Tories in chaos
#31

And NOW. the Tories press the 'implode' button.. Putting forward Rees Mogg as the candidate to take over from Theresa May. So far up his own RRR'S that he can barely bring himself to speak. A man of the people.? ..My R's.

That's the guy who's really working hard to win the gay vote, right ... ?

I'm sure you and I could be confident in the future for the GFA with him in charge - after all, it would be back to dealing with the stereotypes of old! From the Belfast Telegraph:
"Mogg is a roaming Monty Python cameo; all briefcase, flappy legs and simmering patriarchal righteousness. He is a Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer-style riff on how our class system thrives, with his six children furnished with the names of 8th Century saints and Anglo-Saxon bishops.
Rees-Mogg says he has never changed a nappy. In 2014 he went canvassing with his former nanny, Veronica, the woman who used to wipe his own bottom. "Rees-Mogg's a walking, talking caricature of poshness, but Mumsnet could propel him all the way to Number 10 - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

One of the descriptions used of him suggests he has an intimate knowledge of female anatomy........However, he obviously has something (or a very busy milkman).

I've been uncertain about the future of the GFA ever since the referendum went for Brexit. Can't see that changing any time soon, sadly.

Given how far they've had their tongue up the arse of the DUP, I was pleasantly surprised by that takedown by the Tele. Though I suppose the Telegraph online is not the same as the Telegraph in print. I did always enjoy the crosswords though, not to mention the coverage of NI sport. Sigh.

Statistics, beloved of the Brexiteers, are not in their favour - things have changed and the Republic is doing rather better than the UK - with GDP, GNP and GNI higher and greater spending on education and health (all per capita, of course). After all these years, it's a bit like realising your dad isn't Superman after all!

Yes, whenever I see the claims of an "open border" and "frictionless trade", I can't help thinking that these are the same people who think you can turn the clock back by leaving the EU. Maybe they think the Republic is going to rejoin the UK, like a Take That reunion!

I've only seen him debate once or twice and if i'm honest I liked him. He came across really well. Posh yes but thats not a crime. he was sensible, grounded and made some decent points. As I say though, I have only seen him speak the once. My mother who's into politics likes him though....

Quite telling isn't it how the Tory rank and file are quietly backing the quirky Victorian pipe cleaner for leader, rather than the erstwhile 'darling of the activists', a once popular character who led the charge and delivered Brexit.

No thanks.
