I think the Speakers response that "the dinosaurs lived for millions of years" was especially humourous, first probably a jibe against the fundy DUP and that eventually they will no longer exist.

Settle down, i'm about an hour behind, May's just got on and i'm not sure if the Salmon joke is inspired because she made a bad joke to poke fun at her robotic nature or it's just plan bad

Clever considering some of them are dinosaur deniers
That's why it was so great, especially when John Bercow told the DUP MP not to be too offended as dinosaurs had survived for millions and millions of years
Whilst ribbing the previous fisheries minister about getting cod and skate mixed up in a report she said something along the lines of "parliament would at least be pleased there was no salmond there this time"

Next week they vote on it AFAIK.
It's this level of thinking that makes you and your chosen leadership role models so covfefe and clearly much smarterer than, tax paying, socially / emotionally intelligent, non mud slinging, less awkward woman types.

Was there any mention of fox hunting in the Queen's speech? I don't recall that there was. Hopefully common sense will prevail and the ban is upheld.

I detest the habit and expectation that all politicians know everything. I make no defence for Boris, other than I'd respect him a lot more if he said 'I don't know the detail but [INSERT RELEVANT MINISTER] is better placed to answer than me'. Rather than rant about it again I'll just link to the same point I made in Speaker's Corner: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/30895141/
It's not even down to that. The point is there are no answers for anyone to give because politicians, May in this case but it applies to anyone trying to win an election, can say anything they want to get in and then do something entirely different and suffer no repercussions. So long as we obsess over majority governments and people are whipped to vote on party lines this will continue, and the notion that any opposition can hold a government to account is utterly flawed as the government can ignore them and whip its own MPs.
So no, it's nothing to do with Boris, but he is basically being asked to explain why British politics is utter rubbish.
