What the hell is “a Britain economics writer”? Is The Economist trying to demonstrate its need for someone who understands grammar? Or do they want a companion for their France economic writer…?

I’m not an economist, but then neither is the chancellor. After placing my moral compass in the drawer containing random keys and assorted detritus I can “enhance” my CV to claim with conviction that Warren Buffet calls me for advice and my writing shames Stephanie Flanders. Have I got the job?

I know about supply and demand! I know about unemployment and the unfairness of allowing a few incredibly inadequate billionaires deciding the fate of the planet. Am I qualified?

No! The main qualification is to understand that a government budget is just like a household budget and to ridicule anyone who says otherwise. Otherwise how will the establishment take you seriously?
