I hope your local MP is Jacob Rees Mogg.

If JRM ever loses his fingers it will be because he had his hand in the till.

I find the man almost impossible to believe real, he's a real life caricature of what people think of a Tory. People talk about the privileged upbringings of Cameron and BoJo but they at least seem personable, at least on a superficial level. Mogg though is like the looming spectre of despair, he's so cold and unrelatable, completely removed from real life yet in a position to shape it.

I'm glad he's been removed from the public eye leading up to the election because of his comments about all those people who died in the Grenfell tower fire.

He reminds me of lord snooty from the Beano. He's got the affectation of a Victorian ghost and has some very olde world views on women and undoubtedly other 18th century opinions that even he knows to stfu about.

Let it bite you, then charge the owner.

It’s 2019 lol

This is a dilemma I face irl every time I even see a dog. They're cute but uh, where's the freeze and stand perfectly still option?

[Angel]

Cover your balls and hope the dog shows mercy...

[Z i o ⚡]

Side step and find objects you can use if there are any, or you could report the owner.

bring a power supply with you and wield a magnetron to cook that dog

I pet the dog.

My dog might well run up to you and want to lick your face. She loves people.

If some idiot attacked her, they'd have much more serious problems than worrying about a dog bite.

For the frightened, timid, doggy-haters out there, most dogs (like wolves) tend to take down their prey from behind. If you aren't sure, stand tall, make yourself look bigger, wave your arms and shout. That would dissuade almost any animal...and if it didn't, then defending yourself wouldn't be an unreasonable thing to do.

People and their dogs have been living together for over fifteen thousand years. If you are that terrified of pets, then maybe you should avoid parks where dogs are playing until you can get yourself some counselling?

Better yet, go up to dog owners and ask permission to greet their dogs. You'll quickly learn that your irrational fears are unfounded.

Any medium sized dogs or bigger scares me. I was traumatized when I was a child because my dad told me not to run away from a German Shepard. Me being a 6 year old idiot decided to run away as he chased me down and playfully pounced and licked me to death.

i can't really avoid parks because dog owners here dicide that everywhere is a park.

you can't legally have your dog loose but people do it anyway.

can you read part of the dogs behaviour reliably to see what it's intention is? i don't want to kick a playful dog at all! i have cats too and would be hella mad if someone hurt them.

they just creep me out. :(

yeah kids do that and it doesn't work. but i kinda feel that 99% of the time the parents are to blame. please pick your kids up. cuz that flight instinct is strong. but that chase instinct is stronger.

I would jump vertically, grab my ankles and do the splits while the dog runs underneath me. Then I'd say to the dog's owner, "oh, is this your dog's tennis ball?"

In my country, we have a lot of dogs... and I love every single one of them.

I'll rather it be that, than some human with a stupid gun law country. At least the dog is logical and would only attack as it's last option. A human would be shoot first, ask questions later, and in their own fear probably hit 20 other people in the cross-fire.

Plus a dog is hand to hand combat, where you have 4 defenses (arms and legs) against just 1 (the dog's bite). You seriously actually have the advantage.

Actually, I'd hand over a Snickers and say

"There, better now?"

Something to that effect.

Aaah, so you rather poison the dog, than fight it. Clever plan my good sir.

If i see a dog running towards me and its big and seems aggressive i'm preparing to kick it to face as hard as i can. I dont want to hurt any animals, especially doggos, but i dont want to take risk of getting mauled by a dog either. If the dog is unleashed in public place its illegal, and whatever happens is on the owners responsibility.

I do not plan on owning a dog... This is purely satire....?
