I am probably actually one of the few in this thread who actually listened to the interview, not relying on the media, which is often pushing an agenda. He actually does not victim blame...he just says that's what he'd do in that situation.

I watched the interview too and it doesn't make what he said any better...

He said that the common sense thing to do was to leave the building-in contravention to what people where told by experys. If he had said that his own instinct would always be to flee a building on fire then it might a bit better but the gist of it is that he would have done the correct thing while all those dead people might have survived if the had "common sense"

Yes, most people aspire to something more than a council estate unless you came from nothing. Politics of envy is rather unpleasant.

Of course, if that is something we where actually discussing... You know what's amusing, trained emergency experts, who have experience in these kind of things would never think to criticize the actions of people in a life threatening situation but Rees-Moggs, with a grand total of sweet FA experience in any life threatening situation says, conveniently that the course of action recommended by an in depth study is actually common sense and something he would obviously have done.?

Sorry mate I know he's your hero but just admitting that it was a shitty thing to say would be far more honest than these contortions of logic...

Expect that to flip flop at least 4 more times....

And then for the Brexit party to be a monumental non-entity in the new government.

It was expected. His ultimatum failed, Bojo called his bluff, and he had to climb down

Yeah, and he will pretend to grow a backbone in the next few weeks and claim to not run.. then run everywhere, then probably settle on everywhere that the Tories didn't win.

And only a week or so ago...

Nigel Farage today declared war on Boris Johnson’s plan to leave the EU saying it was “not Brexit”.

“It’s not Brexit ... He is trying to sell a secondhand motor,” he said at the launch of his party’s election campaign in central London. “He has polished up the bonnet but actually underneath nothing has changed. This is Mrs May’s appalling surrender treaty. Boris’s deal ... will not get Brexit done.”

Nine Russian business people who gave money to the Conservative Party are named in a secret intelligence report on the threats posed to UK democracy which was suppressed last week by Downing Street.

Oligarchs and other wealthy Tory donors were included in the report on illicit Russian activities in Britain by the cross-party intelligence and security select committee (ISC), whose publication was blocked by No 10.

Some Russian donors are personally close to the prime minister. Alexander Temerko, who has worked for the Kremlin’s defence ministry and has spoken warmly about his “friend” Boris Johnson, has gifted more than £1.2m to the Conservatives over the past seven years.

Farage claims he was offered peerage days before standing down Brexit Party candidates in Tory-held seats

‘Serious questions should be asked about what Boris Johnson offered to Nigel Farage in exchange for this deal’
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk
Nigel Farage claims he was offered a peerage just three days before standing down Brexit Party candidates in 317 Tory-held seats.

The party leader rejected accusations of a pact with Boris Johnson for the sudden ditching of his plan to fight for “a real Brexit” in every seat at next month’s general election.

But, asked if he was offered a peerage, he replied: “I was offered one last Friday.
