GO ON GODIVA : World beating 18th century parliamentarian Jacob Rees-mogg has a habit of making a spectacle of himself. And not just with random googled Latin.
All can recall the scintillating turn of phrase he used to describe the booming food bank industry – “quite uplifting”.
And no one can forget what he said regarding the victims of the Grenfell fire disaster, saying they lacked common sense. It was as if he had ripped the sacred bleeding heart from a painting of the Virgin Mother herself and smeared it across his face.
Today too he has taken the headlines with some compassionate and well considered words regarding the death of the British fishing industry via Brexit. The political disaster capitalist project he has championed.
But like any tit on a prize bull he is not stopping now. And not today of all days, as the U.K. topped the world tables in the Covid-19 death stats per 100,000.
It’ll take a world beating performance to distract from that. We reckon he can though. We reckon he’s got what it takes.
“It’s why he will be running down Pall Mall tomorrow stark raving naked,” an aide to the haunted pencil told LCD Views, “whether or not manny will be giving chase? You’ll have to tune in to find out.”
