I don't think Johnson is more hated than polls indicated per say, I'd just say it's a natural result of the divide between Older Tory Voters and people under 55 voting majority for Labour.

The pensioners don't have to go out and interact with the world in meaningful ways, they're much more likely to get all their information from the TV and Newspapers rather than digital media, their interactions with the internet are their kids ignoring them on facebook and they rarely feel the need to leave the house. Much more controlled and much less likely to question what's given to them by a media that is very pro tory. They aren't likely to be out and about when Tory PM's are visiting places where as everyone under 55 who has to interact with the real world, has seen it get worse in real time, have had their pensions, wages and benefits hosed with and know it's the tories fault are much more likely to be out and about and boo a Tory PM when he's seen skulking in the corridors of a hospital.

On the flip side to that we have Corbyn who is supposedly more hated than Johnson who can go out in public and be treated really warmly by the majority of people who interact with him. Because all the people who hate him are indoors and shut off from the real world.

I don't think they're card-carrying Tories, at least not under the current state of the party. IIRC Clarkson was very involved with New Labour types, known to party with the Blairs, etc. He's also spoken out against Brexit, presumably because it might make it harder for him to cross the channel and insult the French.

They probably vote Lib Dem now or at least will say they do

Clarkson was best friends with David Cameron and was invited to Thatcher's funeral where he wept like an infected bellend. They're all tories.

Anyway, here's Jacob Rees Moggs giving out advice that would get even more people killed in a fire.

https://twitter.com/stephenkb/status/1191651843484606464

The advice the fire department gives is the correct and best advice you can give when fire breaks out in any high rise building. If the building had been up to code then the fire would have ran into several fire doors which are thick enough and strong enough that it can take about 30 minutes to burn through. There's obviously the risk of the fire moving up through the ceiling through radiation but even that takes time and hopefully enough time for the fire department to get there in time. If people start trying to flee it means hundreds of people rushing around, trampling each other, opening fire doors, feeding oxygen to the flames and potentially accelerating the burning process and getting far more people killed.

Of course all of this goes out the window when your tory council puts extremely flammable cladding on the side of your building that allows the flames to cover the entire structure within minutes all for the sake of £5000 and the property values of a bunch of rich cunts who didn't even plan on living in the flats opposite. Can't really express how disgusted I am with all this. This is a complete whitewash to protect the tory party and that loving idiot councillor who's parents didn't drill enough holes in his head.

The only hope I've got on this any more is that since every workplace makes their employees go through fire safety training videos on a yearly basis so even if you just barely pay attention to it you'll know that what White Nationalist Jacob Rees Moggs says is ether completely ignorant or aggressively cynical. Otherwise everyone with a modicum of power will be trying to sweep this story under the rug as fast as possible.

The point of throwing a dead cat on the table is to distract people from something your side has done. What was the scandal so big that he had to do this and it be less abhorrent than what he just said?

No, this is just Moggs being so insulated and ignorant about how much of a horrible oval office him and his circle are that he didn't see the toxicity of what he was saying and is so used to people not calling him on it that he's probably genuinely surprised at the pushback. This is a man who was photographed as a guest of honour for a group that demanded that non-whites be forcefully removed from the country and the press don't even bring it up.

In other news the Conservatives have spent £174 million on building 200,000 affordable homes and four years on have built exactly zero new affordable homes.

BBC to Tory party revolving door keeps spinning.

Recognise the name?

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/nov/19/bbc-knickers-on-nick-conrad-rapist-ched-evans

quote:

The BBC has apologised after a radio presenter said women should “keep their knickers on” during a discussion on convicted rapist Ched Evans.

Nick Conrad, a talk show host on BBC Radio Norfolk, made the comments in a live debate about the former Sheffield United striker, who has provoked an outcry after returning to train with the club.

Conrad said: “I think women need to be more aware of a man’s sexual desire; that when you’re in that position that you are about to engage in sexual activity there’s a huge amount of energy in the male body, there’s a huge amount of will and intent, and it’s very difficult for many men to say no when they are whipped up into a bit of a storm.

“And it’s the old adage about if you yank a dog’s tale then don’t be surprised when it bites you.

“Or you can’t keep snakes in the garden and think they’ll only bite your neighbours.”

He went on to suggest feminists had “hijacked” or “jumped on” the debate and appear to be “anti-men”.

That's where you know him from.
