Jacob Rees-Mogg not a "Loveable Eccentric Toff " but a Tory Bastard.

If Jacob Rees-Mogg was a working class MP then his views that he was “completely opposed” to abortion, even in the case of rape would have met with derision ,

But in most cases it tarted as the anachronistic views of loveable eccentric toff in the same way Boris Johnson's numerous gaffs are explained as "Its Just Boris"

The backbench MP, who has recently hit the headlines over rumours he could be offered a ministerial position, was speaking on Good Morning Britain when he was questioned about his views on abortion.

The Tory MP for North Somerset, who is a practising Catholic, was challenged over whether he opposed abortion in all circumstances, to which he responded:

“I’m afraid I am. Life is sacrosanct and begins at the point of conception.”

He was pressed by Piers Morgan:

“Say you were prime minister: If a woman is raped by a family member, you would say she had no right to have that baby aborted?”

Rees-Mogg responded:

 “She would have a right under UK law. That law is not going to change but my personal opinion is life begins at the point of conception.”

He was also challenged over his views on gay marriage, which he voted against in the Commons.

Rees-Mogg responded: 

“I’m a Catholic and I take the teaching of the Catholic Church seriously.”

Susanna Reid countered:

 “Well there are plenty of Catholics who support same sex marriage.”

Morgan and Reid went further, asking Rees-Mogg the same question which was considered by many to have torpedoed Tim Farron’s career as Liberal Democrat leader:

 “Religion plays a big part in your policies. Do you think that gay sex is a sin?”

He responded:

 “On the issue of sin, it is quite clearly not for me to judge. I very strongly feel I should not judge what other people do. If you look at the woman taking adultery? What does Christ say? Is not for me to pass judgement.”

Ress-Moggs Views led to a backlash

Vile disgrace @Jacob_Rees_Mogg told #GMB today he's against abortion even when a woman has been raped. This man hates women, confirmed.

But unfortunately there is a tendency to give the likes of Rees-Mogg and Johnson more leeway than other MPs because there still seems to a cringe worthy  tendency in these Islands towards likes and the feeling they should not be thought of in the same ways as "Ordinary People" but  still have privilege to rule us.

Rees-Mogg’s comments come after he refused to rule out one day running to become leader of the Conservative Party.

On Tuesday, a Conservative Home survey of the party grassroots revealed Rees-Mogg was the firm favourite to succeed Thersea May as Tory leader.

Asked if he would “categorically rule out” ever putting himself forward for the job, Rees-Mogg quoted from Jim Hacker, the central character in Yes Minister who wanted to, and eventually became, prime minister.

“I remember Jim Hacker’s answer from Yes Minister,” Rees-Mogg said. ‘I have no ambitions in that direction but if my friends and colleagues advise me that in some humble capacity I could serve my country’, that of course that meant ‘yes’.

There is an almost Feudalistic nature  amongst people that "One Man One Vote" means the likes of Rees-Mogg is the man and he should have that vote.

Do not rule this out or a Rees Mogg  led Conservative party  winning an election as voters fall for the "Loveable eccentric toff " line and the belief he despite his views is somehow better than us and born to rule.

He is nor he is a Right Wing Tory Bastard who doesn't even have the same "Progressive" views on social issues that the likes of John Major had.

He should never be Prime Minister or even an MP and we need to see that the various clones of him that still legislate in the House of Lords are thrown out.

It is 2017 not 1817 can't we see through the idea that just because someone went to Eton and can quote Horace in Latin they are somehow born to rule.
