REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, LONDON - Finance minister George Osborne is the public figure that most often appears in British nightmares, a recent study has found.

Ruling Conservative party member Osborne, whose official title is Chancellor of the Exchequer, was booed during a medal ceremony at the Paralympics this summer in London and has been the focus of public criticism for austerity measures which have seen cuts to welfare budgets and a freeze in public sector pay.

Gordon Brown, the former Labour prime minister, came second in the survey conducted by hotel group Travelodge, which asked 2,000 people about their nightmares.

The former glamour model Katie Price, also known as Jordan, beat a number of other politicians to come third.

"Suffering from nightmares that involve the Chancellor, money and losing a job are a true reflection of how the credit crunch, and the double dip recession, has affected our well-being as well as our money", Shakila Ahmed, a spokeswoman for Travelodge, said.

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ لَّمْ نَقْصُصْ عَلَيْكَ ۗوَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُوْلٍ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَ بِاٰيَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ۚفَاِذَا جَاۤءَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ قُضِيَ بِالْحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ ࣖ
Dan sungguh, Kami telah mengutus beberapa rasul sebelum engkau (Muhammad), di antara mereka ada yang Kami ceritakan kepadamu dan di antaranya ada (pula) yang tidak Kami ceritakan kepadamu. Tidak ada seorang rasul membawa suatu mukjizat, kecuali seizin Allah. Maka apabila telah datang perintah Allah, (untuk semua perkara) diputuskan dengan adil. Dan ketika itu rugilah orang-orang yang berpegang kepada yang batil.

(QS. Gafir ayat 78)
