The new Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg has instructed all staff in his new office to use imperial measurements and refer to ‘non-titled males’ as ‘esquire’.

Issuing a style guide in the first week of his job, he also bans colleagues from using various words in correspondence with other MPs and the public.

Among the list of bizarre rules, he asks staff not to use the words “got”, “very” or “equal”.

Nicknamed the ‘Honourable Member for the 18th Century', Mr Rees-Mogg is known for his formal dress and love of tradition.

In a long list of dos and don’ts, he also asks that all MPs are addressed with the title Esq after their name and tells staff “CHECK your work”.

The EU has issued several directives over the decades asking member states to use metric measurements.

The UK has been a late adopter of the system, continuing to use miles rather than kilometres on road signs, for example.

Mr Rees-Mogg makes clear he would prefer staff to always use imperial measurements, most of which were phased out from the mid-1960s.

Fair enough the first list is basic grammar, people should be aware of. That list of banned words is just ridiculous.

Does MP stand for “massive prick” in his case

[bots]

Hopefully, its not an ongoing situation, that would be unacceptable. I guess we will ascertain that very soon, but I wouldnt want to speculate.

[Oliver_W]

"Esquire" sounds like "is queer" so you can stealthily insult people 8-)

I like Esquire, it's a bit old fashioned but you can say it at the end of someone's full name instead of prefacing it with "mister"

[Scarlett.]

If there is one person who knows all about style its Rees-Mogg

[Livia]

I see nothing at all wrong with it. I'd like to see all MPs show what guidelines they issue to staff. One MP asked his staff to make sure his A4 letters go out in A5 envelopes, butt don't fold the letters, he wanted the letter to "spring open" as they came out of the envelope.

The banned words are also welcome, I reckon, because quite a few of those words and phrases have appeared on Bullsh1t Bingo cards that I've seen, and indeed played, in Westminster.

[Livia]

[Livia]

Imagine if someone was getting lambasted because he is a working class man. I'd be outraged.... and so would a lot of people on here. But it's perfectly fine to rip the piss out of anyone who has more money than you and/or is of a higher social class. Rees Mogg is a good politician, when he's lambasted in the street by some socialist or other, he always talks to them, crosses the street to talk to them... unlike many politicians who would scuttle away. I'm also intrigued why some people on a forum think they can object to the way his family runs, without knowing the first thing about it, other than... it's different from yours.

[Marsh.]

Nobody's ripping the piss out of his bank balance or class.

They're ripping the piss out of his pretentiousness and falseness.

The comment on his family aside, of course.

Agree with this Livia,it amuses me the amount of jealousy that is bubbling under in so many that they have to pull apart anyone who has money,has worked hard and seems to be a really nice gentleman, so what if he dresses nice,and speaks well,its what many should aim for then they might get the same chances he had, plus surely all that matters is that he does his job well and i see n reason to doubt him yet, pisses me off when others sit back and rip hard working people to shreds.

What an interesting way of completely disregarding what everyone has said and reframing it in a way that benefits your agenda... What's another word for that I wonder? Oh yeah, lying.

Rees-Moggs is an endless hypocrite and a weasely individual that is only loved by people who can't be bothered to research how truly odious he is because they place their fragile egos and the need to be told they are right above the truth of the man they support.

The man is a grade A dickhead and a cancer in Parliament and no amount of lying about what people are saying about him will change that, Livia.

[Liam-]

And for the record, LT first referred to him as a ‘successful family man’ so I’m pretty sure that opens the door to criticise him for things he’s openly and publicly said about his family life.

[Marsh.]

Agree with this Livia,it amuses me the amount of jealousy that is bubbling under in so many that they have to pull apart anyone who has money,has worked hard and seems to be a really nice gentleman, so what if he dresses nice,and speaks well,its what many should aim for then they might get the same chances he had, plus surely all that matters is that he does his job well and i see n reason to doubt him yet, pisses me off when others sit back and rip hard working people to shreds.

Oh give over Kazanne.

Keep it about the topic, eh, not discussing members.

Yeah I’m seething with jealousy of a rampant bigot that dresses like a guess who character, I want to be exactly like him.

[Crimson Dynamo]

im sure you would welcome his business success and money?

