A MOST CIVILISED POLITICIAN - HE PREFERS TO EAT FISH AND CHIPS WITH A KNIFE AND FORK!

 

Brexit Opportunities Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg yesterday went walkabout on Cleethorpes Prom to meet with residents, visitors, traders and the media. He predicted that new Freeport status for Immingham - not possible when the UK was part of the EU - could generate up to 7,000 jobs though he was scant on detail. Highlight of the minister's visit was a trip to Papa's restaurant and takeaway on the pier for a chance to watch the staff in action and to sample the haddock and chips. Asked if he would eat them, holidaymaker-style, with his fingers, he replied in the style of a true Eton and Establishment toff: "I prefer to use a knife and fork." Well spoken, that man! After 10,000 year's civilisation, why would anyone still eat like Stone Age man?
