Given the state of the economy, the state of my to-do list and the amount of time available to me right now, I couldn’t resist taking the speech George Osborne, our new Chancellor, gave this morning and putting it through Wordle.

[![Wordle of George Osborne's speech](https://i2.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2010/05/gideon-wordle-thumb-520x340-1643.png?resize=520%2C340)](https://i0.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2010/05/gideon-wordle.png)
Not many clear messages there, other than the fact he likes the word “fiscal”… Is this just a complicated issue, or is Osborne just not very good at making a point?
