Being eligible for dual or multi-nationality is one thing. Actually applying for it and holding it is another entirely. Does anyone KNOW that Jacob Rees-Mogg HOLDS either an Irish, or American Passport? I rather doubt that he does. I think that having had an Irish-American grandmother is a bit tenuous for claiming US Citizenship - might even be true for the Irish connection as well - can't really be arsed to look it up but I think it has got to be direct parent, and even with that there are qualifications.

By the bye Shaw I would rather have hoped by now that you would have realised that I am not in the least bit interested in your opinions on anything. Were that not the case, the fact that you seem to have such a particularly low opinion of the man would only recommend him to me better than a glowing reference from anyone else - If he has prompted your ire then he must be doing something right.
