i know a guy called charles laughton henry wimbish malatherer haddock .

J R-M has named his sixth child 'Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher'.
Poor kid but if anyone has a silver spoon it'll be him.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Jacob always seems out of sorts with the 21st C - he really belongs in the 19th C.
Yes, the silverest of silver spoons ;-)
Made me think; it would be great to be able to spell out your (first) name with your initials wouldn't it?
i.e Christopher Harold Richard Isambard Samuelson

Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius is still the best. He'll get into anywhere with that!
I was amazed by his anachronistic poshness when I first saw him some years back. The disbelief changed to a sort of outrage that someone could be that privileged but latterly the outrage has turned to affection. I do not agree with him on many things but he is human and humane, witty, bright and a real character. We need more like him in The House of Commons.
If Jeremy Corbyn can do well by being a throw-back to the 70s, so can JRM - in his case the 1870s.
He's following the Roman style of naming offspring after their numerical order in the family - Quintus, Septimus etc.
He is our MP, I always look forward to him canvassing as he is a quirky toff.
But he is a great MP for his constituents and very astute during his surgeries.

Always remember that your friendly cute Tory, is still a Tory.
A pretty despicable one too.

I find his kind of behaviour - deliberate/faux ignorance of the "real world" - a bit of an affectation. A bit like "Who's [bookmark pop-culture celebrity]?" comments on threads. If genuine blue-bloods like the heirs to the throne can attempt keep up, then so can he. It's more of an upper-middle class way of sugar-coating general rudeness and distasteful right-wing views.
He's a bit of a Boris Johnson or even Chris Ewbank.

The man is an ass, a silly, anachronistic throwback.
Incredibly posh. Who names their son Dominic in this day and age?
Amazes me how unashamedly intolerant and prejudiced some people are when they react to Mogg based just on his poshness.
I massively respect how he doesn't get over excited in interviews. Notice how he waits his turn and doesn't interupt others, but gets interupted all the time himself.
Wish we had a few hundred like him rather than the ignorant self-serving oafish spineless shower currently infesting our parliament.
(If I sound like a grumpy old bastard, it is because I am and I consider it a privilege of age!)

Exactly the point I was making before. Unless I'm completely mistaken, he's pretty much as upper-middle-class as they come, but has aspirations to be upper class. (Or his overbearing, aspirational mummy encouraged him to behave that way). It's all affectation, and the polar opposite of the Guy Ritchie-type "mockney".
Most people widely considersed "posh", are either upper-middle-class with money (or are aspirational lower/middle-middle-class).
Class is such a complex issue in the Uk, especially when so many try to hide their origin. The middle-classes are generally the worst.
Does posh mean upper class?
JR-M is a star. He certainly cleaned out a few of the guests on BBC's QT last night. A very sharp mind.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Just another bigoted right wing Tory who hides it under a bumbling posh veneer like Boris Johnson

Care to give a referenced quote, interview etc, to back up your claim?
Your statement is the very definition of bigoted.
bigoted (adjective) - obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, and intolerant towards other people's beliefs and practices.

The inimitable Monty Python sketch.
J R-M has had at least six rides! I find that unbelievable...

As a former Labour voter, I was quite impressed with JRM on Question time yesterday.
I think he will go far, there seems to be a dearth of todays politicians with a brain........
Disappointing but not surprising in reference to Westy's screenshot on voting patterns.