[Tom4784]

This whole 'you're just jealous' angle is just typical of a fragile right wing that can't handle criticism of their heroes. It's dumb and childish and people who think you can only criticise people if you are jealous of them need to grow the **** up.

[Marsh.]

I dunno. Pretty jealous of that hat.

I-

i'm not jealous, like why would i even be jealous at someone far right

not everyone can like those who you like, and the same rights what you and others of the rees-mogg support have, we have rights to say what we want about him

look as long as he takes his job seriously, no reason for me to further complain i only agree with that from you and i guess Boris has put together a good team of brexiteers to take care of brexit, who exactly know what they want, and i'm sure they are 100% more capable than May's government of coming up with good terms, pretty clear statements to EU what sort of deal they might be agreeing to

so honestly i think there is a chance that Boris and Jacob can succeed where May failed with the EU

[Livia]

Oh give over Kazanne.

Yeah... whadda you know anyway, Marshy.

What on earth makes you think that Rees Mogg is on the far Right? On the right yes... The far Right? definitely not.

[Nicky91]

Yeah... whadda you know anyway, Marshy.



What on earth makes you think that Ree Mogg is on the Right? On the right yes... The far Right? definitely not.

it doesn't matter what ''right'' he is on

i can't like him then anyway, since i'm more centre left myself and it's not a jealousy thing :spin:

[Oliver_W]

You "can't like him" ? There are plenty of politicians I disagree with, but I'd never dislike someone for something as trivial as political views.

[Marsh.]

Yeah... whadda you know anyway, Marshy.

A darn sight more than you missus!!

[chuff me dizzy]

Rees Mogg seems to be disliked because he has an excellent education and is upper class, oh and he doesn't change nappies :joker: I love the man and his straight talking ,and Boris couldn't have chosen a better man for the job than Jacob

[Livia]

A darn sight more than you missus!!


I'm positive that's true in your own mind xx

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Livia]

It doesn't matter what right he's on?!? Are you serious....?

To you, centre right and far Right are the same? Honestly Nicky, if you think that I'm glad I know and I will take no more notice of anything you say on serious debates.

[Marsh.]

Talking bollocks being described as "straight talking" and "honesty" is such a cliche. They're the furthest from honesty you could get.

I'd trust him as far as I could throw Katie Hopkins.

and that latter hurts me livia

Well I don't know about you Nicky, but people's political stance doesn't really come in to whether I like them or not. I have friends from all political persuasions... I have friends on here from all political persuasions. What a shame to turn your back on someone because they believe different things politically.

Yes, it's getting worse by the day when people are called disgusting human beings for believing what a lot of people believe. Lots of people are against same sex marriage while having no axe to grind with the gay community. I wonder if they are disgusting human beings too? Most of the Roman Catholic church are against abortion, as are Muslims and a cross-section of Jews, and I'm sure lots of people from other religions, and from none. All disgusting human beings according to you.

Diane Abbot is incompetent. You surely have to agree.

Well no.... I don't know those people so cannot comment on any of them. I wouldn't be foolish to generalise whole communities but yeah try painting that on me..... :joker:

I know JRM is a slimy man with a track record in parliament that goes against my community. I have a voice and will use it to stand up for them and get people like him OUT of parliament. Not you or anyone else will suppress my opinion, try being personal all you want. That's what's really getting worse here, all the cheap personal digs.

Please Reece, can you show me where I attacked you personally? I have nothing against you at all, never have had. In fact I quite like you despite our differences....

If you're going to site two reasons why you think JRM is a "disgusting human being" then you have to think everyone with those views is a disgusting human being or you're taking particular exception to him while excusing everyone else, and that makes no sense.

I am pro choice when it comes to abortion. I think his opinion on abortion is antiquated to say the least... but he has a right to it. Similarly with gay marriage... a religious person might stand against gay marriage while having no problem with gay people... Nothing is really that black and white.

He's the prime minister. This is serious debates. You see where I'm going?

[reece(:]

Please Reece, can you show me where I attacked you personally? I have nothing against you at all, never have had. In fact I quite like you despite our differences....

