    The man changes his mind about what he wants more times than chelsea change their managers.

    Not that long ago he’d have been a bit of a jokey pisstake of what a Tory MP used to be. Like something out of a sketch show where a guy in a castle with six kids with names like Sextus comes up with dastardly plans to crash the pound for profit.

    Somehow that’s become “anti-establishment”.

    I mentioned the B word in response to your post.:emoticon-0100-smile
    Your answer was a bit throw away...'The man changes his mind'. JRM was just a back bencher...pretty much unknown until Brexit and ERG. All he did during those 2-3 years was to say that we needed to respect the result.
    I think people didn't like the fact that he is a toff and well educated. He actually is a decent family man with an amazing understanding of the HOC. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    People don’t like that he advised (lied to) people to vote against their economic interests while making an absolute killing from the pound crashing.

    And his wife’s castle being renovated at our expense. And excusing himself for being an enormous bigot by pretending to be religious.

    And maybe the Grenfell thing.

    That money thing was a bit of a myth... they said Farage did the same. All of his work and money interests are either regulated or documented. He did nothing illegal. It was just the remain mob trying to discredit him.
    If you are talking about Wentworth Woodhouse... that had nothing to do with him.
    I think that people are against him because of Brexit.

    I didn’t say it was illegal. Legally lying to people for your own economic gain isn’t a great look though.

    Of course people are against him because of Brexit amongst other things. Your lot are in the process of hounding out anyone who dare not blindly back the cult so it’s a bit crass to even mention it.

    REWARDING FAILURE
    Bumper bonuses for bungling Home Office mandarins at the centre of Windrush scandal
    Sir Philip Rutnam – the troubled department’s chief civil servant - was handed a lump sum between £15,000 and £20,000 in April despite telling MPs two months ago ‘I’m not an expert on the immigration system’

    THE £190,000 a year head of the Home Office who insisted he wasn't an “expert” on immigration was handed a massive five figure performance-related bonus last year.

    Our national security council has taken the decision to increase the level of deterrence at our borders to the maximum.
    As of now we will not be accepting any new asylum applications for 1 month.
    We are invoking article 78.3 of the TFEU to ensure full European support.
    The borders of Greece are the external borders of Europe.
    We will protect them.
    I will be visiting the #Evros land border with Turkey along with Charles Michel @eucopresident on Tuesday.
    Once more, do not attempt to enter Greece illegally - you will be turned back.

    Another that fits the cult/**** figure is Tommy Robinson who adds to his reputation being arrested for alleged common assault at a holiday park...
