BTW, Question Time tonight: it'll be chocca with the usual Tories and Tory apologists (including that public schoolboy Dimbleby) and I doubt very much that the stories in recent days about Rees-Mogg's company investing in a Russian bank that had been sanctioned in the past (and after he called this week for more sanctions) or the Tory hierarchy's involvement with Cambridge Analytica's parent company will be given a mention.
...but last week Jeremy Corbyn's name was dragged through the mud without foundation for a good half hour.
The good old impartial "auntie Beeb". If I had it within my powers I'd close that empire of evil down and bulldoze all its buildings.
That's not the only thing praying on his mind.
Gove faces fresh scrutiny over school sexual abuse case | Politics ...
"The Somerset MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who has connections to Downside school, did not respond to the Guardian’s questions about whether he had discussed the investigation with Gove.
Lady Gillian Rees-Mogg, the MP’s mother, was the school governor with responsibility for child protection at Downside for some of this period. Her role,
mentioned in evidence at the IICSA inquiry, is recorded in
a July 2009 Downside school pamphlet on child protection and a subsequent
Downside school parents handbook for 2010-11.
The abbot of Downside, Dom Aiden Bellenger, officiated at Jacob Rees-Mogg’s wedding in 2007, reciting a Catholic mass in Latin at the service in Canterbury Cathedral. The MP, whose constituency is next door to Downside,
has spoken at Downside".
No wonder the crank had a face like a wet weekend in Blackpool, the other day in parliament.
It will be interesting to see what line the state controlled bbc push tonight.
