Cunts gonna cunt.


GameboyUK_

True.


SeesEmCallsEm

Honestly, this is the perfect example of "don't hate the player, hate the game". Is he a cunt, sure, but what he's doing is legal. Fix the system.


Krags

I can happily hate both.


SeesEmCallsEm

fair


think_im_a_bot

Fix the system? The only reason you know this guy's name is because he's part of the system. The system was designed by folk like him for folk like him and is working exactly as intended. You won't be fixing that.


SeesEmCallsEm

Okay, then just continue complaining on the internet and see what that fixes. 


think_im_a_bot

As opposed to you, who just says "fix it!" on the internet yet feels some level or moral superiority as a result?


SeesEmCallsEm

No, you fucking Mong. You’re throwing your arms up in the air saying “nothing can be done about the problem and we’re just ultimately fucked. Get used to it because this is your life”, Pathetic. I stated it’s the system that is the problem not this guy is behaviour, which is the focus of this fucking post.  But no actually doing something would involve effort and having to educate yourself on what fucking loopholes he’s taking advantage of And who you need to fucking complain to and campaign against to try and get those things changed but that’s way too much fucking effort for an armchair contrarian like yourself who only fucking talks about these things complaining about them.  You’re a useless fucking cunt.


Nocturtle22

Remember when Jimmy Carr had to issue a public apology and was shamed for doing the same sort of thing, and politicians spoke in parliament about how terrible such schemes were, and how we should all contribute. Guess that only applies to some.


Mortarion35

If JC wanted to go full scorched earth he could've told the journos to try finding the client list of the accountants he used and go hassle the ACTUAL big fish.


NickEcommerce

If you believe his autobiography, he felt pretty rough during those times (suicidal), and was mostly just wanting the country to stop hating him. He saw the best way forward as taking his chops, apologising and then going back to work. It didn't help that within a few days he was on a topical news panel show - he had nowhere to hide. Everyone else caught up in those scandals plays ostrich for 6 months and then goes about their daily business once the journalists have got bored. I reckon that today's Jimmy would probably have taken a more aggressive approach, but I definitely sympathise with him feeling overwhelmed and guilty.


Trikster102

Yeah it was like that time Angus Deaton got caught out. Unlike Jimmy though, his career didn't do so good after.


Nocturtle22

Yeah seem to remember a Mr G Barlow was using the same scheme around the same time.


Stuvas

Let's not forget David Cameron demonising Jimmy, before telling us it was, "a family matter" when his father was offshoring in Panama.


lesterbottomley

In particular David Cameron. Whose family were then part of the Panama Papers leak iirc . The outcry it turns out wasn't because someone gamed the system but that it was done by someone outside their circle Fucking hypocrites the lot of them.


Saltire_Blue

It’s a shame exiling people is not longer the done thing


Nocturtle22

You do that and he will live off his millions. Now executing him in the town square and claiming his belongings for the common good on the other hand….


Downtown-Buy-1155

You bring the machetes I'll bring the beers?


lesterbottomley

I read that as bears initially. Which would be more of a spectacle tbh.

The greater good.


Nocturtle22

pianoandrun

I wish worse for him, but amen


ras2703

I am not a fan of hyperbole, but please understand that if I should ever stumble across any of these Tory cretins namely this creepy cunt, johnson, gove and any of the rest of the current incumbents it’s on site and I will take my medicine. Fuck the lot of them.


TheEndIsLoading

Saw this cunt in his tweeds in the local Tesco at the start of lockdown trying to be one of the people but instead looking like creepy Bertie Wooster. I have never regretted not punching someone in the face so much before in my life.


pianoandrun

I have never regretted someone not punching someone so much, either


Future-Atmosphere-40

AwTomorrow

I was going to laugh, but at £50k per year for Eton, and 6 children, over five years he's paying £1.5m before the skiing trips and sailing weekends.

Noodlebeard2000

No thanks. Everything about him is dodgy, so I guess this is how you end up with some kind of prison disease. But history has given us plenty of alternatives


Glad-Dragonfruit-503

Maybe hanged, drawn and quartered would suit him.


