AIBU to hope Jacob Rees Mogg never gets back up?

Is anyone watching this? Caroline Lucas has torn into him. 😵😵😵

This tweet [not by Caroline Lucas] gave me a laugh:

“Shoutout to the 28,992 absolute yokels in north east Somerset who voted for Jacob Rees Mogg and inflicted this effete pipe cleaner on the rest of us, when better options were available, such as blasting your own flesh off with a Karcher pressure washer. Or the Labour candidate.”

I once read a tweet where he was called a haunted pencil...😂

Elodie2019 · 03/09/2019 23:16

I'm a teacher and I see children do this when they are on the defensive. They lol about in an exaggerated way to show that they are 'in control , not a care in the world' when in fact, they feel one of the following:
Under attack
Humiliated
Uneasy
Defeated
Embarrassed

We need a body language expert to analyse this immature, arrogant prick properly.

TrainspottingWelsh · 03/09/2019 23:19

Yabu to have such a misleading title so I momentarily thought someone had thrown him in a slurry pit.

CGTER567 · 03/09/2019 23:19

Why would you applaud such rudeness? Baffling.

He was ruder. Sprawled out like he was watching the football and not showing the slightest attention to the MP who was speaking. A child would be pulled up if they did that in school, an adult would be in trouble at work, and a privately educated "gentleman" should know better.
But he's got his five minutes of fame for the week.

A haunted Victorian pencil Grin

I don’t like JRM at all, but that tweet isn’t abusing him, it’s abusing the people who voted for him. And yokels... not nice at all.

Tolleshunt · 03/09/2019 23:27

I reckon you’re 100% on the money, Elodie.

BrittleJoys · 03/09/2019 23:27

Frankly, the people who voted for him deserve it. One look at his voting record shows exactly what he is, and speaking as a ‘yokel’ myself, we do still have the internet.

Tonnerre · 03/09/2019 23:37

He's thoroughly dishonest, and it's become more and more obvious since he became Leader of the House. It's particularly despicable that he has blatantly been arranging his finances so as to make millions out of a no deal Brexit, and is abusing his powers to try to bring that about.

Miljah · 03/09/2019 23:38

For all of us who are horrified by the ramifications of No Deal.

Yes, let's say we end up 'No Deal'. We're out.

Within I'd say 2-5 years, we'd be begging our way back in.

But the EU would demand a certain level of democracy to allow us back in. Like a written constitution; like proportional representation; like the sorts of Parliaments we witness, on telly, a semi circle of wired up desks facing a central desk (like the Scottish Parliament, as an example). Grown ups waiting their chance to speak...

Not the fucking ridiculous bear pit of our 'Mother of all Parliaments'.

I despair, viscerally, of all this.

But this is maybe the slap we 'Brits' need?

Because I am honest, I can sling this stuff around, as my family have dual (non-EU) citizenship. Not JRM's 50 years. My children's professional life times. But who wants this?

GingerRogers84 · 03/09/2019 23:39

@StrakerAndBarlow 😂 haunted pencil 😂👌🏻

Miljah · 03/09/2019 23:39

sportsnight Yokels? 'Not Nice'. Bless.

Alsohuman · 03/09/2019 23:41

Someone here suggested he looks as if he ejaculates dust. I laugh every time I think of it.

HeronLanyon · 03/09/2019 23:45

Lucas
Soubry
Sandbach
Grieve
Clarke
Helen Jones.

There were some really great contributions. Jrm was contemptuous of it all. He looked sick after the vote.

Tolleshunt · 03/09/2019 23:50

Oh god. That’s such an awful thought. Yet so apt.

Grin
StrakerAndBarlow · 03/09/2019 23:58

He looks like he's just been dug up...

CaptainButtock · 04/09/2019 00:00

Elodie Yep I think you are bang on the money there.
Looked exactly like someone trying desperately hard not to look like they were panicking.
Embarrassing.

I bet he keeps his socks and vest on

NoTheresa · 04/09/2019 00:04

Thank you for a fantastically funny thread.🤣

NoTheresa · 04/09/2019 00:06

So many cracking lines. I am sniggering quietly to myself. Best thread in ages bar none.

Ellie56 · 04/09/2019 00:09

I absolutely loathe and detest Jacob Rees Slug. I really hope the Lib Dems take his seat at the next election. Arrogant pompous git. Angry

campion · 04/09/2019 00:13

arrogant prick

Don't think you need to bother with the body language expert, Elodie. You are it.

NoTheresa · 04/09/2019 00:15

He is an odious reptile.

PickAChew · 04/09/2019 00:17

Rees Smug was rude about people objecting to the prorogation of parliament (candy floss?) All gloves are off.

Alsohuman · 04/09/2019 00:27

He looked as if he was going to cry when the result of the vote was announced. Hope he sobbed on nanny’s shoulder all the way home.
