    Great stuff by him.

    That John Bercow must be the most biased Speaker the House has seen. Kicking an MP out for calling someone "dodgy", yet I've seen him sit and do nothing but piss himself for 5 minutes when the childish Tory ****ers were being disrespectful and jeering Jeremy Corbyn, not allowing him to get a word out. I don't think Corbyn is a sensible bloke but that was an utter disgrace.

    Rules are rules JC. You can't malign members in Parliament. Calling him Dodgy was just that.

    I'm not defending Cameron either.

    And as for Bercow, he has a long history of bias against the Tories precisely because he's too scared to show bias towards his own party.

    They'd love to be shot of him mate.

    Same as when Betty Boothroyd wouldn't let Labour take advantage.

    There's a natural psychological reaction to sub-consciously bias against your own natural instinct when required to play the neutral role.

    Bunch of ****ing idiots dorks and nerds who argue the toss about stuff they are so removed from it's embarrassing.

    It'd be far better if they all just started shooting each other in the face.

    Now there's a thought for a reality tv show that I would be glued too every ****ing day. You can only kill 10 per day or the show won't last very long, lol

    Politician Deathmatch

    I don't fancy Jeremy's chances much.

    Any psychotic nutter politicians who would be early favourites?

    David "baby face" Cameron, would want to hold on to his power.
    Invite Jerry Adams and Martin McGuiness into the house for question time and that show will be over in about 10 ****ing minutes.

    I don't find Corbyn to be that honest, really. Skinner is, but Corbyn voted against the party whip many times and now he seems to expect his MPs to toe the party line when he wants something doing.

    I'm sure I read that no one has voted against the Party whip more than Corbyn. How is he supposed to engender loyalty when he never showed that himself?

    And using honesty and any politicians name in the same sentence, unless it's being used as an example of irony, has to be the biggest bloody oxymoron in history!

    I appreciate that rules are rules but it has to be applied equally. It can't be one rule for one and one rule for another. I didn't see Bercow saying anything when the term "terrorist sympathiser" was being dished out, a bit more harsh than "dodgy" wouldn't you say?

    I would. Who said that then?

    They're all terrorist sympathisers, one way or another. They just don't say it.

    Menachem Begin, ex-PM of Israel was a terrorist in the Stern gang. Mugabe, Arafat, etc, etc.

    David Cameron directly called Corbyn a terrorist sympathiser a couple of months ago. Bercow laughed.

    Doesn't look good does it, but I guess it depends on the context.

    Yes, I remember that.
    The one time Cameron told the truth.

    The difference being that Cameron used the terrorist sympathiser's proper title. The Speaker is the only one allowed to use an MP's name in the chamber.
