Vandals attack Jacob Rees-Mogg's home with spray paint and leave pink sex toy on car

Jacob Rees-Mogg's home has been vandalised by hoodlums who sprayed "shut up and die" on his garage and left a pink sex toy on his car, reports claimed.

Other graffiti slogans painted on the Tory MP's windows and garage in West Harptree, Somerset, said "posh scum" and "****head", according to the Sun.

Condoms were left hanging from a cross in his garden and the vandals also daubed an anarchy symbol on his Range Rover.

It couldn't happen to a nicer chap.

[pErvinalia]

Is he a bit of a prude?

[Rum]

Probably, but he is also a very right wing MP, Brexiteer and Christian, who appears to think he lives in the 1930s.

[pErvinalia]

That face needs punching.

[JimC]

I think he would prefer to scourge himself...

[Svartalf]

He'd need to realize he's been ever so wrong before he decides on such a course, which, with him being a conservative, I doubt he's at all able to.

[Scot Dutchy]

He is a greedy little bastard.

Predictably this has been celebrated by the kind of morons who were nevertheless out for blood a few days earlier when a socialist bookshop in London was similarly vandalised. Seems it's okay to vandalise property if you find the owner objectionable (logic they're apparently incapable of applying in reverse to themselves).

Some can afford to repair damages whilst for other folks it's a bankruptcy ticket. Not taking sides. Only saying there are sides here and the midpoint isn't always halfway.

I think any "socialist bookshop" that can afford to set up home in Bloomsbury, London, is probably not short of a few bob either. Not that it's relevant to the law or morality of vandalising the property of those you disagree with.

@cronus How do you propose to stem this rising tide of domestic terrorism?

@cronus How do you propose to stem this rising tide of domestic terrorism?

There is no cure for the times. Ride the wave or be subsumed by the wave. There is no avoiding the evil times which catch men like a fish in a net. What do you propose? Taking sides in a idiots brawl?

[Jason]

Work intelligently - you know hearts and minds - that kind of stuff.

[Rum]

I don't condone either 'side' using tactics like this, but Rees Mogg is a particularly hypocritical and nasty member of the privileged class - another Eton graduate.

He's a big supporter of Brexit, who just happens to have a large offshore account in his name, deposited shortly after the referendum - you know 'just in case'. He speaks and looks like someone who thinks Britain was much better off when the 'toffs' were visibly in charge and the hoypoloi didn't have access to things like 'university'. He is also a creeping Christian, trying to insinuate religion into politics in ways that we have banished generally speaking for generations. He is thoroughly unpleasant.
