Rees Mogg lying down.

Since it is, I might as well put my four penneth (old fashioned Derbyshire word) in. I agree totally with Saetana, and with the main gist of Loislovesstewie.
If any of you think for one minute that MPs, all of them, care one jot about you or me, you’re in cloud cuckoo land. MPs care about themselves, that’s why they vote themselves larger than inflation pay rises, it’s why they flip their houses, it’s why their pensions are so generous, it’s why they fiddle their expenses. I could go on, it you get the point.
It’s why 58 MPs and Lords will never vote for Brexit if we were offered gold plated crowns for every citizen, because they are being paid by the EU (farmers apparently.) And it’s why Corbyn has suddenly changed course, he sniffs the scent of personal power.

Good heavens, is this thread still rolling on?

Just another lying Tory

It is indeed Lois, another world. I was trying to think of politicians who seemed to have a handle on real life. I wondered about John Major who I believe came from fairly humble beginnings.

And I DON'T consider him to be a gentleman either!

It's the arrogance of an upper class twit! Us minions just don't count and quite frankly I think he is so far up his own bottom and out of touch with reality that he doesn't realize that this is the way he comes across. He has no clue about the realities of life for the ordinary person and thinks that he can behave exactly as he wants. It is a sad fact of life that MP's mostly live in a bubble , a lot of them have never worked at a proper job where they are aware of the issues faced by ordinary people. It doesn't stop them making legislation which might have a detrimental effect on poor people, neither do they feel any sense of responsibility for their actions in so doing, they can leave with a nice fat pension , carry on being on the boards of various companies and their lifestyles carry on as before. The lolling on his seat just about sums it up; had I done that my mother would have verbally and physically punished me. But then, I am working class!

Where is his integrity, honesty, truth, respect or decency? What gives him the right to display such behavior? He has complete contempt for us. Sadly I am not surprised.

Even more disgraceful than his lying down was his abuse of parliamentary privelege to attack Dr David Nicholls who wrote part of the Yellowhammer report warning that people could die because of lack of drugs if a no deal brexit is not averted.

MPs were talking to him, asking him questions, he decided to lie down in boredom and ignore them. Tom Brake MP who was speaking to him at the time asked if he wanted a pillow? It was clearly arrogance and I suspect some immaturity about what are acceptable boundaries. In other words bad manners.

It would be appalling if wrong decisions about the country are made just because some people have short attention spans and no patience and, therefore, find the most important political decision of their lifetime "tedious". Maybe they switch over to Love Island or the latest on the royal family, if they want excitement in their lives.

He has made an apology. It was a terrible thing to say.

I think he was making a point about the tedium of the constant arguing over Brexit. Nobody is saying anything new, no-one is going to change their minds - this has been dragging on for more than 3 years now. Time our useless parlimentarians pulled their fingers out of their collective asses (with a few notable exceptions) and get on with delivering the result of the 2016 referendum. The constant whining about prorogation is pointless - they have had more than three years to sort this out and a few extra days will make zero difference. Hoping for a general election very soon - I'm sure some of the remain MPs representing constituencies with large leave majorities will find the chickens coming home to roost - perched and watching the drama unfold

GG13- really- pull the other one

He is protected by Parliamentary Privilege, the coward.

I have written to
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
to express my sincere disappointment and show my support for doctors across the country, particularly
@djnicholl
.

Doctors are amongst the most trusted people in our country; it is worth listening to what they have to say with respect.

Indeed- a nasty package of it all- very linked to the OP.

The fact that folk will vote for BJ doesn’t make him “right” or “good”, folk vote for dictators all the time. JRM lolls and insults the doctor who was tasked to explain the consequences of no deal, by comparing him to Andrew Wakefield. Because he did it in the HOC he has parliamentary privilege, so the doctor has asked him to repeat it outside the HOC. Doctors in general furious. This has everything to do with the OP, it is the same disrespectful man.

oh I have a few massive ones for the back kitchen - where we help cook for 40 on reg basis, thanks. Would do the job nicely, ta.

A spoon may be more appropriate for you jura2 ?

oh let's have a spade- and dig a ditch Labaik ;)

Oh Lessismore ?
A man is lounging in the HOC ..a quite separate thing from anything that man said or did.

have a quick google and get back to us maybe?

Are you spoiling for a fight Labaik?
I didn’t see or hear about JRM/ doctor other than a few posters on GN decrying it.What does it have to do with me?
Do you mistake me for a fan of JRM and all that he does?
I have a busy life outside GN and am not glued to tv or radio all day.Is that OK with you?

How can there be no connection? Of course there is. The man lying down is the same man who said dreadful things about a neurosurgeon.

That is a connection.
