He’s a better person than Ian Bone (I agree, it’s a terrible thing to say and do to someone’s children), but I can’t see Rees-Mogg getting the higher ground for his generally moronic ideas. ---

This just shows why that sort of protesting is so idiotic and ineffective - it’s made someone as terrible as Mogg look like the victim and the better person. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > It seems that the speaker was Ian Bone of Class War who has close links with Labour and Corbyn. Class War hate Labour and indeed all parliamentary politicians. They’re anarchists who sometimes go on the same demonstrations as more mainstream groups. ---

Anarchists aren’t the left, they’re just jerks. I hate the Corbyn cult, but claiming that Class War is close to Labour just isn’t true. > **[Jacob Rees-Mogg's children told 'your daddy is horrible' during 'sick' Class...](https://news.sky.com/story/jacob-rees-moggs-children-told-your-daddy-is-horrible-during-sick-class-war-protest-11496049)** > > The leading Tory Brexiteer was targeted outside his Westminster home by "Class War" activist Ian Bone. ,Mr Bone appears to be equally opposed to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, posting on Twitter last year: “F\*\*\* LABOUR! F\*\*\* CORBYN! WE ARE CLASS WAR!”, ---

Well, if he’s F\*\*\*ing Corbyn, that means they’re “closely linked”, right? So the OP is spot on and not in any way disingenuous or misleading! 😉 ---
