Jacob Rees-Mogg (A Brief History of a Moron)

“But Nez!” I hear you shouting upon mymagnificent return. There’s so many worse Tories, why not write about them? Boris? Or Suella? Or just anyone associated with them. There’s also so much going on in the international sphere (the Ukraine War, China’s manoeuvres in the South China Sea, that bloody submarine), I imagine to myself you’re screaming.

Well, if you want to read about that … go to BBC News. Or is that too left wing? Then go to Fox News. Or do they just spread lies? I don’t write about that stuff because it’s all over the news. And people watch/read the news. Furthermore, in the words of the great Denzel Washington: “don’t read the news you’re uninformed, read the news and you’re misinformed.” Thank you Mr. Washington I’ll happily stay uninformed.

Why Groggy Mogg? Ah well, why not. He may not be the worst but we must remember we’re comparing him to tax-dodgers, coke-heads and Liz Truss. Picking the worst would be near impossible – though please feel
free to leave a comment saying your worst.mogg

Back to the Groggster. While some applaud his commitment to traditional values and staunch conservatism, others have raised concerns about his actions and stances on various issues. (By “some” … even I don’t know who I’m referring to). Let’s start where this man’s evil, in politics at least, began. Grenfell.

Don’t worry if you’d forgotten about Grenfell. The government forgot as well. And it’s their job not to forget. What was a shocking national disaster, raising so many issues not just around housing but around compensation, safety and the basic living conditions in this country. We were all appalled! Rees-Mogg wasn’t. Soon after the shocking incident, in 2017, he released a statement claiming that the victims lacked “common
sense” in following fire safety advice. Let that sink in.

Trained first-responders are giving you instructions. You’re building’s on fire. But if you listen to these trained
experts then, according to Mogg, you have no common sense.

If that wasn’t enough … he starts to attack the LGBTQ+ community. Let’s not get into a heated debate about gender identity or whatever, I don’t have time for that and whatever I say about it will offend someone. But when it comes to same-sex marriage the answer seems simple. Not for Mogg. His opposition to same-sex marriage and remarks suggesting that he does not personally support same-sex adoption have been met with outrage from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups and supporters.

Grenfell. Then the homosexual community. THEN we have Rees-Mogg’s views on abortion and contraception. Rees-Mogg, a devout Catholic (since when has that mattered?), has consistently opposed abortion in
all circumstances, including cases of rape and incest. Including rape and incest …

As a likely product of generations of incestuous in-breeding I can understand why he has such a warped mind. But he is not supposed to be looking out for his own family and their in-breeding ways. He is supposed to politically support the people he represents. Those people, we must assume, are either angry about Foggy Mogg’s stance. Or their ignorant to it. Get it? Ignorance is bliss.

His position disregards women’s reproductive rights and restricts access to safe and legal abortions. Additionally, Rees-Mogg has expressed opposition to contraception, advocating for abstinence
instead.

… Is he an InCel?

In the brilliant ‘House of Cards’ a simple political principle is spelt out to the viewers. Politicians have three things to consider when they are casting votes or making speeches. Vote your conscience. Vote your party. Vote for your constituents.

Not for Mogg, however, as he is “one of a kind” … in a VERY special way. He votes his Party; then perhaps he votes his conscience (if he has one). And his constituents?

Screw them. He’s probably laughing at how stupid they were to elect him the first place!