If you're going to site two reasons why you think JRM is a "disgusting human being" then you have to think everyone with those views is a disgusting human being or you're taking particular exception to him while excusing everyone else, and that makes no sense.

I am pro choice when it comes to abortion. I think his opinion on abortion is antiquated to say the least... but he has a right to it. Similarly with gay marriage... a religious person might stand against gay marriage while having no problem with gay people... Nothing is really that black and white.

I think the man is sneaky and slimy, his voting record is abhorrent on nearly every issue (naming some... fox hunting, climate change denier, privatisation).
Of course I do not think whole communities are disgusting that's ridiculous but this man, who is given too much (imo) public spotlight is a horrid role model and it is disgusting he has been given such powers! He makes my skin crawl.

A brilliant pair of articles I found which represent my thoughts; https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/jacob-rees-mogg-lies-brexit-theresa-may-dream-team-boris-johnson-michael-gove-deceitful-bully-18th-a8194011.html

voting for private members’ clubs being exempt from the smoking ban... as long as they don’t serve food

Just a totally pompous, odious individual.

[Kate!]

He is described across the board on the web as a racist homophobic and incompetent buffoon who has little or zero chance of staying Prime Minister long term. He will do no better with Brexit than May did.

[chuff me dizzy]

I cannot wait for Boris to prove his haters so wrong

I would seriously question where you are getting your information from as it sounds like youtube comments or some such thing?

Type in Boris incompetent and you will be inundated with articles.

He is a bellend you are right.

[Crimson Dynamo]

you can do that with any politician. Do you actually follow politics can I ask you, watch it on the news, listen to talk radio and read about it in newspapers i print or online? and do you vote?

[Marsh.]

So you just want threads about people who you like and agree with?:shrug:

He never said that? He said he has the right to give his opinion on those people when those threads come up, even when that opinion is not positive.

[Marsh.]

the point is that in a tolerant world, people are allowed different opinions to your own. That doesnt make them scum or any other adjective thrown about this forum on a regular basis. What disappoints me greatly is that these same people expect others to be tolerant of them and their own views

Someone being intolerant of people receiving EQUAL RIGHTS is not a difference of opinion.

[Marsh.]

Bots :clap1: tolerance is a two way street

Accepting homophobia is "tolerance"?

JFC. Give me strength. :facepalm:

[Nicky91]

which you can expect on serious debates

Homophobia seems to acceptable as long as it’s in the name of Christianity apparently, didn’t you know?

[joeysteele]

Rees-Mogg is someone I'd neither like or respect as a politician or person.

He supports fox hunting, I'd never, nor would want to be around such a supporter of that barbaric act.

His abortion views and anti gay marriage ones too are 2 other strong issues, which would also ensure no liking or support from me.

No time for the man whatsoever, none.

true, i love all animals, so his support for fox hunting is also what i am against

his anti-abortion thing well it's disgusting what he had said about that, in terms of also no abortion for rape victims

and anti gay marriage i'm against, since i support the LGBT community myself


he can be well educated, come from a good upper class family not against all of that, but i mean what i said not liking him, was about his views

[joeysteele]

well i hope you feel the same about selena gomes as she is another devout catholic, and Nicole Kidman?

[Kizzy]

Reading through this thread what an eye opener... a better social class...Did I read that right?
What a joke.
This filibuster is a parody, a walking joke. His latest foray as an author is testament to that!
How dare he attempt to instruct others how to form a sentence :/ This great advocate of free speech putting blocking staff from expressing themselves?

There are many with an established British heritage that don't conduct themselves in such an affected manner, his father was a journalist... Let's digest that for a second.
Even if his family had been gifted land by some murderous syphilis ridden king, it is baffling to me how that springboards the status of their modern day decendants...

In the modern era it's not how round your vowels are, your antique taste in suits or the ridiculous sounding names of your children that denotes 'class'.

[Kazanne]

This whole 'you're just jealous' angle is just typical of a fragile right wing that can't handle criticism of their heroes. It's dumb and childish and people who think you can only criticise people if you are jealous of them need to grow the **** up.

For someones whos head is so big ,you know very little

[Marsh.]

Are you criticising him? You must be very jealous. That's the only reason one can be critical.

