Jacob Rees-Mogg Asked If He Knows What KFC Is In New Interview
Jacob Rees-Mogg has clarified his stance on KFC during an appearance on the Telegraph’s ‘Daily T’ podcast, describing it as “disgusting” and “horrible”.
A lot of people might agree with that – especially with whatever they’re putting into the meals these days – but I bet you could never express your distaste for KFC in the way this quintessentially smug pr1ck can:
The Tory politician and former MEP said: “It’s disgusting. Oh no, revolting. It’s horrible.
“I’ve had chips from a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet when I was at prep school. There was one in the Warwick Way and I occasionally got them on the way back from school. But this is going back to the latter quarter of the last century.
“But no, I wouldn’t go anywhere near it.”
A ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet’? The guy couldn’t get any posher if he tried. But then what do you expect from a man who has arguably the largest collection of ‘out of touch’ quotes of any British politician in living memory, including:
– Admitting that he’s never changed a nappy in his life, saying instead: ‘the nanny does it brilliantly’ (he has six kids).
– Claiming that the increase in food bank use “is rather uplifting and shows what a good, compassionate country we are.”
– Admitting “I’ve never ironed a shirt, changed a nappy or boiled an egg”
– In 2019, when discussing the Grenfell Tower fire, suggested the victims should have used “common sense” to evacuate the building against official “stay put” advice.
All guaranteed vote winners right there. Is it any wonder the Tories are in the mud?
