I guess he could have gone to a fancy restaurant instead and spent £50+.

This is not news.

Tidgy

or he could have gone to mcdonalds for £6

You want our already f*cked economy ran by a bloke fueled by mcdonalds? Hmmm.

Have people in Britain really got nothing better to complain about than the price a millionaire pays for a burger?

If he can afford a 10 quid burger why should he settle for the mass produced **** from McDonalds.

Oldun

He could have gone and also got his chauffeur to do wheelies on the way out, to impress the journos.

Tidgy

no, i just think he should practise what he claims to preach

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

Why the **** are we questioning this man's diet?

Are we going to come down like a tonne of bricks on him if he orders a Large Americano instead of a regular?!

Having had a McDonalds and a Byron before, it is reassuring to know he eats Byron.

Tidgy

as long as folks are fine with him living the high life than thats all fine then

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

Could you find me the link to the story where he preaches that we must not eat a meal more than £6 from time to time?

Tidgy

he's preaching austerity, or have you missed the past 3 years? lol

in what way is a 40% increase in budget austerity?

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

Would you like to see all restaurants other than McDonald's closed down then?

Tidgy

lol, i think your missing the point.

polititions should be setting an example in line with what they say, not saying one thing and doing something else.

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

Really, if this is what politics has become - analysing and critiquing the take-away dining choices of our elected - then I feel the need to cry.

Tidgy

ok, go away and cry, guess you wont flinch when they spend thousands on first class travel and such,,,,,,,,,,,,,

a ten quid burger to him is like joe public buying a burger for ten pence,

CrisPDuk

Given that sales of quality burgers made from proper meat are rapidly on the rise, and processed cardboard McDs rubbish sales are falling, I would say Osborne is more in touch with public opinion than you, to be honest

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

You are equating first-class travel worth many thousands, to a high-street burger. I would hope most rational people see the difference. In no way is it an extravagence. If it was a pizza from dominos, (worth > £10) would anyone be batting an eyelid!?

I reckon he was celebrating being back at No.1 after 43 years with the group's new album. Sharon probably went and bought it for him while he worked on his memoirs.

Torquemada

So we should all spend less money in shops and restaurants to help boost the economy? Sorry I don't see what the problem is here. Or should he stick to bread and water. I'm not a fan of the man but this is pathetic.

jonc

He is, have you not noticed the burger is not his usual hand formed Japanese Wagyu Beef patty infused with 15 herb white truffle butter and vintage chedder, topped with fried Quails egg and shaved black truffles served in a white truffle buttered Campagna roll with Paramount Caviar Kaluga caviar? No? It's just a plain old burger and chips for f*cks sake!!

Sorry, don't you mean a McJapanese Wagyu Beef patty infused with 15 herb white truffle butter and vintage chedder, topped with fried Quails egg and shaved black truffles served in a white truffle buttered Campagna roll with Paramount Caviar Kaluga caviar?

jonc

Of course, ...and he didn't even go 'large' either!

mamoon2

The burger was £6, fries and drinks extra.

I thought those type of prices were standard in London?

Fish and Chips at The Emirates Stadium are £13.20

This is not news

Burger at the Sea Work Boat show is £8.00 ffs.
Seriously Tidgy, you have fallen hook line and sinker one this, just what they want.

Another way to look at it is that he is working late and decided to grab a take away. Is the government paying for the burger, or is it coming out of his pocket? It doesn't say does it.
Just more ****e spouted by our spinelsss, cancer ridden growth or what some like to call 'The Media'.

dpb

Touching the pubic, what a ghastly notion

Leslie

Have you not noticed that all politicians are in touch with the public. Or so they tell us anyway!

jonc

Exactly, wasn't that long ago that they showed us all they were obviously 'like' us as they tickled their delicate palate with a Cornish pasty.

If they have to show us that they understand, then they clearly don't.

What he said, pathetic
