The IDSs, Rees-Moggs and the Borises in church too

This is a brilliant piece about the Brexiteers. It appeard in yesterday's Guardian.

It refers to the dress of Ian Duncan Smith, the buffoonery of Boris Johnson and best of all, 'Jacob Rees-Mogg dresses like both the corpse and the undertaker'.

It's a great article on the state of Brexit but it is unknowingly/unwittingly a brilliant comment on what's happening in the clerical caste of the Catholic Church at present, although there are Christian references in the piece.

The Rees-Mogg attire, the Halloween-style hats of IDS and then the flowing habits, the cassocks, the hats, the long black coats. The similarities are hilarious if not disturbing.
