George Osborne's tear, shed for Margaret Thatcher at her funeral service.

Presented in a crystal vial, with decorative stopper fashioned lovingly from pewter into the image of Milton Friedman.

It goes without saying that this item is one of a kind, never seen before or since. And this is reflected in the asking price.

The proceeds from this sale will go to the Arts Council.


We've been having some problems posting up Q+A, so here's a selection:

Q: Does this item imbue its owner with any specific powers? Thinking of buying for my mate Terry who's 30 in a week. He's terrible with money.

A:
Is your mate Terry already rich, despite being terrible with money? If so, he will LOVE this item. This one-of-a-kind relic actually makes the rich... richer! Not only that, but it makes the poor poorer, having the effect of making the rich even more smug. Why do you think Gideon spends so much time smirking?

Q:
Do you have a Cameron smug smirk for sale ?

A: We would like to be able to say we managed to wipe the smirk from Gideon's face at the same time as we snatched the Tear, but unfortunately the smirk is well and truly stuck to his face.

Q: Will this tear have any eye bogies in it?

A:
We think you might be pulling our leg with this question.

Q:
Can you guarantee that no onions were hurt during the production of the item?

A:
We might be able to arrange a sale of the onion. But don't tell everyone. We'll see what we can do.
