Rees Mogg. Words almost fail me.

Why can't people read between the lines?
The denotative meaning is the concrete or literal meaning, whilst the connotative meaning is the associated or figurative meaning. An inability to read between the lines is generally evidence that the reader is unable to apprehend any connotative meaning beyond the literal.

Lucca and Alegrias1 I'm obviously thick as well, what can you expect from a state education, but do you really apprehend any connotative meaning beyond the literal. ? Surely you comprehend ?

Well I did not understand the point of it in this context and I confess to having had both a private and a state education….

I had to laugh at this Instagram or Tweet whatever one calls it

No idea who votes for him. He seems to wander around in an airy way with no grip upon reality

I am surely a bad person because that photo made me think of Ray Alan and Lord Charles.

Off now to have a good look in the mirror and a hard think about my life.

I assume this is referring to what used to be called the subtext. In this case I suppose the subtext could infer that those refugees who don't like France because of the garlic are linked to vampires who are of course afraid of garlic. Mind the other view could be that as the English are known for their dislike of garlic the refugees are essentially English (but I don't think this was JRM's intention).

He's Grade A prat wherever he was educated.

His supporters will applaud him because he's linked LP supporters with those who have tattoos and piercings.
Odious man.

If you post links or pictures, would you mind making sure that the writing is actually large enough to be read by those of us who wear glasses?

THere have lately been a number of posters who must be blessed with completely normal eyesight judging by the things they confidently expect us to be able to see.

This is of course nice for you, but not so funny for the rest of us.

Well obviously we need to keep all the garlic chewing Johnny Foreigners back on the other side of the channel. Don't want them messing with our Great British potage do we? Lovely root vegetables just tasting slightly muddy, but only a few groats a bowl for the deserving poor. The undeserving poor will just have to go back to sheep rustling.

I'd love to see "Nanny's Little Soldier" up against DD (Not only state school, but village school!) who could run endless rings round him - in Latin if he wished.

I agree that he is an incompetent fool.
I do not agree that a private education made him this way.

I think the French could certainly apply the first syllable of connotative to Jacob Rees-Mogg. ???

If you mean my quote from Hansard, I couldn’t enlarge it but if you click on it you can then expand it.

I need glasses and always manage to expand images on my iPad, so it is not done to annoy .

Indeed !

Il m'emmerde aussi!

I don't think a private education improved him in anyway. My very nice neighbour sent her son to a private boarding school because they were running a course for dyslexic boys. When he came home for the holidays all he was interested in was how much other people's possessions had cost. Certainly not something he learnt from his mother.

Rees Mogg is loathsome, but I found a lot more of concern watching PM questions - Boris’s exchange with Angela Rayner. One of the subjects was the imminent massive hike in energy bills. Boris made it perfectly clear they’ve no intention of removing VAT or green taxes to ease the situation, but instead of a proper discussion acknowledging that hard working people across the UK are going to face catastrophic bills which will force many to choose once again between food and heat, it descended into the usual slanging match with animal noises from the rest of the house. Disgusting.

It looks as if he has a green metal artificial leg below the knee