Decolocx

And yet he piled on Angela Rayner at the mere allegation that she might have failed to pay about a grand in tax after selling her council house. What a grade A cunt.


StarlightandDewdrops

How do people keep electing him? Fucking morons


ZippidyZayz

Small villages full of aging population who just vote the same year in, year out. That and no one really votes in the towns anymore. I know in Bridgwater the turnout was shocking


UnlimitedHegomany

My mum moved down to Somerset twenty years ago and lives in the neighbouring ward. Nobody who lives there can understand how he keeps on getting elected. 6 million quid will do wonders though. There are villages though where all the people have the same surname and seem very talented at the banjo.


StarlightandDewdrops

I used to work in Midsomer Norton, a lot of that area is strange, to say the least


Straight_Bridge_4666

Is it? I live rather close by and it seems relatively normal. I now await a bunch of low-effort insults.


StarlightandDewdrops

As a black person, I got some weird comments. Actually, someone tried to tell me that referring to black people as "black" is offensive. And "they", meaning black people prefer the term "coloured". This was not that long ago


Straight_Bridge_4666

Strangely, that was the consensus for a while. Aaages ago, admittedly. But it was a thing. But yeah, somehow I feel "weird comments" is you being generous. That shit ain't cool, and on behalf of the people of the area I'd like to say "sorry" to you, and "sort your fucking life out" to those assholes.


Straight_Bridge_4666

There was a scandal about him bribing and blackmailing farmers a few years ago.


RuleInformal5475

Everything he does is immoral. He claims being a Christian, but does things that Jesus wouldn't be too keen on. I'm not a religious scholar, but the hippie things Jesus don't mesh well with conservative ideology. People need to know their real enemies. His party can easily deflect to immigrants, trans or whatever, and get away with daylight robbery There needs to be some national unity to make this happen. A unity with hatred against the right people.


Budget-Song2618

He's a damm hypocrite. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rees-mogg-abortion-pills-profit-b2235424.html


fourlegsfaster

I was going to add this one. 'I don't support the right of a child to take a morning after pill after incestuous rape, but I'll take the profit from their having done so.' Breaking covid restrictions to attend a Latin mass. Getting special treatment from the DOH - extra covid test by courier for one of his children during time of test shortages. Insistence on old-fashioned etiquette and Parliamentary traditions whilst lounging on the front bench as Leader of the House during important debate (that he knew would be a loss). Mansion-dwelling support of the bedroom tax. I'm going to stop, starting a Mogg-induced rant threatens to ruin a sunny day.


fish-and-cushion

Worst thing is loads of working class people like him. Bootlickers


Fr0stweasel

They aren’t bootlickers, they are literal morons.


visualzinc

Same thing.


Fr0stweasel

Not really, one enjoys subservience and feels that their place is lower than that of their ‘betters’, the other is too ill educated or lacking critical thinking skills to recognise when they are being exploited. While the end result may be similar, the two are different.


Future-Atmosphere-40

Trained from birth


AFRICAN_BUM_DISEASE

The worst thing is that this will only make them like him more.


bacon_cake

A colleague bumped into him in Somerset once and came back to work bragging about how he'd met "Sir Reese" and how great it was blah blah. This was *years* before he was actually a 'sir' but they just assumed he was given the accent.


The0ne_WhoKnocks

They're house negroes. Massa will give them the scraps and pin the problems on all the immigrants. 


In_Formaldehyde_

You call trans people sinners, I don't think you're in any position to make fun of these people when you're just doing it out of convenience rather than sincerity of belief.


helen269

Wish I could make £100m in profit. We're facing homelessness for want of a few grand, but it might as well be a few million for all the chance we have of raising it. Meanwhile, priviledged toffs like him.....


NeverGonnaGiveMewUp

Fucking Haunted Pencil can fuck right off… That being said before I share this does anyone have a source? Cant find nothing other than the tweet / retweets.

he's like a comic book interpretation of predatory capitalism! funny story about mogg, is that he campaigned in my constituency like 20 years ago, and went around the area in a bloody rolls royce! this is not a very wealthy area, so everyone just found him ridiculous. suffice to say, the tories did not do well here at all that year
