And this man is in the cabinet!
What an idiotic statement. Still he is the chap who reckoned you could avoid Covid by singing the national anthem while washing your hands.
The Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg said he believes fish are “better and happier” at being fully “British” now the Brexit process is complete. “The key is we’ve got our fish back – they’re now British fish! And better and happier for it!” he exclaimed.

Cringeworthy.
The whole thing sounds like a Steven Fry line from Blackadder.

Re: And this man is in the cabinet!
I rather get the impression the fish are happier not because they're British but because there's less incentive to catch them.

Funnily enough, I work with a lot of primary schools across his constituency, and whenever his name crops up, it's frequently not treated with perhaps the respect he might hope is due...

Re: And this man is in the cabinet!
Surely if the fish is 'happy' it'd be heartless to catch it, cook it and eat it!
I'm reminded of the Ameglian Major Cow in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There we had a beast that "not only wanted to be eaten, but was capable of saying so, clearly and distinctly".
Same with this 'happy fish' surely? No thanks! I'll have Arthur's green salad...

You are right about him but the voters chose him. What does that say about the area he represents.

The same as the whole of the UK the voters chose the present government on a single sound bite,this is what we got for it.

...funnily enough, one of the nicest sea-food outlets I found recently is / was in Chew Magna, plumb in the middle of Rees-Mogg's consituency. A small shop unit, they've done it out as a wet-fish shop with a kitchen, and room to eat (just!) at small tables round the sides. Simply look to see what you like the look of and ask them to cook it. Worked well, the times I've been. Bit pricey, mind... reviews here. No sign of J R-M
