Removal of materal from George Osborne article.
I originally wrote that material. Then another user took it out. Later I accidentally restored it. After that I I reverted my own edit. I added a brief mention of Osborne's failure to visit a food bank, since it covers his whole lifetime that doesn't fit any section so I put it in the summary at the top of the page.
