What Rees Mogg really thinks of common people

[Swinglowandslow]

Post drifts off to debate what TLFS should or could have done differently; what the council should or could have done differently - but I suggest that we all know what JR-M should have done - and that was not suggest that the residents of Grenfell Tower should have ignored the advice they were getting from TLFS. But he did. And that was wrong. And as for Budgen...

They can say sorry as much as they want - but I suggest that the two of them might largely be sorry for having revealed what they believed. So why might we now accept that - with their thinking now having been 'found out' - they now think differently about those in that part of society of which the residents of Grenfell Tower are typical. I might be wrong and they might be reformed in their thinking - but I doubt it. I suspect that they will be sitting reasonably comfortably having justified to themselves that what they said was actually OK.

Because in many ways they are no different from the rest of us. When we know we have said or done wrong, something that has hurt others, the easiest thing to do is to say sorry then self-justify and leave it at that. The hardest thing to do is to recognise and fully accept that your thinking was wrong - then say sorry and do something about changing your way of thinking.

Anyway...they'll both most likely be re-elected.

Blimey, you do go on. The words dog, bone and vindictive come to mind.

Where is Rees-Mogg anyway? Haven't heard a dicky-bird from him for a while now. Strange given he is one of the leading lights in the Conservative Party (well he was Leader of the House so that counts for something?) - but not strange if the Tories have realised that he is a liability. Maybe they don't want to have him questioned on any of his ERG views given the Farage Situation.

And likewise nothing at all these days from Rees-Mogg's near-neighbour down South Somerset way - Marcus Fysh. Maybe CCHQ have decided that they have got enough on their plate coping with the utterings of such as Andrew Bridgen and Mark Francois

I've not the faintest idea...Perhaps he's following in the footsteps of his Dear Leader.
