Is Jacob Rees-Mogg actually on glue?

Jacob Rees-Mogg is now claiming that the current economic meltdown is not at all caused by the recent mini budget. Oh no. He blames 'interest rates' and er, 'global factors' and the Bank of England obvs. Oh, and the BBC for daring to ask him questions.

Even given the IQ of the shit show that is the current Conservative Government, who on Earth thought it was a good idea to wheel out this farcical, deluded, mad fucker?

I thought they had firmly sealed Rees-Mogg into a box after his last outburst when he blamed the Grenfell Tower victims for dying because they were stupid. It seems they have let him out.

He doesn’t live in the real world. He is clueless about so many things.

It hasn't helped but the economy is fucked world wide for all sorts of reasons

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 12/10/2022 11:38

God l wish we could have an election.

How can that supersonic prick be taken seriously?

MrsSkylerWhite · 12/10/2022 11:38

No. He’s just a twat.

We call him the "Haunted Pencil".

Truly an anachronism, and an awful superior stupid but very very rich man.

Discovereads · 12/10/2022 11:41

That’s what you get when you put a man raised by a nanny, sent to Eton and studied medieval history at Oxford in charge of business. He has no experience, no training and no education on business or economics.

Liz Truss is the fool from the tarot.

HandbagAtDawn · 12/10/2022 11:46

He's the ultimate example of what happens when extreme wealth and privilege combines with sub-par intellect in the traumatic crucible of public school.

You end up with really rich, thick sociopaths.

mibbelucieachwell · 12/10/2022 11:48

And he always explains how factors that the little people, unlike him, have misunderstood. Parliamentary processes, economic factors etc. He really is a con artist. His explanation of how things work is often incorrect, which is bad enough without him trying to claim that only people like him in a similar position can understand these things.

His historical examples are frequently called out by real historians as incorrect.

He clearly hopes that his listeners are impressed by his facade of being an expert and his posh accent. Unfortunately some of them fall for it.

@Haffiana

nasty brexit right wing rich boy and I can’t believe people vote for his 1950’s view!

Haffiana · 12/10/2022 12:00

Well, someone on here has voted that I am BU. Perhaps they would like to enlighten us as to why?

Haunted pencil 🤣

NashvilleQueen · 12/10/2022 12:04

He thinks his accent (which is put on) and his wealth give him credibility. Sadly too many people are taken in by it. Dreadful man.

Minimalme · 12/10/2022 12:04

Oh common op, he's not on glue.

He can afford far more expensive gear than glue ffs.

I suspect he is an evil character from a book who was given form via an ancient artefact discovered in the Houses of Parliament.

Or a haunted pencil as observed above.

Changechangychange · 12/10/2022 12:07

I love the fact that he says the IMF simply don’t understand economics and are partisan against the Tories. Yep, that is definitely the issue and not Kwasi’s shitty budget.

Perhaps his nanny is on here? I doubt he knows how to use the internet himself.

JustDanceAddict · 12/10/2022 12:17

I can’t believe he’s been allowed to appear on bbc breakfast, no-one wants to see or hear his Victorian views.

Q2C4 · 12/10/2022 12:20

He quoted the IMF report as supporting the government's growth predictions until the interviewer asked him if he'd read the report in full, as if he had he'd have realised that the IMF don't remotely reach that conclusion. He is a buffoon.

His grandad was a lorry driver, or so I read the other day. Surely this cannot be true? Are there special, terribly posh lorries that come equipped with a nanny and a trailer full of Smug? Incomprehensible.

tectonicplates · 12/10/2022 12:31

Maybe the lorry was delivering things to Harrods?

JRM gives me the creeps. Yuck.

My inlaws love him. I think it is because they have been brainwashed by getting all their news from the Telegraph and are influenced by how someone speaks and dresses rather than the content of the speech.

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s mother was his father’s secretary before she was his wife. So, his mothers father was a lorry driver in WWII. After that he owned a car sales business, was a local politician and eventually mayor of St Pancreas.

Anybody else find it fascinating watching what this car crash of a government are going to do/say next. If it wasn’t so serious it would be comical.

Jebatronic · 12/10/2022 12:49

Sorry, there’s nothing said after the thread title that says it better. It needs to be on placards and T-shirts - oh hold on, wait… that’s fiendish ! It’s a ruse to take pressure off no10 and 11…..don’t get sucked in everyone, JRM is an almost irresistible distraction of arseitude (I made it up, but I needed that word) to scatter our scorn.

Kfcbag · 12/10/2022 12:49

He’s giddy from all the central heating he can afford.
