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.”

Somerset Capital Management, now HQ'd in Dublin, will help you to get your money out of the UK and invest in the EU.

It's beyond belief that anyone can vote for this man, when it's so clear he looks down on everyone else. Why do his constituency think he actually cares about them? Most MPs reply to letters and emails so that's nothing special

HeronLanyon · 04/09/2019 10:16

He also had a governess - I think she may also have had some critique re his contribution last night. I agree nanny was most needed particularly when he had to wipe his top lip and looked sick at the defeat.

Ha!

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.

@GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap

I didn't predict that anyone would read it that way, since I never thought anyone would seriously think Caroline Lucas had, in front of a televised parliamentary audience, referred to voters as "yokels", JRM as an "effete pipe cleaner" or skinning oneself alive a preferable option to being represented by JRM. Grin

However, when it became clear that one poster had in fact interpreted the OP in that way, I clarified in my post of 22:10:55 last night. Beyond that, not really sure what I can do, since MNHQ don't allow for editing of posts.

Those photos of him are brilliant.

That one needs sharing. Here

He is so incredibly disrespectful and seems to think he is muse a 1920s novel.“

Grin Nowhere near pretty enough.
Ohflippineck · 04/09/2019 10:45

Can’t find that picture, where’s it from?

Underhisi · 04/09/2019 10:46

The cock was absolutely doing it so the attention would be on him and not on what anyone said. It's like the "look at me" child in a classroom.

Ohflippineck · 04/09/2019 10:49

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?“

Yes, sadly. All the while decrying the “elite”. Poor, manipulated fools.

Butchyrestingface · 04/09/2019 10:53

Who on earth are the 13% of voters on this thread who actually want JRM to slither on? Shock

Caroline Lucas-privately educated and married to a man who was privately educated and

They believe in the private education system so much that her husband teaches at a private school-probably feels very superior to all those carrot crunching yokels.

Dreadful little creature.

MargoLovebutter · 04/09/2019 10:56

I'm so glad he lounged like that, so everyone could see exactly the contempt with which he holds parliament and the other MPs in it.

Urgh, far too many entitled, self-congratulatory, privileged, white, upper middle-class men on that front bench for my liking. What do they know about the lives of ordinary people and why is anyone still voting for them.

Alsohuman · 04/09/2019 10:57

Caroline Lucas has never mentioned yokels.

woman19 · 04/09/2019 10:58

Mogg, and his supporters, remind me of Jimmy Saville.

May I refer the honourable Butchy to the reply I gave earlier Grin
Poor, manipulated fools.

CrapTVAddict · 04/09/2019 11:02

Can you imagine the shit Corbyn would have got if he lounged like that from the Tories?
But it's ok it's a posh twat who can do what he wants. The rules don't apply to him.

Ohflippineck · 04/09/2019 11:12

That would be rightly so too, if Corbyn or anyone else were to loll about in the same way. Anyone demonstrating such disrespect to the voting public by displaying blatant contempt of their representatives, Parliament and all it stands for, deserves all the shit heaped upon them.
Poor deluded fool that I am, I still believe that it’s a privilege for anyone to sit there, with its great history and what it means, and anyone showing the arrogant contempt Rees Mogg did last night should have their whip withdrawn.

Susiesoap7 · 04/09/2019 11:17

Why should he worry? He's just wealthy, doesn't have to care about 'the commoners' nice home, 400 children, wife caring for them! What a life eh?

Ohflippineck · 04/09/2019 11:20

Not forgetting dear Nanny.

BogglesGoggles · 04/09/2019 11:21

But they voted for him because he was a Tory not for his glittering personality. It’s better than the alternative in many people’s eyes.

MsTSwift · 04/09/2019 11:25

He is as bad in real life my father comes across him at events and cannot stand him. My parents are his constituents but didn’t vote for him but get so frustrated by their peers who did and fell for the “English eccentric “ act. He is out for himself.

MsTSwift · 04/09/2019 11:31

My father made him buy a cd at a local event that they both knew he didn’t really want. Small victory I guess Grin

Fraggling · 04/09/2019 12:08

Slagging off Caroline Lucas for her parents' and her husbands' parents' choice of school is really scraping the barrel.
