“Arrogante”, “insolente” e “insuportável” para uns, uma piada para outros. Depois de Jacob Rees-Mogg ter sido repreendido pelos colegas por estar relaxadamente deitado nos sofás verdes do Parlamento britânico enquanto se discutia o Brexit e o futuro do governo — “Sit up, man!” ou, em português, “Senta-te, homem!”, o deputado conservador ganhou um novo papel nos debates — tornou-se um meme. Após o debate tardio de três horas em Londres, a imagem reclinada e sorridente de Rees-Mogg passou a inspirar piadas por toda a internet.
As mais espirituosas, pelo menos a contar pelo números de “gostos” e de partilhas que têm recolhido, são as que colocam Jacob Rees-Mog no meio de pinturas renascentistas, em gráficos decadentes da realidade britânica, na prática do salto em altura, a relaxar em cenários dos Simpsons ou a ser desenhado como um “idiota” pela personagem de Leonardo DiCaprio em “Titanic” — “Draw me like one of your French girls”, dizia Rose.
No meio da tensão que se abateu no Reino Unido depois de Boris Johnson ter suspendido o Parlamento com o aval da Rainha Isabel II, tudo em vésperas da prevista saída do país da União Europeia, os britânicos conseguiram encontrar um motivo para rir à gargalhada e desanuviar da crise política. Os motivos estão aqui em baixo.
