Jacob Rees-Mogg says university protests against him were ‘legitimate, if noisy’

1. He’s right, all of the people saying these were violent pro-Hamas protestors need to give their heads a wobble.

2. Most people I know can’t stand him but I find Jacob Rees-Mogg to be fairly level-headed with common sense. He’s totally right here and glad he recognizes the right to peaceful protest regardless of whether he holds the views of the protestors or not.

3. Funny, coz the far right nutters like Darren “crafty wank” Grimes and Richard “the reality is” Tice think these protests should never have happened and everyone should’ve been arrested….

4. I can’t stand the guy, but fair play to him on this – he’s right of course, it is legitimate protest.

5. What pit of hell is this where I agree with Jacob Rees Mogg.

   Strange days ,indeed

6. Shame on the Labour politicians clutching their pearls and stoking outrage about these peaceful protests. I thought these were supposed to be the good guys?

8. JRM is an interesting one for me, I disagree with the vast majority of what he stands for and believes, but I respect how he acts in debates and towards people who disagree with him, and think he’s respectable in a lot of ways.

   I regularly think he’s a tit, but I don’t think he lacks principles, changes his views to score points, disrespects people who disagree with him, or holds anyone to a different standard etc.

9. The Rt. Hon. Member of Parliament for the XIX century, or as a dear friend (who happens to live on his constituency calls him), Reesy-Moggy…

10. The man seems like lunatic. I don’t see any redeeming features in him.

11. He’s right. In the same way a broken clock is right twice a day. 

12. I do wonder what that guy who was trying to force himself past the security guys would have done if he’d made it to Mogg. He probably didn’t know himself.
