House speaker John Bercow facing no confidence motion
Re: House speaker John Bercow facing no confidence motion
Hard-line Eurosceptic Tory having a tantrum because bercow told some students he voted to remain.
As far as I can tell his conduct in the house is pretty even handed, which is what he should be judged on, oven if I do think he's a bit of a twat.
Can't really see this going anywhere.

The Speaker does NOT have an opinion and is supposed to remain neutral.
ps this is the same speaker that welcomed the Chinese President and worse of all - he graciously licked the bum of the Emir of Kuwait - who has banned homosexuals and Israeli Jews from his country.
pps - I dont recall seeing the sexist, racist demo's when the Emir Kuwait was here do you ?
Back of the net, my guess the comment was a clever ploy to muster Labour and SNP support in readiness for a potential vote of no confidence, which has been floating around for a while, hey they are politicians.

None of those guys would have addressed the entire commons in the Westminster hall though.

Here is some faux outrage from the right just to prove it does exist. Man says something you don't like so you start screaming about the rules.

They have been trying to get rid of him for a long time now. He seems pretty neutral to me.

He likes to grandstand ,his ego is off the rictar scale as is his dear wife Sally ,he's a centralist socialist at heart.
Like most people in power they become aloof from reality, in this case it was not his position to comment, and as pointed out, smacks of hypocrisy as other dangerous loons from less democratic countries have been allowed to speak in Westminster in front of a group of perfect ,upstanding, members of parliament .

From what I see - it's only people on the left that are virtually on a permanent demo / march, just because they didnt like someone else's election result - pathetic personified
Some people like to march and demonstrate. Most people I know who think trump is a twat haven't actively voiced that opinion because they know that there isn't any point.
Brown-nosing Trump may do us more harm than good.

Both houses are a circus of pageantry and nonsense and this is the thing that people decide to be outraged by?

A bit like you ignoring all the terrible world leaders and appalling human rights records but immediately jump on the anti Trump bandwagon because it looks great on your various egotistical social media platforms.
