Be careful in heaping praise on him just because of his superficial charm, it is what he says and what he does that counts. All I see is an extreme right winger who would set this country back to the 18th C complete with its huge inequalities.

    Get up in daylight in the winter? I'm not sure what time Rees-Mogg gets up, but I'm up at 7am in the winter and it's certainly not light then. Besides, is it not just better to let MPs vote how they want to, rather than sabotaging bills and filibustering?

    • @jimmierustler5607
      @jimmierustler5607 8 лет назад

      +Paul2377 That assumes MPs always vote for the betterment of the country, rather than for convenience or following the whip. It is the parliamentary duty of backbenchers to challenge the front bench on dubious legislation through filibustering, to persuade other MPs of the problems of bills, rather than letting them pass through without contention.

    • @Paul2377
      @Paul2377 8 лет назад

      Jimmie Rustler I disagree. But then, it's a fault of the system that filibustering is possible. To me, timewasting just to stop others voting on a bill is poor form. A bit like when Tim Loughton tried to derail the same sex marriage bill just because he personally wasn't in favour of equality. Still, he lost that one. :)

    • @jimmierustler5607
      @jimmierustler5607 8 лет назад

      Paul2377 You might disagree, but filibustering ensures legislation is thought through, and that those with strong motivation on a bill can ensure a thorough debate against flippant or blazé members.

    • @Paul2377
      @Paul2377 8 лет назад

      Jimmie Rustler Bills are already debated at length, though. And if something is 'bad' enough then it doesn't need someone like Jacob Rees-Mogg to time waste in order to stop it getting through. I'm glad he's not my MP, anyway, as he seems too concerned with making a name for himself and getting attention than anything else.

    • @jimmierustler5607
      @jimmierustler5607 8 лет назад

      Paul2377 He is undoubtably one of the most decent and genuine MPs in parliament, ruthlessly polite and committed utterly to democratic procedure. The fact that he uses filibustering to stop ill thought out legislation passing in an empty parliament is a testament to his democratic vigor. We could do with more like him on both sides of the house.

    The bishop's speech is authoritative and well-put. It's a beautiful exposition of forgiveness and mercy. But I for the most part disagree with him. The diminution of the criminal as a result of his punishment for a crime must be compared directly with the suffering of the victim of the crime. It is because of the criminal and his crime that he, himself, and everyone involved suffers. He holds his future in his own hands. To not commit the crime in the first place is the solution.
