The British Conservative Party's shadow chancellor, George Osbourne, is attacking the polices of newish Prime Minister Gordon Brown. I hear you say that there is nothing new or unusual in that and you are correct. However you need to remember that the Labour Party is ostensibly a left of centre party (it wasn't under Blair but there may be hope under Brown) and that the Tory's are indeed a right of centre party. So the fact that Osbourne is attacking Gordo for a failure to tackle inequitable wealth distribution should come as a surprise to any Americans reading this!
