He probably learnt those daft cut and pasting skills at boarding school, cut and pasting is skill in itself, personally I think there should be classes in it, number one lesson has to be is don’t cut and paste anything that has had a wide or wider audience than the new piece of work which has the cut and pasted section in it.
Number 2 – Don’t cut and paste if you have any enemies because it is an open goal to rivals to throw bucketloads of intellectual poo over you.

Pot plant Tories? I remember Norman St John Stevas seen at LA airport in about 1971 trying to get on a World Airways charter (on his way home from a couple of academic conferences) while carrying a tall pot plant. Lots of other people were carrying things as well, and the Captain made them put all of those extras on baggage trolleys to go in the hold. Norman’s plant was last seen sticking out of the top of a trolley on its way to the plane. Whether he got it into the UK I never heard.

I’d have thought he’d have learned the lessons of that chap in Dorset South who doctored the photo in the 2005 election. Jacob Rees-Mogg is obviously more of a “potted plant” than he thinks.

A certain Alistair Campbell plaigerised an internet thesis. We went to war, we’re still there and millions of people are dead including a continual daily toll on our service-men and women. All Rees-Mogg did was to miss out an acknowledgement. Get real.

I remember him at university well – he didn’t strike me as a particularly serious person.

I did name my cat after him, though.
