many Londoners where I live so maybe it was my accent that stuck in his mind. He and I have very little in common but
I can't honestly say that anything about his background really offends me. He's a bit religious I suppose but not preachy
unless questioned on such things, he's for traditional family values, I don't want kids at all. But still we managed to chat
amicably on the subject, he had his son with him when I met him in the street, a polite, bright kid even if he's a
bit of a mini me to his dad. He'll go far anyway, no doubt. Fair play to them all. My wife speaks with what you might call
a fairly posh accent, so I'm quite used to hearing one and wouldn't judge someone harshly for speaking in that way.
Mine... Not so posh.  Also, he was in the street with no apparent security present and no (visible) Police so I think
that says a lot about someone like him who is an easy target for some to vent at. |
You can admire the person even if you don't agree with their politics. He comes over as a genuine guy with a good foundation.

That's not an answer. You apparently claim to have a problem with Rees Mogg's religious views, so if you're not singling him out for being a posh Tory, then you must think all Catholics are twats, because that's what their belief system says.
If you're going to chastise Rees Mogg on his religious beliefs, then going by the same reasoning, you must see all followers of a religion with dubious beliefs as twats. Seeing as Islam is sexist, homophobic and teaches that sex with minors is OK, applying your logic, you must think all Muslims are twats too.
We all know though, that deep down, you're problem with Rees-Mogg is because he's posh and a Tory and nothing to do with him following the Catholic belief system.

I'll have you know that 300yrs ago our family had a Castle(most fallen down now) and we're not (all) Catholic tw@ts.
You cannot read my mind or put words in my mouth.

So all people with castles are Catholic and anti-abortion, but not twats, only posh Tory Catholics are twats for being anti-abortion?
He's following Catholic teachings in being anti-abortion. If you want to call him a twat for this, then all Catholics are twats, along with all Muslims. It's pretty obvious you're just following left wing teaching about hating "posh Tory twats" and really, deep down, it has nothing to do with his Catholic beliefs, as you claim.

I just don't get the hatred for him, other than a type of jealousy from the working class because someone is "posh".
The accent annoys me, but if they work for a living (he does), weren't born into it (he wasn't) and do the job acceptably (I think he talks a lot of sense for a politician, then I'm willing to look past his deep religious beliefs.
I just see why someone should be labelled a twat for having a double barrelled name now, as half of London has one.

Yeah, sure, because anyone whose father is a Baron and ex editor of the Times, can use their history degree to walk into a finance job at an investment bank working directly under some of the largest names in international finance, then miraculously become 'close friends' with the governor of Hong Kong and start a miraculously successful hedge fund management firm back in London.
Yeah, definitely not born into it, definitely worked super hard for his living, and definitely does the job acceptably (what job does he do again?).
I actually agree with you for the most part, he doesn't seem like that bad of a person in any particular way. But it's hilarious that you think he earned his living or his status by any normal route. |

As you say, JRM was "not born into it" he simply married into it!

'That Bad of a Person' Argues his belief in Jesus?
Like all religionists, 11 & a 1/2 penny short of a full schilling.
Lets get these 'intelligent' people out of politics.
Church and State should have such a massive divide that it is relegated to a rank lower than Motorcycle Safety.
The English STILL preach Gawd at high schools as a part of the curriculum.
WTF?
Reese-Morgan's sister was great in that Johnny Cash movie Joaquin Phoenix made though.

"When Rees-Mogg was ten, he was left £50 by a distant cousin, and his father, on his behalf, invested in shares in the now-defunct General Electric Company (GEC). Rees-Mogg ascribes to this event the beginnings of his interest in stock markets. Having learned how to read company reports and balance sheets, he later attended a shareholders' meeting at GEC, where he voted against a motion because dividends were too low. He subsequently invested in London-based conglomerate Lonrho, eventually owning 340 shares, and reportedly caused the company's chairman Lord Duncan-Sandys "discomfort" by quizzing him at an annual general meeting on the low dividends offered to shareholders. In 1981, at a shareholders' meeting of GEC, in which he owned 175 shares at the time, he told the chairman Lord Nelson that the dividend on offer was "pathetic", sparking amusement among board members and the media."
He would have been 12 in 1981.
As for how someone with a history degree goes into international investment banking, I doubt that's particularly unusual for Oxford graduates, especially ones with who made a name for themselves when aged 12.
(The elephant in the room is of course his education at Eton.) |

That says it all. At the age of 10 my dad wouldn't have invested the £50 in shares on my behalf. Instead he would have told me to put it in my Post Office account. By the age of 14 it would have gone on fishing tackle, knobblies and lager.
Around that age I did find £4. I blew it all on sweets.
