Dominic Raab.... your thoughts

I'm dismayed he's in charge with attitudes like these. He comes across as stupid and dismissive. Not a detail man that's for sure.

He looks completely out of his depth to me. I never thought I'd be hoping for Gove to take over.

"Dominic Raab still thinks feminists are bigots

He was on Marr this morning, just catching up on it now.

Remember when he wrote “feminists are now amongst the most obnoxious bigots” (amongst other gems) in this article in 2011
Dominic Raab, We must end feminist bigotry
www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/we-must-end-feminist-bigotry

Marr just asked him if he still stands by that statement - he just waffled about supporting equality/Maria Miller. He’s asking to be our Prime Minister, and didn’t think that might be a good opportunity to say “hmm, I did generalise a bit there didn’t I, perhaps that was slightly offensive” at least.

Not that I have any say in who the Tories choose anyway, but way to start turning off 52% of the electorate before you’re even in No10, Dom."

Evidence:

As Brexit secretary, he didn't read (all 35 pages!) of the Good Friday agreement....his words? it isn't a "cracking novel".

As Brexit secretary he refers to a leader of a political party by their wrong name. Now, personally, I cannot imagine turning up to a meeting with, for instance, Dominic Raab. And then, repeatedly referring to him as Dominic Rabbit.

In his own words:
“I hadn’t quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and if you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing.”
Dover carries around 20% UK trade.
I'm not sure how he thought his French cheeses arrived in his supermarket.

In his own words: “From the cradle to the grave, men are getting a raw deal. Feminists are now amongst the most obnoxious bigots.”

Need any more?

Depends whether we’re discussing ability to pass exams, or understanding of the way human emotions work and how to empathise with others’ experiences

Well I thought that the 'sociopath' comment covered the above?

I've dealt with him in real life. Very average intellect and a bit lazy.

He is a grammar school boy who went to Oxford then Cambridge so I think that 'thick as shit' might be pushing it somewhat?

Thick as shit, and a total sociopath

What is your evidence for this? He is a grammar school boy who went to Oxford then Cambridge so I think that 'thick as shit' might be pushing it somewhat?

Thick as shit, and a total sociopath.

I think we're doomed.

You need to only see his reaction when questioned by the esteemable Lady Silvia Herman(an MP, Law Lecturer and generally decent human being).

She questioned whether he had ever read the Good Friday/Belfast agreement (all 35 pages of it).

He reacted as would a 16year old, when taken to task by Teacher, when they haven't completed their homework.

Stroppy. Rude.

Where are the adults?

he's a ignorant twat. its almost impressive how ignorant he is.

He’s obnoxious and he looks like he’s shitting himself.
