Bercow And Trump

[Canary42]

Speaker Bercow doesn't want Trump to speak in Parliament because of his sexist and racist views.

If applied rigourously, I wonder how many MPs that would rule out

Who said this

''We very much hope that your time here will assist the process of illumination. On behalf of our Parliament I invite you, Mr President, to address us.''


And who was it addressed to?

//Still, he is without a doubt the least respected speaker since the war,//

Truman commented: the vicepresidency aint worth a bucket of poss

I cant think of any speakers since the war w/o looking it up

The tailor George Thomas and the go go dancer Beryl Boothroyd
Selwyn Lloyd in the sixties - and that fellow who almost got impeached - now Lord Martin
we cant impeach him so lets send him to the house of Lords - its worse !
and I have run out of Speakers - oh there was one from Itchen So'ton - apparently the main parties doent stand in elections against speakers

No . I posted about Bercow and Trump.

//Mikey, can you tell me what is ‘well said’ about encouraging the potential creation of ill feeling between nations?//

Perhaps there is no affinity with either Nation there.

//He was happy to invite the president who said we'd have to go to the back of the queue but doesn't mind insulting the one who says we'll be at the front of the queue. //

divebuddy - when did he say that then ?

To be honest I did think you would struggle to comprehend the meaning of the post, anne.

Isn't everyone here getting out of synch with what is going on, inc that numpty, Bercow. The date has yet to be set and could be in two or three years time, after Lumpy Trumpy has either proven himself as a genuine leader - or has been shot, and we have Prespence to contend with.

p.s. I bet Mrs Bercow and Mrs Trump the nth, will get on very well by their hostile body language....

and who threatened to put troops in the estados unidos de Mejico ?
and slammed down the phone on the Prime Minister of Oz ?
both with the intentions of being presidential and fostering wonderful relations between countries

does Ni have her irony klaxon jammed full on this week ?

why - I think it was Pres Trump !

and as for errant Fed judges - why doesnt he invoke his second amendment and go around and shoot him ?
that will foster good relations with the judiciary

Togo...what I and others have been saying for a long time now is that while we show respect to America, that respect doesn't extend to this boorish, racist, ogre.

He needs to earn that respect and unless he takes steps to do that, he can expect nothing but the minimum from Britain. He has shown no intention of behaving like a potential world Leader as yet.

If you listen to what Bercow, he is only voicing what millions of people, all over the world are saying....handsome is as handsome does. He who lives by the sword, end up dying by the sword.

[Bazile]

divebuddy - no .
When did Trump say we will be at the front of the queue ?

So I am aware, the Speaker is supposed to be neutral. Mr. Bercow may have and express his opinions - but not from the Speaker's chair! It is not appropriate for him to express them publicly anywhere, to be honest - that's the job he accepted and is paid for. I don't know if the Speaker can be disciplined - but he should be i.m.o..

@ 21:09 Mon 06th Feb 2017 ,mikey ... anything?

[Ellipsis]

Are we talking about the So-Called President of the United States again?

SCPOTUS FTW!

You know when you've been Bercow'd ...

George Thomas wasn't a tailor; that was Bernard Weatherall,
