That MP was talking about something important that MPs should be debating. Bercow is a tit.

The commons just seems totally boy's club and inefficient still. No discipline whatsoever.

russell664 · 7 Jul 2015 at 16:24

Bercow is indeed a tit, a big blue one.

But, the MP knew the rules and he overstepped them. What is the point in rules if you dont follow them?

Maybe the rules need to be changed. He does seem a pompous oaf but i guess he is only following written guidelines?

OhEsEcks · 7 Jul 2015 at 16:40

The rules are, get to the point with your question. Then he wouldn't have to tell people to hurry up. It's not the first time he's had to do it. Probably won't be the last.

D3K · 7 Jul 2015 at 16:50

He shut the lib dem down cos he was itching to get back to some OCUK modding.

kissenger · 7 Jul 2015 at 16:51

Rules are the rules. Bercow is great. He's equally despised by all sides of the house, which is as it should be. He doesn't give a **** what party you're from he will regulate on your ass in the blink of an eye if he thinks you're taking the ****.

Jon Bercow is the best speaker this country has had in a long time - he is actively trying to modernise parliament, ditch antiquated and bizarre traditions (for example, he has decided to wear even less of the traditional costume worn by speakers) and enthusiastically insists that for all roles of clerk and other important civil servants in parliament that at least one woman is interviewed (trying to check the gender imbalance prevalent in HoP). He's not afraid to get stuck in and tell of ministers, or even the PM:

Plus I chatted to him for a couple of hours in 2013 and he's an all-round top guy haha.

Von Smallhausen · 7 Jul 2015 at 17:31

John Bercow comes across as a pompous, condescending jobsworth with appalling arrogance.

As a moderniser though, he deserves credit.

scorza · 7 Jul 2015 at 17:44

Best thing Gordon Brown's government ever did was appoint Bercow as Speaker.

Bad case of small man syndrome there

Joining Jack fury at Commons speaker

This story has popped up on my news feed and there is no thread on here so thought I would share. A lot of rugby fans and northerns will know about the joining jack charity.
I know there will be differing opinions about this but doesn't this just make the house look like complete Muppets - yes he may have talked to long - but really.

Should be furious at the MP for not being able to ask a question in parliament in accordance with the rules - especially as it's such a serious subject. Speaker was just doing his job.
