Chancellor George was highly commended for the manner in which he opted to change the procedure for delivering his 'Statement of Facts' since they were quite unlike ANY that had been heard in the house before, certainly not by ANY former Chancellor.
The reason for the apparent 'Lauding' stemmed from the fact that he chose to address the house with a new strategy, you see, normally, the Chancellor is expected to 'Sweet Talk' his audience and make proposals which might instill a little confidence among his peers, however, since it is quite obvious to the whole world that such confidence will require a little more than 'Sweet Talk' to reappear, George "Gave it to them Straight from the Shoulder" (as one delighted reporter put it) which initially shocked but subsequently received the 'Lauding' for such an innovative performance from all present.
You see, such 'Straight Talk' is hardly expected in the 'Halls of Power' and Georgie boy gave them quite a shock (but he is accepted).
Years PRIOR to George's innovative address, an Irish Politician (for the purpose of this comparison I will name him Patrick Muldoon M.P.) attended the house in order to deliver an address on behalf of his constituents, not being particularly 'Well Schooled' in the art of deception, Patrick Muldoon M.P. carefully set his papers in front of him and, wiping his mouth, glared in the direction of 'The Speaker'.
"Mister Speaker" said Patrick Muldoon M.P. "Sure, I might as well come straight to the point, 'The Country is Bollicksed' !".
Now THAT is what 'I' would call 'Straight Talk', (but Patrick Muldoon M.P. is NOT accepted).................Shame on the 'Brits'.
