Fucking twat thinks we're dumb enough to swallow his bullshit.

Sadly a lot of us are.

[Cyclist]

The number of people prepared to swallow that shit is coming down at the same rate as the number of people who are waking up to the fact that Johnson's Brexit is a crock of shit are going up, and they can't hide behind Covid for ever.

[Nigredo]

Oh.

EDIT: Here's a bit of catharsis for us all

I see he's going after civil servants now.

[Cyclist]

The jobs he's going after are 'hostilities only'. Posts created for overseeing Brexit and the Covid pandemic. It's a bit early to be thinking of doing away with them just yet, but they were never intended to be permanent anyway.

What gets me about this is why a minister for Brexit opportunities is interfering with Cabinet Office responsibilities. The Civil Service is the Cabinet Office's responsibility, not some jumped -up junior Trade Minister with a non-job created as a reward for being a good dog and dancing to his master's tune.

[Andy McDandy]

It's like Callaghan and his ministers for crises. Job one - maintain the illusion of progress to keep the Sun readers happy.

The easy targets. That's all they ever do go for,

Jacob Rees-Mogg opposes fur and foie gras ban as it 'limits personal choice'

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/ ... 303364.amp

The law says I can't whack supercilious Tory cunts with a cricket bat - that's limiting personal choice too.


Edit: I have just learned that 3 weeks ago JR-M sold £44.5 million of shares in Sberbank, one of the institutions his chum Boris sanctioned yesterday.

Hmmmm...

Rees-Mogg says Ukraine war has shown that Partygate scandal was just 'disproportionate fluff'

Nice Jacob, I bet the grieving families of 179,000 lost souls feel so much better for that

[Boiler]

This is how the renaissance of Johnson begins.

This is how the renaissance of Johnson begins.

Did anyone really think that minor things such as lying to Parliament and breaking the law would be a resignation issue? This is Brexit Britain we're talking about.

[Nigredo]

They'll be blowing raspberries at Fritzy and laugh at all his anally-retentive rules and regulations.

From today's Guardian live feed:

Jacob Rees-Mogg told Andrew Marr to “get a sense of perspective” this evening, after the broadcaster described the “intense anger” he felt at the death of his father.

Marr, who presents the LBC show Tonight with Andrew Marr, told the Cabinet minister:

I buried my father on the week that one of those parties took place and it was a party. He was an elder of the Church of Scotland – that church was locked and barred. We had a small gathering, most of the family weren’t there. The other parishioners he would have loved to be there weren’t allowed to be there because we followed the rules. And I felt intensely angry about that – and I do not regard this as fluff.”

Rees-Mogg told Marr that while he believed closing churches during Covid was a “great mistake”, he did not regret using the word “fluff” to describe partygate allegations.

“What is happening now two years on against what’s going on in Ukraine, what is going on with the cost of living crisis, one has to get a sense of perspective,” Rees-Mogg said.

“What is going on in Ukraine is fundamental to the security of the Western world.

“And you are comparing this to a fine issued for something that happened two years ago.”

He added: “I think we need to look at what is fundamental to the security of our nation and the security of the Western world.”

Marr told the Brexit opportunities minister that what happened to him “happened to so many others up and down the country.”

“We find, I would say, that word ‘fluff’ quite offensive”, he said.

But Mr Rees-Mogg replied: “I still think that in comparison with the war in Ukraine… a fine for something that happened two years ago is not the most pressing political matter”.

“The Daily Mail headline said ‘don’t forget there’s a war on’ and this is something we have to remember - we need a sense of perspective”.

Maybe that cunt has a different Bible to me: one that doesn't include Matthew 19:24...

Apparently the BBC came in for further criticism by the Tories as they banged the table in the 1922 Committee meeting.

Why don't any of the Journos respond to "Yeah but Ukraine" with "Why did Johnson ennoble an Oligarch? Why has your party consistently chased the Londongrad pound and why did you appoint a chief adviser with a record of 3 lost years in Moscow"

[kreuzberger]

Personally and to hell with my career, I would have fucking lamped Rees Mogg and stamped on his kidneys. "There, here's a sense of perspective."

[Malcolm Armsteen]

I hope you would have separated his kiddleys from his unnatural frame before foot-flattening them...
