Jacob Rees-Mogg

[Filo]

The arrogance of the man knows no bounds

[Donnywolf]

... and recently quoted as saying (on BBC Radio 4 ?) - no we cant have another Referndum because now the people know the truth they will vote against it

Ive paraphrased but I am sure someone will put the clip on here

Take your point - that posture is comtemptuous in the extreme - arrogance beyond bounds for sure

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

It's just really bad to have that approach and screams arrogance doesn't it?  That's the problem with him, highly intelligent but his public persona is terrible.

Having said that, it would be me if I was in parliament as I slouch a lot due to some medical issues.  No way could I sit for that long.  I doubt that's his reason, he's just an idiot.

[BillyStubbsTears]

He was an embarrassment last night. Shown up for what he is.

He was an eccentric entertainment on the back benches. Give him some responsibility and he's an arrogant, empty vessel, dressed up in meaningless faux clever words.

Did you see how much effort he'd put into alliteration in his speech last night? Excruciating. Like a public-school precocious posh prick.

[Donnywolf]

Like Johnson - both just failed "Have I got news for you "contestants Send themselves up but no doubt with an agenda

Yes call up that young Ed Balls now - brilliant economist - good sport - Gangnam Style dancer - and maybe a great President
sorry Prime Minister
Carole Vorderman for Chancellor etc

[Copps is Magic]

Honestly, your heart drops to see Borris and Mogg sat on the front bench together. It's like a return to the tory party pre-new labour. I thought we'd moved on as a country. Working in the Netherlands, and having a lot of German colleagues, they see us as a circus act - a complete soap opera. They show me what it being published in German/Dutch newspapers about us and I have to wince every time.

It's actually far, far worse than the Tory party from 25 years ago.

That was a broad church. Ken Clarke was Chancellor. Last night he had the whip removed.

This current incarnation of the Tory party is a nasty, bitter, nationalistic rump of the Right in the UK. Created by Johnson's two advisers, Cummings and Bannon.

JRM would make an excellent PM. He can certainly push all the right buttons to wind up the cretins on the other side of the house.

He’d certainly make sure the scrubbers from the East End are put in their place

Too right, West Ham scum on the wrong side of the water.

His body language is shocking. That said, he’s preferable to the current unelectable lot across the table.

Is it? Putting brexit aside for a minute, what particular views do you share with Mogg and Johnson?

[Axholme Lion]

Could you imagine that shower running the country? Well you wouldn't have to because if the likes of Sneer Smarmer had their way the EU would be doing it for them.

Give your head a shake, Corbyn is not ideal, but do you really think that upper class prick cares on jot about you?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Leave it Filo. Nothing whatsoever to be gained by discussing like a grown up with someone who, by his own words today, is just interested in baiting folk. Let him spout his shite into the void.

[MachoMadness]

[Sprotyrover]

I like Rees Mogg!

[BillyStubbsTears]

I like Rees Mogg!

Go on. I'll bite. Why?

BFYP
I'm not sure where you get the idea that he's highly intelligent.

He has a façade of deep learning. He has a confident, patrician, born-to-rule manner. He quotes schoolboy Latin.

But when he talks about detailed issues, he's as thick as mince. He trots out clichés and "facts" that are not remotely supported by evidence.

He's all about image, with zero content. Which is why he deserves the kicking he is getting for the image he projected last night. Sneering condescension aimed at people who are far more in control of the facts and arguments.

[Sprotyrover]

I watched him take on a room full of University students and come out of the debate on top. Which takes some doing on a live show.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I may have seen the same video. If it's the one I'm thinking of, he said two blatant lies in the first response to a question that he gave. But he did it with such confidence, no-one picked him up on it.

The fact that you think he came out on top sums up the problem. His type are trained to with debates. But not by marshalling facts and establishing truth. It's the classic example of style over content.

[Sprotyrover]

Billy you type cast him as a new type of Goebels I didn't see that, Having said that  I also like Rosie Winterton,Caroline Flint, Harriet Harman, The late Tony Benn and My favourite MP Denis skinner.!

[BillyStubbsTears]

No I don't Sporty. I cast his as an arrogant, supercilious man whose self-opinion is far greater than his intellect.

[Sprotyrover]

No I don't Sporty. I cast his as an arrogant, supercilious man whose self-opinion is far greater than his intellect.

Don't worry He isn't on my 'Invite to Tea' list.

[BigH]

Loved Nicholas Soames's - Churchill's grandson and one of the Tories expelled this week - description of him in today's Times:

"Rees Mogg is an absolute fraud, he is a living example of what a moderately cut double-breasted suit and a decent tie can do with an ultra-posh voice and a bit of ginger stuck up his arse."

[BillyStubbsTears]

Like I said. Falling apart.

Been a civil war in the Tory Party bubbling up for 30 years and it's finally got to the shooting stage.
