To think that Jacob Rees - Mogg is an effing hypocrite

[Poshindevon]

It has been in the papers today that Somerset Capital Management an investment company owned by Jacob Rees - Mogg has a large investment in a company called Kalbe Farme who manufacture pills used in abortions
The Somerset MP is against abortion even in rape cases, but profits from the sale of pills widely used in illegal abortions in Indonesia

Christ. The idea of Rees-Mogg becoming PM fucking terrifies me. It would utterly, utterly screw up the country and all the progress we've made. I would flee.

Tammy No, I know some lovely Catholics

How splendid for you. And aren't they the lucky ones!

Ooh is this young guy a MNer?

He should be!! At first I was a bit worried he'd just be quiet and not say anything but the boy pulled through 😎 came up with some good rebuttals considering he was toe to toe with someone who has professional coaching on how to argue .... good lad whoever you are is that ageist of me?

Anti abortionists aren't really "pro-life", they're pro birth. They're usually the same kind of person who'd try and restrict any and all help for people once actually born.

So true and reminded me of this.

Great cartoon- (sadly so true)

I think he's wonderful and a lot of people do too. Luckily we live in a free world where we can have different views from each other.

What is wonderful about him, Oldie?

We need to find something to keep the likes of Rees-Mogg away from power; some hobby to keep him out of mischief.
Historically, the dopey children of the aristocracy were kept busy. Three hundred years ago, he’d have been shunted into the Church. Two hundred years ago the likes of him would be leading the Forlorn Hope at the siege of some Spanish town. A hundred years ago, he’d have been getting working class lads killed at the Somme.
It’s keeping them busy while not doing anyone else any harm that’s the problem.

Most people are hypocrites in one way or another. Some people worry about pollution but won't give up the car, others think the NHS needs more money but aren't willing to pay more in taxes to fund it.

Topic of the day

That invest it and turn a blind eye is exactly the shitty give a fuck attitude that's got politics and society in the mess it's in

I'm alright jack fuck everyone else. Despite your pharmacist analogy it may surprise you that some people actually give a shit where their money goes; actually make a considered choice which energy providers they use, which pension scheme they opt for

Morality is perfectly black and white for Rees Mogg. He just chooses to totally fucking ignore it in the course of making money.

Whilst people adopt the shoulder shrugging attitude of oh well and continue to be self serving he will get away with it.

How a man who claims never to have changed a nappy when having 6 kids and is still an important part of an investment firm with sketchy ethics is part of government is beyond any comprehension.

Could he possibly be anymore out of touch with the reality of UK population

I really think men need to keep their mouths shut, and mind their own business when it comes to abortion. If they're so "pro life", why don't they focus their attentions on the men who don't bother to see their kids or pay maintenance?

But they don't, because it's not really about being pro life, or caring about children, it's just a way to control women.

He's a cunt, this is unsurprising. I have a little theory that he might not be real, he's like a time warp robot....

JRM is an utter cunt of a person he makes me sick, self righteous morally hipocritical caniving twat, so out of touch, ok for him with his millions to endorse brexit which will likely cost normal people substantial amounts of hard earned cash!

Oh lovely, another anti Tory thread no doubt paid and brought to you courtesy of the Labour Party.

As has been pointed out, your OP is totally incorrect in that JR-M is not the sole owner of the Fund, he has not managed the funds since becoming an MP and none of his own money is invested in the company in question.

Still, best not let the truth get in the way of a good Tory bashing.

Strange version of the truth. Did he say something along the lines of "I fundementally disagree with abortion but am happy to profit from it" by any chance?
