Tory MP suggests Somerset timezone

[Richard Hakluyt]

No castle. But his father-in-law, the rather splendidly-named Somerset Struben de Chair, owned Chilham Castle for a few years back in the 1940s.

Apparently it's part of a plan to try and foil the bill.  Another Tory amendment would rename it the 'Berlin Time' Bill.

However Rees-Mogg's added: "Where Somerset goes, I think the world would follow," Rees-Mogg declared, "and I think we would replace Greenwich Mean Time with Somerset Mean Time."

I don't see the joke there.  Nice Castle though.

Read that sentence again.  How much more British could it possibly be?

[Ideologue]

He's not an aristocrat. Far less posh than Cameron who wanted Jacob's sister, Anunziata Rees-Mogg, to call herself 'Annie' when running to be a Tory MP

Does his family own a castle?
