Jacob Rees-Mogg Moves For Conservative Party Leadership.

Jalima1108, a link was posted in the original response.

I will not engage in continually posting links when forum members do not read the what is already posted

Asking in a polite manner for evidence is exactly what Trisher got. Anything else you read into such simple requests suggest an overactive imagination.

Hahaha lemon China is very bad therefore we must never protest about the UK again because it’s not as bad? Hahahaha

Asking in a polite manner for evidence - you ‘avin a laff? No subtext? No of course not

Lemongrove, Jacob Reece is not in the cabinet because he made it very clear on the Andrew Marr program that he would not accept any position even if offered.

Waiting in the wings for the top job

I thought people were really just asking, in a polite manner, for evidence, and yes, a link would have been interesting.

I think that Theresa May knew exactly what she was doing when she promoted SJ and what his intentions are.

Don't believe all you read in the msm, particularly the DM, Grandad!

There is a huge difference between members of the public
Attacking artwork and the Government.
I think one or two on GN should try living in China for a while, they would then be able to differentiate between styles of government and never protest about the UK again.

It wasn’t you Jal it was the usual suspects. Who incidentally hardly ever have any evidence for anything they post but certainly enjoyed digging away at dj and her links.

Since it was T May who promoted Saviid Javid I should think she knew quite a bit about him.
He is a far , far likelier contender than JRM ( who has never been in the running, or even in the Cabinet.)

She didn’t specify but that doesn’t stop people having a potshot at her
I wasn't taking a potshot and I don't think anyone else was - we have often been asked for 'evidence' on GN as if 'opinion' is not good enough.

trisher do you have any evidence please, as I have not heard of this being Government policy as it is in some other countries.

I was actually talking about the present day Trisher the link maryeliza cites is ironically an exhibition devoted to iconoclasm of past centuries.

God knows there is enough questionable art about but we don’t go imprisoning the artist or shooting them as in the Charlie Hebdo case.

He needs a bit more experience as Home Secretary then could be a contender.

Oh yes SJ threw his hat into the ring a while ago.

I see that Sajid Javidis now changing the Conservative immigration policy without as much as a "by your leave" to Theresa May.

I am now beginning to have some sympathy for Theresa as she looks so isolated as her government continues to fall apart around her.

However, the implications for Britain in the above could not be worse, as the Brexit negotiations seem to be completely stalled on the UK side. In that, having an unstable British government at this point in time does not bode well for anyone residing in this country.

Certainly looks like a another contender throwing his hat into the ring to be a Conservative party leader

She didn’t specify but that doesn’t stop people having a potshot at her

You know sometimes people should google before they ask a question to which they think they know the answer and so take a quick sarky pot shot at someone.

X post maryeliza

I did think that trisher meant now, but perhaps not.

I suppose Henry VIII enjoyed his bouts of destruction which continued during the 150 or so years of the Reformation - does that count? And Oliver Cromwell flogged off much of Charles I's art collection at bargain prices.

Well this will do for starters

Artists in Britain often have their work destroyed if it is considered offensive by some

Would you care to back that up with some hard facts, Trisher?.

Unless Trisha was referring to that art work mocking Jews, the artist certainly wasn’t imprisoned

As far as I am aware the UK government has not ordered the destruction of any artwork. There have been cases when members of the public have objected to artwork but that is not the same thing.

Which artists have had their work destroyed Trisha and which art gallery were they displayed ?

I didn't do any of those things niggly I simply posted that the destruction of art is more widespread than people might think.

I don't think you can compare western democracies to China trisher how ever hard you try!! Try a peaceful demonstration, or practising religion, or watching a film disapproved of by the leader, spitting image?!! I don't think so!! Referring Xi Jinping as the equivalent of Maybot, would probably get you a prison sentence!!
