JACOB REES-MOGG A JOKER OR A SMOKER?

There are people who believe that they are something special and that they are always right. 

We are in a living crisis and what our government came out with was the news that they intend to cut 90,000 civil servants jobs which apparently are a burden and they are the reason that the UK is not doing well as it should and we are in a "living crisis". 

For our government this will make all the changes and necessary savings. 

Don't be fooled. Boris Johnson is trying to give a boot to people who are working in Passport Offices, Probation, DVLA, ... There was a crisis in DVLA recently where civil servants were working from home having Netflix paid by taxpayers’ money and doing nothing. However, there is a shortage of staff in probation, prisons, ....

This smells more like austerity and not progress with jobs and wellbeing at all. 

I am a bit lost!

We have a government and Boris Johnson who is saying day by day that we have the highest employment.

Question: Where does Boris Johnson intend to employ these 90,000 workers?

Answer: They will be in job centres looking for the jobs, at the same centres which just let them go and cancel their employment.

However, Jacob Rees-Mogg was even more patronising, saying in an interview on Friday 13th May 2022 for Sky News that people must not double up with the communication stuff. 

If I am not mistaken, normally ministers have one or two advisors at most.

Question: How many advisors Jacob Rees-Mogg has?

Answer: 4 (four) advisors. 

Mind you, all 5 doing nothing. 

But Jacob Rees-Mogg is very active elsewhere:

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s new job as minister for ‘Brexit opportunities’ could make him substantially richer through his shares in an $8bn investment fund, experts have warned.

Rees-Mogg is a major shareholder in Somerset Capital, which he founded, and stands to gain if its funds benefit from Brexit trade deals. The firm specialises in investment across ‘emerging markets and major economies, such as China.

The government insists Rees-Mogg will not make decisions “in respect of financial services”, though could not give a full description for his new brief.

But Susan Hawley, executive director of Spotlight on Corruption, told open Democracy: “Rees-Mogg’s vast investment portfolio in dozens of sectors across several continents could pose a serious conflict of interest with his reported intention of axing a thousand regulations when he could stand to benefit personally from the process.”
