I know he's not popular, but if George got booed, was the only reason why David Cameron didn't get booed at the swimming, was because he was presenting Ellie Simmonds with her gold, and everyone was on a high? Seems odd that one got booed and the other didn't! If the problem is the financial crisis then surely both of them are culpable? Also that reaction of the crowd is going to overshadow all the achievements of the athletes in tomorrow's papers, more so than the Iranian athlete refusing to shake hands with the Duchess of Cambridge for cultural reasons. Unfortunately, if it was a wrong reaction, then about 80,000 people were involved. I really don't know what I think about that. I do know that Osbourne is not popular, for some understandable reasons, but my gut feeling is that this reaction was not right. The Olympics and Paralympics are supposed to be outside politics. This reaction didn't back up the ethos of fair play (which the crowd has been so fantastic at doing, supporting those who are far behind fields but keep going, for example) at all.
