It is ironic that just days after announcing a painful austerity program for the British people, we find that the champion for that program was described as utterly fascinated with the methods and implements of ritual punishment. The irony escapes them.
Perhaps the fascination foreshadowed Osborne's current policies, although an interest in consensual discipline and bondage is hardly comparable to dishing out punishment to those without jobs, in need of medical care; people who face the imminent prospect of homelessness. That's the worst form of humiliation and suffering. Maybe Mr. Osborne needs a refresher course.
