Any Jacob Rees-Mogg fans here?

I have to admit to a grudging admiration for Jacob Rees-Mogg. No-one does upper class British poshness quite like him. Whatever about his political ideology, he is very entertaining and sometimes I wonder if he's laying it all on a bit?

Looks a right twat to be fair to him.

Richard Hillman

He represents a large section of society and does it very well. All sections of society need to be represented in political life

He has an agenda. All he is doing is to advance his finances IMO to manipulate stocks.

Yes always important to get the views of a clueless toff who'll not really be affected by the Brexit aftermath.

I'm no fan, but that might be a step too far. An outbreak of hives, maybe. A persistent itchy inner ear. A problematic ingrowing nasal hair. Not cancer though.

Opus Dei man as well. He’s such a toff that he can trace his family tree back to way before the reformation, Henry the 8th, Cromwell, and all that business.

He’s also a self-serving prick.

Compared to their younger siblings, the first three really got lucky.

He's actually two years younger than me but has the look of someone who could be my father. Or grandfather. He really does need to lighten the fcuk up.

Cheers, not the reaction I wanted to a genuine and honest desire of mine.

Agreed.
Someone would need to have committed some serious personal harm to you to even think that never mind type it.

Like him or not he's a smart dude, I think despite his retro image he's pretty clued into a certain part of the modern Zeitgeist, the fact that there is a thread here shows how successfully he has used his image e.g responding to protesters so on and social media management e.g the video of him being shown memes about himself, considering at the end of the day he's actually only been a rebellious backbencher for the last 8 years, he has also grown his already substantial lump of cash a lot

Not a fan of his politics though

Hard to believe he's a year younger than Kylie Minogue.
