Jacob Rees-Mogg speaks for the 17.4 Million Patriotic People that voted for BREXIT.

[@petermoxham2625]

vjab1108 - Patriots? Since when has being a racist been patriotic, since when has being stupid, unable to understand facts and data been patriotic, since when has believing a bunch of liars, charlatans, crooks and thieves been patriotic. Will you be explaining to the families of workers who lose their jobs that it is okay because they have lost their jobs for patriotism? Brexit is dumb, we are going to lose except the disaster fund managers who have funded leave and who have Mogg, Farage, Redwood, etc in their pockets.

[@tylerdurden3722]

@@ADoseofEntertainment When you judge people on irrelevant factors, it's called discrimination. E.g. if you're making a film about an African-American slave it is not considered discrimination to factor in the skin color of an ethnic Norwegian who might decide to audition. But, it would be discrimination if you judged that person not capable of the role based on infidelity in their private life. Previous infidelity in one's private life is not a factor when judging whether an individual possesses the competence to lead government. It is equally as irrelevant as skin color, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, who your ancestors were, etc. Those things are not relevant when determining competency. If you consider irrelevant factors of a person, as a determining factors, because you personally find it distasteful, it qualifies as discrimination.

[@Saddamuel]

Rees-Mogg isn't saying that abortion is moral when Boris' lover has one, he's saying it is immoral but it's a matter between him and god. I'm perfectly happy to have someone make a distinction between the public and private. I'm satisfied if a person can respect that their religion shouldn't impose on others and that "we sinners" can nonetheless be good people and good leaders. This strikes me as wilful misunderstanding in order to try and score political points. It was like the attacks on Tim Farron who accepted secularism in politics but nonetheless had his own private morality. If he was a Muslim this might be labeled Islamophobia. You're welcome to dislike him for his personal morality but I think it's churlish to think someone unfit to govern simply because they have private values.

He also never said brexit means brexit, and that also doesn’t correlate with his abortion stance.

Come on Jacob we would love you to be PM xx

[@berylann1372]

Why do interviewers go on and on and on about JRM's views with regard to Boris Johnson's snd others: private lives? It seems to me to be insular to the point of ignorance. What we want is an intelligent, influential PM who will make Great Britain and Northern Ireland great again. Who cares about politicians' private views? We have the islands at stake. Let's focus on what matters now.

Jason Hunter took him apart. Eton can give the rich a superb education, however it what it can't do is make somebody who is thick intelligent.

A truly exceptional performance by JRM. The way that he effortlessly and calmly maintains his own position and is not drawn into the anti BoJo frenzy of everyone else, is really quite exemplary. The handling of the less than intellectual and clearly biased lady is also first class. I particularly love the use of "that's making a leap in logic".

MOGG THE MONG

[@peterjack4922]

Continually missing the point? Mogg did his usual ducking and diving routine. Granted he keeps it cool, trained well at Eton, Eton being a college where parents pay a lot of money, and subsidised by us, to buy their boys a place in the elite society. They never really have to work to put bread on the table.

[@peterjack4922]

Well coached Old Etonian, even when asked about his offshore tax havens he comes across calmly except when asked about the £7million he has made since Brexit then he replied indignantly " it is nobodies business" yes it is Mr Mogg you don't pay your proper share of taxes to the country

[@peterjack4922]

@Pete Coventry Eton was founded by HenryV1 as a charity College to give education to 70 poor children but like everything in life the Elite and Very Rich take over. Eton would face a £4.1 million for business rates over the next five years if it did not hold Charitable Status. Yes WE Plebs subsidies all fee paying schools, children whom many go onto getting involved in Offshore Tax Haven Scams with the blessing of Govt.

[@peterjack4922]

@Pete Coventry You were asking about Charity Status not about who became MP's.but it is interesting that in VERY RECENT times we have had the Disastrous David Cameron,MP , Rees Mogg the tax dodger, and of course the Corrupt, Lying Tin Pot Boris. Cameron and Boris two who were members of the Bullingdon Diners Club when at Oxford, one of their pass times being to go into Oxford, smash up the restaurant they were eating in then their fathers, rather than see them arrested would write out a big cheque to the restaurant owner. Of course there was their other pass time, snorting the cocaine. Not true, all well documented for you to check.

[@leewhite344]

Notice how Vine tries to reign Mogg in by saying we are talking about Boris, but it was him who brought up abortion... Has Mogg even said someone who has had an abortion couldn't run the country? No.

AntPDC all this forelock tugging usually leaves me surprised. Skill of debate is not strength of argument. A man who votes and tries to legislate on personal judgment of what is right or wrong - which, it can be argued, is what consciousness is- is in a bit of a pickle when it comes to arguing that he does not judge the people around him on their actions. But I grant you, he developed quite a facade of consistency.

[@clemalford9768]

@@peterjack4922 Yes that is the traditional belief in the UK that the Labour party and the Unions represented the interests of the working class. It may have been at certain points in the UK's history but there are maybe one ot two really memorable things which were countered strangley by the Tories!! Labour and the NHS (I was born before its formation) and even then there was opposition from some quaters of the Labour party! I heard one argument was made that it was formed to keep the fighting men from the working classes fit for war duty abroad. My sister was born 10 years later and fortunately for my mother and my sister were treated at the point of use as the birth was complex and expensive! On housing issues who built the most council houses. Ironically Harold MacMillan. How Macmillan built 300,000 houses a year | Conservative Home www.conservativehome.com/.../how-macmillan-built-300000-houses-a-year.ht... ... the 1951 election, Churchill summoned Harold Macmillan to Chartwell. ... Macmillan was not a housing expert, but he was a successful ... More recently we had the UK involved in a war with Iraq. A Labour party that colluded with the neo cons in Washington and Blair's lies with the dodgy dossier. That is why I don't support any party but try to look objectively. I just feel the history of the Labour party is chequered with opportunism and lies to support it by becoming a member. Now it has made a pack with the Islamists for votes. A party that overlooked Tony Benn as leader who was a highly educated man, an herditary peer and who gave it up to be a vanguard of democracy, was shameful of the left. At least the Tories make no secret about who they represent. They are honest bastards.
