Jacob Rees Mogg

How much longer can I stay with this party run by racists and thugs

Then they should hang their heads in shame Jalima

Who should, Chewbacca? The LP? See my post above...

I also think the tories should hang their heads in shame at the mendacious JRM....

He has considerable links to Corbyn’s Labour Party.

There are unpleasant people in all the parties, I suspect. I'm sure that the Labour party won't be proud of this particular person.

I didn't express my disapproval of his actions in relation to JRM's children in my previous post because I was posting in a hurry. I express it now.

Then they should hang their heads in shame Jalima . Could someone just remind me of the details of JC's speech in which he promised never to get involved in "the politics of personal attacks because he was forging a new, more decent and honest political campaign"? I'm sure I heard that somewhere......

The principal harasser of Jacob Rees-Mogg’s family and children outside his home yesterday was Ian Bone of an organisation called Class War. He has considerable links to Corbyn’s Labour Party.
Shadow Cabinet ministers John McDonnell and Richard Burgon joined with Class War on a protest just last week in SW1, where they brandished the very same banner that they took to Rees-Mogg’s family home. The UVW union proudly featured it all in a promotional video.

Should it be treated as a 'hate crime'?

Bone is not above living off benefits, even if he could, with his degree, earn a good living to support himself and his large family.

Age has not mellowed university graduate Ian Bone. Almost all his life has been devoted to waging war on the rich while claiming benefits funded by their taxes.

He has five children - I wonder what their names are?

Well I care about the abuse by the likes of Ian Bone and the other anonymous cowards who attacked his home.

It was indefensible to verbally attack Rees-Moggs children but when are we going to accept this is not acceptable behaviour , full stop.!

By saying ' the children ' should not have experienced this sort of hate speech is tantamount to saying an adult should expect to put up with it.

No they should not and the colour of the political party the MP or Councillor comes from should have no bearing on this .

This is not a freedom of speech being stopped scenario but pure bile , hatred and abuse should not be seen as the norm and I worry that we have become so complacent this has already happened.

The last Prince of Wales could have been an alien too; I doubt that anyone did a blood test on him.

I'm an alien too.

I don't care what JRM calls his children, I don't care what his beliefs are on abortion so long as he doesn't try to impose them on other people, I don't care what he sounds like or about the fact that he is wealthy.
Absolutely, MaizieD, it's his political beliefs that people should be concerned about.

And I don't care what Jeremy called his children either. I rather like it.

I don't care what JRM calls his children, I don't care what his beliefs are on abortion so long as he doesn't try to impose them on other people, I don't care what he sounds like or about the fact that he is wealthy.

I do care that he is deliberately misleading people about the 'benefits' of a 'no deal' Brexit, that he seems happy to reignite the Troubles in NI by imposing border checks on people in NI, and that he is hypocritically shielding his company from the effects of his beloved Brexit by opening an office in Dublin.

Jalima, I am an alien ? Sob, I hoped I was descended from the last Prince of Wales

Absolutely not. After all, Corbyn's son has quite a posh name too. Has anyone noticed?
In fact, Jeremy is quite a posh name.

They are not fair game but he is.

Very true Jalima! But these same people would be cut to the bone if someone sneered and judged the names that they have given to their children and grandchildren. But JRM is in the public domain so maybe his children are considered to be fair game?

^ difficult to believe grandparents can be so childish and petty^
Oh come on Chewbacca - how long have you been on GN? Surely you realised that some can

We have some very odd names in our family. Someone used one of them not so long ago as an example of upper class types

I should have added a at your post!

Not ordinary people? Are they Martians ?

Possibly Anniebach, although I would have to carry out a blood test to find out.
Apparently those who have RhNeg blood are aliens.

"Moggy favoured the Trumpian path, as previously colonised by Boris Johnson over that mythical £350m per week for the NHS. After the lie had been rigorously debunked, he aggressively doubled down on it."

varian, what lies has JRM told? I thought he had always been honest about his choice to leave the EU, he hasn’t done ‘a Clegg’ .

Agree sorry.

Bullying a more vulnerable peroson for any reason is totally unacceptable especially when that person is a child.

You many not aged with JRM beliefs but the point is they are his beliefs. This is not the same as an opinion it is a belief in faith and cannot be easily dismissed.

He is what he is. Whether you like him or not how he dresses, what he names his children and what he believes in are him. You get what you see. Unlike so many politicians ( in all parties) who change their beliefs according to what they think will get them the most votes or try to hide their opinions so that others won't know what they really think.

As kitty already mentioned annie is not a minority of one. I too agree in thinking JRM as a man of principles. We may not like them but we know what they are.

I agree that nobody should target the children of any politician, even an evil and odious lying politician.

Children should be protected from knowing the truth about their father, no matter how awful he is he is still their father.

I was not referring to the individual who pestered the children. I was talking in general terms about people who are angry because they have no way out.

What a horrible thing to do, involving the children like that. Jacob for PM!

Maryeliza, I doubt not one person could name every member of a party

oldbatty said I suppose vile abusive hatred is flourishing in some people. It is very hard to be pleasant when you are starving though

I don't think Mr. Bone or any of the rag tag of "protesters" who were cowardly enough to shout at small children were starving. Mr. Bone has never contributed anything to society.
