    Having just watched the interview of old Moggy and been denied the chance to comment I will comment now. On what planet does he believe he is living on and as for blaming the French for the delays at Dover did he not understand what being a 3rd country means? As he categorically said that after Brexit there will not be queues at Dover why did they build the lorry parks? The man really is a piece of work! No he is definitely not a superior human.

    I've spent a lot of time living and working abroad and it always amazed me coming home. Life, or making your way in life, always seemed so much harder here than in comparable countries. And it ties in with the whole class thing that has been bred into us, it seems. People seem to have this notion that life should be hard, that if you're not prepared to struggle then you have some kind of moral deficiency. The UK is full of people that don't particularly like each other is also something I heard and believe to be true. Brexit didn't cause division, it simply shone a light on what was already there.

    Thank you for this. It should be replayed in schools, clubs & pubs ad infinitum. 😉

    James, that idiot JRM, is wired like that. He cannot be reprogrammed. He is right at bottom of the obsolete androids. At least a sentient has emotional feelings. Moggsy has only nanny. In a way I feel some pity for him.

    "although to be fair to Rees-Moggs I think his maternal granddad was a van driver or something". Subtle beauty.

    JRM is a strict Catholic, (as well as born with a silver spoon in his mouth and Eton/Oxford educated) Think about what that means. It feeds into a lot of his policies, as it does with Ann Widdecombe. NB many Catholics have moved with the times and are perfectly sensible, reasonable, people, but that is not the case with those two.

      He believes in lifelong marriage between a man and a woman and the sanctity of human life from conception to death. Those are worthy aspirations for any creed or nationality.

    Apart from Rees-Mogg who revels in his "upper class twit of the year" role many Tories expend a great deal of effort trying to portray themselves as having risen to their exalted level from humble origins through hard work and merit. The current two buffoons competing for the Tory leadership being classic examples of this. I think they do it so that they can point to ordinary folk and say it's their own fault if they are poor, hungry, destitute, homeless, reliant of food-banks, etc.

      If you're such a fan that you know where he lives and how his local area feel about him then I wouldn't expect you to agree with me. Secret admirer maybe? ;)

    I can’t say Ive ever felt persuaded Im inferior to JRM.
    However every time I hear JOB I feel he’s preaching down to me and thinks he knows better.
