Rees-Mogg's "rules"

[2hats]

In a list, the and gets a comma before it. It’s what I was taught, so it’s what I do. But other styles are possible.

(Oxford, Cambridge, Stirling, and Napier are Universities).

Perhaps somewhat confusingly, the Oxford University style guide eschews the Oxford comma, and recommends it only be used where needed to avoid ambiguity and prevent confusion. However the OUP style manual, New Hart's Rules, promotes it (hence the name).

30s

fogey from the 30s doesn't have the same alliterative resonance and no one in the 30s rated churchill as a politician, even his constituents only returned him out of misplaced pity

11 pence 3 farthings short of the shilling

Generous. I'd have added a half farthing to that.

If he goes to this much trouble writing letters, and if he has anything to do with writing anything for Brexit, then we can rest assured Brexit wont happen. He will be swamped by the amount of punctuation and grammar errors in need of correction.

Is he secretly the Riddler?

And therein lies the heart of any style guide. It is exactly that, a guide, and Orwell's dictum always applies.

One of the many reasons why R-M is not as clever as he thinks he is.

 

[Celyn]

Yeh quite. Not the member for the nineteenth century but the fogey from the forties

Fogey fakery.

I think Rees-Cunt is the one I hate the most. Not the cruellest, stupidest or kist dangerous, but the smuggest and the one I'd laugh at most if he died in a fire or in a comedy way like being eaten by a Gila monster

There is one thing for sure, he doesnt like working class people.

You'll have to put up with his comedic gestures as dressed as a penguin in morning gear he is pecked to the ground and provides breakfast to the adelie penguins of the lewin peninsula

 

[pesh]

would love to see Nick Park do the film version

I'm totally the same. He just induces vitriolic hate in me. He's the worst aspects of both grim Victorian values and modern Tory capitalist all rolled into one eye sore of a human being.

Nah, it has to be Johnson, by far. He leads the party, calls the shots, many voted for him not the party. All those lies, the sleaze, the contradictions, the balls ups, the past life, the adultery, patronising, condescending etc. Does anyone trust or respect him any more?

Saw this on a bin today

 

[eatmorecheese]

I think what pisses me off the most about how he presents is that it's completely contrived. How do you end up sounding posher than, say, Prince William?
