Jacob Rees-Mogg announces baby Sixtus

[Mordac]

Just having Jacob Rees-Mogg as your dad is enough to have the crap beaten out of you.

Oh btw comp kids now have "interesting' names especially if they are in a city or large town.

Some teacher I know changed her surname on marriage to her husband's boring English one and the kids' basically told her "What kind of fecking name is that?"

I once dated a teacher whose surname was the same as the brothers from a very famous pop combo. She made out they were related, for a while, until the kiddies pointed out (quite rightly) that said brothers were a couple of right winkers.

Moggs a nice chap He's also a full on Old-skool eccentric. You have to respect that he rocks his vibe.

Sixtus was the pope that gave us the Sistine chapel and the Vatican Archives so not a bad namesake to have.

The type that used to be plentliful and, in their own little way, made the country what it was. The sneering at Rees-Mogg is more a reflection of the commentator.

Firstly - he is completely ridiculous.

Secondly, he symbolises how power is vested in people with privileged upbringings in the UK. And when he goes on the radio the morning after the EU referendum and announces his joy at the great blow against the Establishment, he can expect a bit of sneering. No harm done really, as I'm sure he doesn't care in the slightest what the hoi polloi think of him.

Anyway, I much prefer Michael Fabricant.

It's hoi polloi, not "the hoi polloi".

This Sixtus the IV also started the Spanish inquisition and was famed for being a wicked man full of nepotism. He didn't commissioned the cartoons on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel either.

'The hoi polloi' is correct.

A little education is dangerous, no?

Repeating yourself doesn't mean you're correct.
