GEORGE Osborne's Knutsford Tory HQ has suddenly been moved away from its long-standing location overlooking Canute Place.
Was this caused by embarrassment with the old office being sited by Canute Place?
That location provokes a comparison of Osborne with King Canute, neither of whom succeeded in stopping the natural flow of waters.
But at least Canute knew the limits of his powers, even if his courtiers did not.
