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.

You know little kids whose automatic response is "It wasn't me!"...

'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.'

Ok but what ON EARTH do they find appealing about how he speaks and dresses? Who in their right mind looks at him and thinks 'yep, that's my guy. The country will be safe in his hands. He gets my vote'. Ditto Boris Johnson

I usually watch BBC breakfast whilst drinking my coffee but thankfully they warned me that JRM was coming on so I was able to switch the TV off and go and get my breakfast. When DS asked how I was this morning I replied "all the better for not having had to suffer Jacob Rees Mogg on TV this morning " 😁

The electorate voted these people in. Just remember that, people had a choice, and this is what they chose.

PeterPomegranate · 12/10/2022 16:47

I’ve never been able to forgive him for what he said about Grenfell. I don’t think I ever can.

Weird little cap doffers probably love him @Lottapianos. Brits seem to have a strange love for submitting to their superiors. It's why the RF has been tolerated this long.

the80sweregreat · 12/10/2022 16:49

I hope that the good people of North Somerset vote someone else. I bet they don't though.

’Is Jacob Rees-Mogg actually on glue?’

No, privilege and arrogance, though the total detachment from reality looks similar to an outside observer.

KonTikki · 12/10/2022 16:55

and the very pertinent fact that JRM really is a "farcical deluded mad fucker"

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

Sorry that made me laugh!

Ageneralsenseofproundconcern · 12/10/2022 16:59

He's a jumped up twat with ideas well above his intellectual station.

He makes me incandescent with rage when he pollutes the soundwaves.

He was exceptionally condescending to Mishal Hussain on the today programme and utterly dishonest in his accusation of breaching the code on impartiality. The facts are that they fucked up. The IMF knows it, the BofE knows it and the market not only knows it but is pricing it in. He's a fuckwit.

Ageneralsenseofproundconcern · 12/10/2022 16:59

And he's not on glue, he's just a fuckwit with no excuse.

A looooooot of voters are obsessed with tugging their forelocks to their 'betters'. They dream of him flinging a farthing their way as he bounces along in his carriage.

JadeSeahorse · 12/10/2022 17:09

He just strikes me as an insufferable snob!

He looks at every interviewer as if they are beneath him. 🤬

Indeed. He looks like he’s cosplaying a Victorian era sweatshop owner.

YANBU, maybe the glue holds the dust together..?

I think the man is evil, not stupid.

And I say this because he gets his wealth from a hedge fund, so can make huge profits from causing chaos and misery to others.

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.

I was about to say that was an unfair accusation for the Fool, but actually....he does throw caution to the wind....

DrBlackbird · 12/10/2022 17:17

this farcical, deluded, mad fucker along with other apt descriptors are making my day Grin
