Mogged By Reality

In what way is Jacob Rees-Mogg "authentic"?

There are more than enough Old Etonians in public life for it to be clear that he is utterly unlike any of them.

His "upper-class accent" is no more reminiscent of any other upper-class person's than that of Lady Colin Campbell, who also insists that she has one.

As with Boris Johnson, heavily contrived eccentricity is always a sign of being a boring person, and often also a sign of being a nasty one.
