&quot;And so inspired by Jennie Rigg’s brilliant tweet, here are extracts from George Osborne’s speech today, with “cyber” replaced with “spider”.<p>And it makes just as much sense.&quot;<p>No it doesn&#x27;t. That&#x27;s crazy. &quot;Spiderspace&quot;? The term &quot;cyberspace&quot; may be prone to abuse but it does mean something. &quot;Cyber security&quot; means something real. &quot;Cyber-age&quot; means something real. I&#x27;d prefer &quot;computer&quot; for the latter two, but it doesn&#x27;t change the fact that &quot;computer&#x2F;cyber security&quot; is a real problem. Nobody&#x27;s going to hack into a spider and break all your grid electrical generators by over-revving them.<p>This is clearly just &quot;I don&#x27;t like X therefore all negative claims about X must be true&quot;. The claim that this speech makes just as much sense is so transparently ludicrous I can&#x27;t imagine where else it comes from.