Freedom of opinion is a two way street. You can think what the **** you want, but people can think what the **** they want about your abhorrent opinion. Homophobia itself is intolerance of an entire community, so I think people are allowed to be a little aggrieved with how they put themselves across when discussing this if ugly bigoted homophobes are allowed to yell their bile from the rooftops. An ugly look you trying to use ‘tolerance’ to protect homophobes

[Kazanne]

Are you criticising him? You must be very jealous. That's the only reason one can be critical.

Not criticising just being factual as he comes across to me

[Marsh.]

Not criticising just being factual as he comes across to me

As are the people commenting on Rees-Mogg.

Or is his social class so high he's untouchable?

[Elliot]

Bots :clap1: tolerance is a two way street

So is free speech, so can these moronic right wingers stop using ‘freedom of opinion!!’ as a defence from people ever criticising them at all? Words come with consequences, don’t say and think bile if you’re not ready to bear responsibility for it!

[Cherie]

Accepting homophobia is "tolerance"?

JFC. Give me strength. :facepalm:

accepting other people follow a religion which preclude them from accepting same sex marriage, there are alot of religions that follow this doctrine

[Kazanne]

As are the people commenting on Rees-Mogg.

Or is his social class so high he's untouchable?

Of course he isnt untouchable,but diss him on his actions as an MP not his dress, speech ,etc. some people like him others dont, but it does come across as anyone who has money and has worked hard are shouted down a lot on here.

[Marsh.]

accepting other people follow a religion which preclude them from accepting same sex marriage, there are alot of religions that follow this doctrine

If he was an ordinary person following the religion of his choice in the privacy of his own life.

When he brings those views into his job that very much concerns the public, it's open to be commented on and critiqued as people see fit.

Obviously.

Well actually NO,we dont have free speech do we, we have to be careful what we say

[Cherie]

well obviously, lets hope the same scrutiny is applied to all people who hold high office whatever their religion

[Marsh.]

Oh dear, do we have to submit an essay to you with a critique of every politician in the country to qualify to post valid opinions in this thread about Jacob Rees-Mogg?

Bit much Cherie.

oh sorry for asking that the same scrutiny be applied to all MPs, not just the ones you want scrutinised

[Marsh.]

oh sorry for asking that the same scrutiny be applied to all MPs, not just the ones you want scrutinised

Well, where in the thread did anyone suggest only some should be scrutinised?

The thread is about Jacob Rees-Mogg.

[Cherie]

Well, where in the thread did anyone suggest only some should be scrutinised?

The thread is about Jacob Rees-Mogg.

can I not take the thread in a new direction?

you seem very keen to tell me what I can and can't post these days

[Marsh.]

can I not take the thread in a new direction?

you seem very keen to tell me what I can and can't post these days

Again, no one's suggested you can't post anything.

A new direction of what? "I hope these people criticising Rees-Mogg know that he isn't the only politician in the country and they have to criticise them too!". Bit odd.

[Kate!]

Yes its true that all should come under scrutiny equally. However some openly invite such scrutiny by their words and actions. Whereas some are more discreet hmm. Mr Mogg is one of the former as he foolishly bleats his horrible beliefs at any opportunity.

[bots]

Tony Blair had strong religious views, May had strong religious views, Harriet Harman had strong religious views, loads of MP's have strong religious views. Every MP has strong views, it's a prerequisite for the job. That's why they are MP's. The are elected members of parliament, chosen by the people they represent. One doesn't have to agree with every MP or insist that they all have the same views as ourselves. That's democracy. That's tolerance. That's free speech

[chuff me dizzy]

As rightly said HIS BELIEFS and who's got the right to tell him HIS beliefs are wrong and theirs are right ? He and everyone else have a right to believe what is right and wrong

Prerequisite. . Really?
If we looked at all those mps voting records would they mirror moggs on women's issues? Specifically in relation to his catholicism?

[Marsh.]

He and everyone else have a right to believe what is right and wrong

Contradicting yourself here Chuff.

Either people have the right to believe in what they think is right and wrong. And have the FREE SPEECH RIGHT TO AIR IT... or they don't.

You seem to be against it when it comes to views YOU don't agree with and it's creating irrational posts like this one.
