Legend for what reason, exactly? This pompous and upper class snob is pro zero hour contracts, is a stuck in the past monarchist, against same sex marriage and even supported donald trump when running for president. He is a former banker from a clearly rich and out of touch family. He has absolutely nothing in common with most British folk, stuck away in some totally one sided constituency of less than 70K.

I wasn't judging him on his accent or how he speaks. In fact, that's probably the only thing that is likable about him from my point of view. Where he comes from in no way represents the rest of the UK and more importantly the issues that face the everyday working class people who's government just voted to keep underpaying. His job is indeed relevant when you take into account the fact that his father was a baron. A public school and oxford attending Mogg of course was going to vote against public sector workers getting a pay rise, because how could he possibly understand the plight of those who struggle day in day out just to put food on the table? Do you think he uses public transport? Do you think than when his kids are ill they get taken to an NHS hospital? Nonsense. He would be at a private surgery because he has grown up in money. Do you think he would stand up for social care workers? Would he ever end up in social care? No. He will end up retired in some country house / manor cared for by private workers. Trump being a lesser of an evil than clinton doesn't make him any better. But unless it comes to American foreign policy dragging the UK into shit, I have no interest in what the USA gets up to. And him being against the EU doesn't make him a 'legend' either. Personally, I didn't vote in the referendum and nor did I listen to the tory's tripe during the election. Instead of talking about the issues that affect everyday people, 99% of their regurgitated rhetoric was about the EU. That and punishing old people with the pension triple lock changes ultimately cost them a majority. As for the monarchy....I've already said my peace. Unless you benefit directly from the saxe coburg gotha family existing, nothing about it makes any sense to a person who sponsors to the 'demoractic process' or believes that we're all born equal.

The only way you couldn't like the true eloquence of his English is if you don't appreciate the sheer beauty of the English language. We're talking about a man who was born into wealth. It isn't' so much his father, family wealth or his job as a banker than has me presumably judging him. I judge him as a man who doesn't feel the suffering of the working class, because as yet, he has not put his vote against a single bill that looks to protect the most vulnerable in our society. I'm not saying that he is a bad person, or someone who wouldn't feel at ease when surrounded by a mixed set of people. I'm saying that as a parliamentarian, Jacob is the absolute example of the detached Tory. Pro zero hour contracts and he recently voted against the review of the salary cap of public sector employees. I cannot separate his background from his political views and policy leanings, for that his background has clearly shaped his views. Take me. My grandparents were farmers. They pretty much farmed not to make profit but to feed the family. My parents were the only two children from both sides to truly go into higher education. They both became doctors. Now, whilst we grew up initially in small three bedroom houses, parents having the large room and my sisters sharing the other large room and I always ending up in the very small room. Because of where they came from, it was never a parenting policy for my mum and dad to give me easy money. Because for them, it never came by easily. My first mountain bike was bought from a car boot sale in Welling for £35, that I raised doing paper-rounds. In fact, most of the kids at school thought it was crazy that a boy apparently born to doctors didn't always have the latest trainers etc. Such an upbringing teaches you to truly feel how poor people get by. The idea that every penny counts. Jacob has never had that. If he did, he wouldn't vote to freeze the wages of nurses, who are on the same level of pay as 2005. It was only 7-9 years ago that we had an economic crash, with bankers playing a rather critical and yet destructive part. So to look at bankers in a negative manner is certainly not a completely out of a norm thought. Furthermore, Jacob is on the backbenches. I would've thought that if his economic acumen was so profound, at some stage, someone would give him a job as part of the cabinet. I have issues with Jacob's support for Trump, because it is baffling to say the least. For a man of Jacob's integrity and intelligence to support a person like Trump is just very difficult to comprehend. But from a policy point of view as well as their backgrounds when being born into money, I suppose it isn't a surprise. I'm not sure if it was in response to you or someone else in this thread, but I highlighted factual information as to the monarchy being completely at odds in existence in not only the modern world, but an elected democracy. Saying that the monarchy contribute towards 'social cohesion' is an opinion. What isn't an opinion is Prince Charles not being required to abide by planning permission laws, that every other person in the last has to abide by. But that's just one piece of factual information, along with the near 60 bills that the government (elected government) has ran past the monarchy when looking to create laws. Such actions along with Charles vetoing 15 bills in the last 2.5 years as well as having access to free legal advise from the government make mockery of an elected democracy. The media have a huge part to play in promoting the monarchy as being important. They aren't. But above all, what annoys me most is that they're hidden behind the Windsor name, when in fact, the saxe coburg gotha's were pro hitler. These people had families in the SS, dined with Hitler and were more than happy to do deals with the nazi's in order to ensure their survival. Mussolini was a british agent prior to become one of the most right wing leaders in european history. That is all I will say in relation to the monarchy.

