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.”

Nanny’s little soldier. 😆😆😆

Rudeness directed to one of the most destructive, callous, nasty, vile politicians to ever exist in the uk is bloody justified in my opinion!

He's a selfish, arrogant arse who will not suffer one iota whatever happens!

And FRANKLY I do wonder wtf possessed those who voted for him!

Skinnychip · 04/09/2019 07:13

He is an arrogant waste of oxygen who should get on his fucking penny farthing and cycle as far away as possible or off the nearest cliff

Tellmetruth4 · 04/09/2019 07:24

Why can’t some people see through his ‘eccentric English gent’ act? It looks so studied, like he practices what he thinks to be an upper class gent in front of the mirror. The way he speaks, dresses and acts doesn’t look natural to him at all. He looks like a middle class person impersonating what he thinks an upper class person is like in a desperate bid to fit in.

HeronLanyon · 04/09/2019 07:34

I think rather than being false he is such a tosser that his natural and very real (and life long) arrogance and entitlement is an obvious source of delight to him. He is conscious of it and revels in it. He uses it as a marker of contempt. It’s a form of bullying.
Whats usually a sign of exactly what tellmetruth describes - an assumed false veneer isn’t the case with him I think.
With him I think it’s real and flaunted unlike many we saw speak last night (letwin, grieve etc) who share privilege but wear it lightly or with no weight at all.

Tellmetruth4 · 04/09/2019 07:54

I read the comments on the DM website and people are calling him a ‘legend’ for behaving in a way which would get many people a warning at their workplace.

ThePallidBustOfPallas · 04/09/2019 08:05

I thought this was as good as today would get

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

And then I read this -

Someone here suggested he looks as if he ejaculates dust

Keep this thread going please!

I happen to live in his constituency and I object to being referred to as a yokel. North East Somerset is a very mixed area with people from many social classes and we are not yokels. When we moved to this area we had a labour MP he was absolutely useless. Since JRM has been our MP we have had an MP who is always at events in the constituency and responds helpfully to any contact that is made.

Got it spot on

mossmurray · 04/09/2019 08:29

@ElektraUnchained that quote wasn't from Caroline Lucas, it was taken from Twitter.

BonnesVacances · 04/09/2019 08:32

I know a couple of his constituents and he's a good constituency MP. Yesterday he created a distraction. And it's worked.

mossmurray · 04/09/2019 08:34

The man is pathetic. Imagine a grown man having to get his father to write a letter to Henry Mcleish, a labour mp, to thank him for stopping his son getting beaten up.

GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap · 04/09/2019 09:37

OP I think you needed to make it clear in your OP that the Twitter quote is NOT from Caroline Lucas. It reads to me as if you are then quoting her tweet.
Yes he's absolutely odious.

BrittleJoys · 04/09/2019 09:40

How has it ‘worked’, @BonnesVacances?

Lots of tiresome Oxford Union debating room tactics on the Tory front benches atm.

CmdrCressidaDuck · 04/09/2019 09:46

God bless the Internet, which has instantly generated dozens of memes of that bastard's lounge.

BlindAssassin1 · 04/09/2019 09:50

If you're referring to a section of the electorate as yokels you probably don't understand how and why people vote the way they do. It comes across as petty and puerile and leads us into the shit storm we're in right now.

BrittleJoys · 04/09/2019 09:53

Or it indicates an expectation that all of the electorate will look up a candidate’s voting record before they tick his name, rather than thinking primarily about whether he’s going to sort out your local issues?

Fraggling · 04/09/2019 09:56

JRM is a terrifying bastard.

The fact that a man like him is in a position of power in this country is really disconcerting. He is so obviously only out for himself, and to me it seems he would like to return most of the population of uk to serf status. Of course the likelihood of impending financial distaster for the country coupled with no EU brakes on stripping away employee rights will get us quite a long way there.

What on earth do people see in him? He's callous, self serving, dangerous. Is it a sort of ingrained British thing in some people to defer to / tug forelock for 'betters' ie poshers?

BonnesVacances · 04/09/2019 09:58

Brittle Because more people are talking about that today, than what happened last night in the HOC with the motion etc.

IsoscelesSandwich · 04/09/2019 10:02

I was thinking ‘what a scrote’ But haunted pencil is much more eloquent

Trying to think of the best insult for J R-M is hard, there's been so many.

I'm going with "looking like a stick insect's wank fantasy"

Dogsarebetterthancatsok · 04/09/2019 10:07

‘Kinder, caring politics’

NearlyGranny · 04/09/2019 10:11

I'm surprised Nanny didn't teach him to sit up straight. I prescribe an hour seated alone at the dining table three times a day after meals with a yardstick inserted inside a steel-boned corset. Of course the first session each day would have to be held in the breakfast room, but the cretonne-covered chair cushion must be removed before he is seated. Nanny is to supervise.

He takes man-spreading to a whole new level, doesn't he?!
