I don't think it was fair to target his children but they don't really seem like ordinary folk do they?

Jalima1108 Wed 12-Sept-18 18:55:53

I think that Nanny looks more like a valued member of the family now than a paid employee.
If she wasn't happy she would have left very many years ago.

What a vile man he is. Ian Bone I mean.

Jalima1108 Wed 12-Sept-18 18:53:42

I was struck by how different the family appears to anybody I have ever known. I wish there was a delete button.

oldbatty, I though you meant Ian Bone, then re-read it and realised you mean Jacob R-M.

The same could go for Ian Bone too.

Jalima1108 Wed 12-Sept-18 18:51:42

^Activist Ian Bone, wearing a flat cap and leaning on a stick, was filmed shouting: 'Your daddy won't answer the question.
'Your daddy is a totally horrible person.^
'A lot of people don't like your daddy, you know that. No he's probably not told you about that.'
The grandfather and father-of-five added: 'A lot of people hate him.'

Is this the Ian Bone who has a degree but has never worked a day in his life, preferring to live off benefits and tried to incite anarchy?

I apologise if it is not the same person.

If he were a member ab loyalist Chukka would have told us all by now

oldbatty Wed 12-Sept-18 18:26:21

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

" And just to remind you it was a Labour MP who was assassinated by an ardent supporter of the far right - you know the Steve Bannon type that Johnson consorts with. But I expect you smug right wing lot think IB’s unacceptable behaviour was devised by JC. ".
-
I held back from using the murder of Jo Cox and you are correct to say it was a far right supporter who murdered her.

The difference is there is no defence of the far right b-----d who killed Jo Cox by anybody right or left of politics.

Even if politics were removed from the equation if a person believes what is going on with the likes of Ian Bone and the vile, abusive hatred that is flourishing in society is OK / acceptable I think they are either a supporter of such behaviour and see nothing wrong with it or lacking in moral compass.

Being confronted by a mob is extremely frightening for adults never mind young children. Whatever sort of people are these to accost and terrify a young family and their Nanny. They're just awful, what else can you say!
I can't see that it is anybodies business except their parents, what they choose to call their children! It's all down to personal choice and not for others to comment on.

Chewbacca Wed 12-Sept-18 18:18:38

What on earth has it got to do with anybody what he's called his children? Did any of you, who are critical of his children's names, check with the public before you named your children? Do any of you think your parents checked to see if the name they gave you was ridiculous, or pompous or just plain funny? Jeez, I have no truck with JRM's political views but leave his kids, and their names, out of it. difficult to believe grandparents can be so childish and petty

Anniebach Wed 12-Sept-18 18:17:55

How do you know he isn’t a member of the Labour Party or Momentum maryeliza?

POGS Wed 12-Sept-18 18:12:24

oldbatty

That's a fair question !

That brings into play a persons religious beliefs and there appears to be a dislike of a person holding a christian / Catholic belief by many .

As long as that person makes clear that is his/her opinion as a devout Catholic and accepts others hold a different view I find no issue with an individual having neither a faith nor opinion in opposition to mine.

KatyK Wed 12-Sept-18 18:09:03

What a horrible man, that Bone person I mean. Rees-Mogg should have taken his children inside when this tirade began.

maryeliza54 Wed 12-Sept-18 18:07:39

Ian Bone describes himself as an anarchist - he is not part of Momentum or the Labour Party. And just to remind you it was a Labour MP who was assassinated by an ardent supporter of the far right - you know the Steve Bannon type that Johnson consorts with. But I expect you smug right wing lot think IB’s unacceptable behaviour was devised by JC.

Anniebach Wed 12-Sept-18 18:06:15

His moral code batty , I doubt all of us here share the same moral codes , I am troubled about abortion laws and others fully support abortion on demand , doesn’t make one better or worse than the other, just different views

oldbatty Wed 12-Sept-18 17:58:53

What moral code suggests a female victim of rape must continue with the pregnancy?

POGS Wed 12-Sept-18 17:49:44

They don't because they have no moral code.

Anniebach Wed 12-Sept-18 17:41:03

But where do Class Activists draw a line ?

oldbatty Wed 12-Sept-18 17:35:26

so anyway, what can he offer us as a potential PM?

Griselda Wed 12-Sept-18 17:25:34

I think the man who harangued the children behaved despicably. The little boy looked quite frightened. If a big man had talked to my child like that I can't imagine what I would have done.

The child should not have been dragged into his politics whether you agree with him or not.

TerriBull Wed 12-Sept-18 17:25:15

Whatever dislike these Class Activists have towards JRM they should have not approached his children, completely unacceptable, these people don't appear to have any boundaries whatsoever.

Anniebach Wed 12-Sept-18 17:08:32

It has been in the last couple of years , one can understand what councillors face at some council meetings , so much envy and hate

POGS Wed 12-Sept-18 16:58:46

Beau

" That Peter Bone or whatever his name is should have been arrested by the policeman standing there looking dumb - if that was not a 'hate crime' what is? Verbally abusing children though - disgraceful."

I agree but Peter Bone is a Conservative MP I think you mean Ian Bone.

Having never heard of either ' Class War ' or Ian Bone they seem to fit right in with the class war behaviour and rhetoric of the 1980's which has over the last couple of years had a resurgence and been given a revived platform by the rise of Jeremy for Leader / Momentum party.

Anniebach Wed 12-Sept-18 16:49:29

It certaintly was a hate crime, I am horrified that children and an adult were subjected to this .

It comes from envy , he is wealthy this makes him and his family targets

oldbatty Wed 12-Sept-18 16:44:16

What do you think he could offer as PM ?

Beau Wed 12-Sept-18 16:40:15

I did not type the word 'allowing' ?

POGS Wed 12-Sept-18 16:40:00

Hmm names

I remember the ignorant who thought Posh and Becks were pretentious or plain daft calling their daughter Harper.

Inverted snobbery is as telling as snobbery.