Take back control of what???

That doesn't make any sense, mate. If we didn't have control of our borders, there wouldn't be a 1940's warsaw style ghetto on the other side of the channel in Calaise. Who are you taking control back from? I really encourage you to actually read into the nitty gritty of the actual law making. We make all our own laws, bar argricultural related stuff that are actually beneficial to our farmers. Since when did we not have control over our waters? Because a Russian ship decided to get a bit close? Or a Spanish ship sailing past the rock? I'm very sorry to say that such sayings just don't cut the mustard. What about the 400K plus brits in Spain? what do we do with them?

But if you actually look into the economic benefits of EU migrants to the UK economy, their contribution far far far outweighs the apparent negatives like....I'm a bit annoyed at not hearing many people speaking english when I get the DLR in the morning. If they're working, then surely it means we need them. What regulations do you speak of? The parliament is far more undermined by the inbred royals, than any EU parliament.

The feudal laws that somehow still exist and are exercised to this day allows the so called duchee of cornwall to work as a separate legal jurisdiction. What that means is that the prince of wales cannot actually be summoned by the courts. This means that he cannot legally be made to pay tax and it also means that he can effectively veto any laws that is passed by the elected government - he has done this on no less tha 15 occasions. I don't believe that we've given up any sovereignty to the EU in return for monetary benefits. But I also know that I much prefer us doing deals that could be economically beneficial to doing deals with the saudis around arms, that is easily classed as blood money.

@_____alyptic Rees Mogg will support anyone who is about to win. As for Cheese f*ck Truss - we have now officially hit rock bottom. We surely cannot sink any lower. We need a general election ASAP.

You agree that some terrible things happen? 100's of years ago? Either you're being incredibly heartless and callous or you're just simply plain ignorant and blind. Look at what you've done to Libya! Have you seen the state of Tripoli? Look at what you've done to Syria. One of the most peaceful countries not only in the middle east but the entire world. You've destroyed a country with thousands of years of civilization. Look at what your wonderful 'parliamentary democracy' has done to Iraq. You've infested the entire country with terrorists, killing over a million innocent people in the process and invaded it illegally under fall pretense. Look at what you've done to Afghanistan. Your PM who was elected three times, went to Afghanistan and hailed the Mujaheddin as freedom fighters. All of the sectarian issues that exist to this day in Northern Ireland is because of British interference and illegal invasions of other peoples' lands. Look at the indigenous Americans. You single handedly nearly wipes them out. Look at indigenous Australians. With only over 1500 left in the Northern territories. Look at what your wonderful parliamentary democracy is doing to Yemen. For goodness sake you're talking about being mature and even handed, and yet your government is taking blood money from Saudi royalty that helped to kill thousands upon thousands of people in Yemen just through famine and disease. You're the second biggest seller and trader of weapons in the whole world. I'm not talking about 100's of years ago. I'm talking about right now. Right now, there are people dying and being slayed due to British foreign policy. Positive british contributions? The entire industrial revolution that helped to build your towns and cities was financed by imperialism and colonialism. The indians for one along with the arabs made huge strides in mathematics and science. You don't necessarily need to rape and pillage to make worldly contributions. What about the current regime in Iran. Who's fault was that? In 1953, British agents undermined and removed a democratically elected PM who wanted to nationalize the country's oil. Of course, this would be unacceptable for the raping and pillaging king's government so they removed him and placed a puppet in his place...the shah. Two decades of the gap between the rich and poor growing, exuberance and out of touch lifestyle of the shah and his cronies and not to mention the rise in the use of narcotics paved the way for the people saying enough is enough and making it easier for the islamic revolution. If Britain hadn't removed a democratically elected PM, Iran would never be where it is now. Now let's move onto Greece. In 1944, 28 anti nazi protesters were gunned down by who? British soldiers. The british army gunned down anti nazi protesters. That infamous British intervention triggered the Greek civil war between the communists and the monarchofascists.
