club.

13. LACK OF REALISTIC, LONG-TERM GOALS -- an inability or persistent failure to develop and execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.

Just one look at his long-term economic goals proves this one.

14. IMPULSIVITY -- the occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation, frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and reckless.

Willing to destroy a nations economy for the sake of dogma.

15. IRRESPONSIBILITY -- repeated failure to fulfill or honor obligations and commitments; such as not paying bills, defaulting on loans, performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing to honor contractual agreements.

Causing a double dip recession is very iresposible. He was also unable to hold down part time jobs.
 Was only able to hold a job once he became a career politician which isn't exactly work.

16. FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS -- a failure to accept responsibility for one's actions reflected in low conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness, antagonistic manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate others through this denial.

Still blaming Labour despote the fact the economy had started to recover before he took power.  That recovery stopped a few months after George Osborne started making changes.

17. MANY SHORT-TERM MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS -- a lack of commitment to a long-term relationship reflected in inconsistent, undependable, and unreliable commitments in life, including marital.

He seems to have no problems there

18. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY -- behavior problems between the ages of 13-18; mostly behaviors that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or a callous, ruthless tough-mindedness.

Member of the Bullingdon club


19. REVOCATION OF CONDITION RELEASE -- a revocation of probation or other conditional release due to technical violations, such as carelessness, low deliberation, or failing to appear.

Not relevant.

20. CRIMINAL VERSATILITY -- a diversity of types of criminal offenses, regardless if the person has been arrested or convicted for them; taking great pride at getting away with crimes

I would call trying to find more ways to hurt the poor and middle classes is covered by this.

George Osborne ticks almost all the relevant boxes for a sociopath and if he takes any pleasure in this then he is a psycopath.

Why the hell is George Osborne still in a job and why is David Laws in the cabinet and not prison? #reshuffle

David Cameron has announced his new look cabinet and its rather unexciting the only good news is that Ken Clarke has gone leaving us to wonder how did he get the job in the first place He does remain as a minister without portfolio so he cant do any damage and as a sop to the old wing of the party. George Osborne who as chancellor has killed off the small recovery that was happening when he took over and has shoved us back into recession is still inexplicably Chancellor.  Finally expenses fraudster David Laws has been given a small role a junior education minister. Is this a tacit admission that Nick Clegg and David Cameron approve of or at least turn a blind eye to fraud. the rest is minor people moving into minor roles.

The economies death spiral by George Osborne a history graduate who doesn't know history.

As the graph on this BBC article shows the economy was starting to recover in the end of 2009 then this coalition was elected and within six months started their policy off economic slash and burn AKA austerity.

The depression is continuing with the government trying to blame everyone and everything from the jubilee to the weather. Indeed they are blaming everything except their own incompetence.

History has shown us that Austerity has never worked from japans decades long recession to the great depression between the wars austerity fail and it fails massively. During the great depression Britain enacted austerity measures whilst Roosevelt instigated the new deal and invested in the USA as a result the united states climbed out of depression and became the worlds strongest economy whilst Britain remained in depression.  George Osborne as a history graduate should know this.

The only conclusion is that the Chancellor is trying to continue the recession and there can be only one reason for deliberately continuing the recession. In a recession even more money than usual is concentrated in the richest 1% which just so happen to include the chancellors tax avoiding family as well as a significant number of Conservative backers. It is quite clear that the Tories are now destroying the economy for personal gain.

We need a new chancellor this one's broken

It has always been obvious that from the first moment he was in the job that George Osborne was not capable of being able to perform as chancellor. He was to weighed down by discredited principles that have always failed from Japans eternal recession to Britain in the 70's and 80's austerity does nothing except damage the economy and make the rich richer. As his family are one of the largest tax avoiders in this country it is clear that he will never plug the loopholes that allow billions to be siphoned out of the British economy.

Will we have two decades of recession like Japan?

The UK economy shrank by 0.3% in the first three months of the year, more than previously thought, revised figures have shown. This is a massive indicator of the problem with austerity it is a political experiment tried many times in many countries and it has always failed.  For the last two decades Japan has been pursuing the kind of fiscal austerity program now being urged on Europe to combat their debt crisis.
When Japan’s bubble economy imploded in the early 1990s, public finances were in surplus and government debt was a mere 20 percent of gross domestic product. Twenty years on, the government is running a yawning deficit and gross public debt as swollen to a sumo-sized 200 percent of GDP.
Fiscal austerity did not begin immediately, but Japan’s experiment with Keynesian-style public works programmes ended in 1997. The public works programs did not promote a significant recovery, but in the six years from 1992 to 1997, real GDP at least managed to grow at a feeble 1.3% annual rate. But in the two years after austerity began — public works spending being cut back and the consumption tax raised, real GDP fell by 2.1% (1998) and 0.1% (1999). Despite fiscal austerity after 1997, the budgetary situation steadily deteriorated, government outlays rising as percentage of GDP while tax revenues are 5% lower as a percentage of GDP than in 1988 when the consumption tax was introduced.

If George osborne continues with hos austerity plan we will sink deeper and deeper into recession I can only asume he wants this recesion.
