This guy is awesome: "Here's what I would like to think that these honourable gentlemen are thinking" "here is what they are actually trying to do" Sensible discussion and discourse to oppose viewpoints rather than logical fallacies are essential in government, and this guy preserved those values as long as he could.

@daanmollema63664 жыл бұрын
That would be what common sense would say, but a speaker can't put forward a motion to the house. It's not as easy as just a "show of hands", there's a lot of constitutional restrictions at play there. EDIT: It is, however, the constitutional duty for both Speakers to decide whether or not a foreign dignitary can adress Parliament. So he's done nothing but fulfill his role constitutionally.

My mom used to say to and of my father, that if you cut ff his hands he could not speak! My mom had a Jewish grandmother, but was a raving Christian scientist, and my father was a gentle, principled man whose grandfather came from Germany and had no Jewish ancestry as far as I know. I love expressive people, hands and all. Maybe my spirit is Jewish! Or maybe you have a limited idea of the wonderful variation of humanities ways of communicating ?

@tiziocaio62363 жыл бұрын
John is the embodiment of pomposity brought about, it is thought, by certain inadequacies and the need to compensate for the vertically challenged condition he has had to bear. In a way this has contributed to his evident deep level of insecurity that size has had on him and his almost ghastly and unpleasant use of the English language which resonates with no one except himself. It was a cruel blow to John's self-esteem to have been denied a peerage which would have made complete and crowned that journey of his towards the maximum in ostentatiousness. It is hoped that Johnson reviews the honours list, sees sense and puts an end to the conservative dislike of John and to bestow upon him that honour which he has strived for throughout his life and one which he so richly deserves. Nobody, however conceited, short or otherwise, should have been treated in the way the conservatives have treated Bercow

@@eleni1968 It is quite simple. John Bercow does not submit to the hardliners of Brexit and does not play their game. That's why he was for Brexiteers biased. They would like to see the speaker and parliament to surrender unconditionally to their terms. Don't expect an answer from a Brexiteer and if there is one - you will often be insulted.

@@eleni1968 He did actually come out and openly say that he was a remainer. He was addressing some university students at the time. I can't remember which university it was, but he said that he was a remainer because he feared that being outside of the EU we would be less likely to attract foreign investment to our shores. Strictly speaking he should be completely impartial on political matters, and he clearly crossed that line in this respect when he addressed these students on this occasion. The speach he gave was actually on YT at one point I believe.

@@daanmollema6366 It was deemed unlawful by the supreme court that created a new paragraph to the existing statute. Bercow assisted in the process to make that possible. So promoted by self interest to see his personal opinion justified. A 1st for the supreme court to make the law, as opposed to adjudicate in the interpretation. It backfired into an 80 seat majority for the Tory's. Hmmm!

All that shows is that A) As dictated by COMMON SENSE, proroguing parliamant for Tory political gains is immoral and unlawful, as the Supreme Court ruled and B) That the British people are sick of all this nonsense and just want Brexit to happen already which is understandable, but a different discussion.
