Similar vibes to my headmaster's scrawl, and he was something of a cunt 🤷

From yesterdays Popbitch email:

Schoolboy pranks can often be cruel. Schoolboy pranks at Eton, especially so. But we heard of one this week that seemed not only victimless, but actively fun for all involved.

Classmates who attended Eton with Jacob Rees-Mogg had a longstanding prank they liked to play on him over the years they were there. Someone would start singing or whistling the National Anthem whenever he was in earshot, then watch as young Jacob would stop whatever he was doing to proudly stand for it.

Never got boring, apparently.

:D:D:D

All you appear to desire is to tell people what you think is so crucially required, and then to complain if anyone is doing something different.

And I'm pretty sure that no one here thinks that posting stuff about JRM is actually going to transform the world, it's mostly just a bit of light relief.

If you really don't get that, you're welcome to stick to more serious threads which meet your high standards of seriousness, or even start your own if no one else comes up to your exacting standards.

The thing we old farts learn, is that it's all very well pontificating about what needs to change, but what politics is really about, is building in your community - not lecturing or hectoring people, but helping them on non-political projects that strengthen community cohesion. This enables you to carry people with you with regard to "political" engagement. In 2018, a friend & I stood in the local elections. We took several thousand votes off of Labour because people in our community trusted us - we supported them, & they supported us.
As for the comedy that is electoral politics, it's fine calling for it to all be burned down, but what replaces it? We can say "bottom up decision making", but what does that mean in terms of administrating services to your communities? Zeal is all very well, but if you don't at least have some kind of structural proposals, everything will fall apart faster than a corpse in a gibbet.

As an anarchist communist of nearly 20 years AmateurAgitator can I offer a little advice? Sneering at people for being reformists is fun and all, but it's not particularly constructive on a board full of politics nerds, quite a few of whom are more clued up on your politics than you appear to be.

Don't assume everyone is an idiot simply because they don't agree with you, it does neither you nor the cause much good - you'll burn out before making much headway.

(That's not to say you have to be some disciplined robot of course, lord knows I've indulged myself in a splenetic rant about bloody liberals now and again)

I must have been reading this thread on my phone before, because I've only just noticed that where any normal person would write the date, JRM has written "St Crispin's Day".

Interestingly enough, the feast of St Crispin was removed from the Roman Catholic Church's universal liturgical calendar following the Second Vatican Council in 1965.

Pope John XXIII called the council in 1959 because he felt the Church needed updating in order to connect with 20th-century people, and the most famous change was including the widespread use of vernacular languages in the Mass instead of Latin, but Rees-Mogg clearly considers all such updating unnecessary and prefers to remain strictly a traditionalist in every aspect of his life.

I always find it funny when right wingers try to marry up their politics with the radical rabbinical scholar Jesus. Who turned over the tables of the money lenders, turned the other cheek and coined the phrase ‘from each according to their ability to each according to their need’...(strokes chin)…I’m sure I’ve heard that from someone else…can’t remember…
 
He definitely called out hypocrisy in government/ high society no two ways about it. At great personal danger. And at the end of the day he was willing and was nailed to a cross for it.

I’m a reluctant atheist but the message resonates. The figure (whoever they actually were) set a higher standard for morality.

I think you can trace a line from the New Testament right through to the Christian charity movements that inspired Dickens, Flaubert and Marx.

I don't want to draw comparisons that tightly (excuse my ignorance), but it's not actually that long a time ago really. e.g. Judgemental comfortable media doyens = scribes and pharisees.

Totally. I’m spitballing (I’m in the pub). But broadly speaking.

I don’t know if you know this but after a decisive day in the courts/parliament (can’t remember which) with regards to ‘getting Brexit done’ he had a champagne party for his hedge fund mates at Somerset Capital Management. Anyone who thinks Brexit wasn’t all about ripping off the public needs to know that. The nasty little shit.

I still can't get over the reality that an utter bellend chancer Boris Johnson was Prime Minister.

Rees-Mogg has previously admitted that he deliberately posts messages like this just to annoy the left-wing sectors of Twitter. In April, he told The Political Party podcast: "I always tweet at midnight, on Christmas, something about 'today, a saviour's been born Jesus Christ the Lord."

"This amazingly annoys the left. I get the most furious response. By the time I've left midnight mass, a thousand or more people have gone absolutely furious and I wish them Merry Christmas."

So there you go. While it might feel like you are getting one over on Rees-Mogg, he in his own eyes feels he is having the last laugh.

I suspect this is a case of taking the Lord's Name in Vain. Tut tut.
