+++ Speaker Barracked by MPs Over No Confidence Vote +++
15.30 Speaker called a meeting with all party leaders. Gordon Prentice (Labour) and Douglas Carswell (Conservative) made Points of Order regarding the No Confidence Motion that were refused by the Speaker. Told to retire by David Winnick (Labour). David Heath (LibDem) got heated.
Chamber looked ready to do damage.
15.43 Richard Shepherd (Conservative) called for the Motion to be debated. Stuart Bell (Labour) toadied to the Speaker. David Davis asked how the motion could be made into a substantive motion, only with the government’s blessing said the Speaker (to jeers).
15.45 Susan Kramer called for an opposition day debate on the motion.
MPs leave looking unhappy. Speaker gave nothing away.
UPDATE : PoliticsHome have the full transcript.
!
He is trying to wiggle out of the motion. The man has the cunning of a sardine.
Yeah!
He’s gonna get the can!
But he gets redder and redder. Is there a doctor in the House ? Or a cannery expert ?
STOP PRESS: SPEAKER IS NOW IN FAVOUR OF TRANSPARENCY SO SPEAKER ARRANGES SECRET MEETING FOR PARTY LEADERS TO COME UP WITH RESCUE PLAN FOR GORBALS MICK
Botulinum toxin all round
Does anyone else find Michael Martin reallly sexy? I had a wank during that statement. What I’d give to see him in a wig.
Pity he’s such a piss-poor parasite of a speaker, really.
He is feculent
I want to see his tights go right up his bum crack.
A Scottish sardine surely?
Throw away the key!
Well, I thought he did brill!!
http://rantinrab.blogspot.com/2009/05/didnt-he-do-well.html
That’s impossible – even for a computer!
Rick? Bald?
Gorbals Mick scoffs out of a bone china trough in his grace and favour home.
CF:
You know you are dead right; you don’t need me to tell you this. I hate the whole Parliamentary system. We have no representatives…..Only party politics.
I’ve already given my donation to the Jury Team. I don’t perhaps agree with them but they have a better idea about my idea of democracy than the other parties.
Could it be OOOOOrdergate? I knew he wouldn’t stand down. He’s been in politics
for 30 years so he’s well trained in subterfuge. He just doesn’t get it does he, or…
perhaps he does and he’s lingering on to arrange his future nest. The last time he
touched steel was when he ate peas from his knife.
More like a pilchard that’s been at the sauce.
today, mr michael martin stuck two fingers up to parliament.
note to martin: you are self serving scum.
’tis time to pay for your crimes you corrupt, lardy-arsed c’unt.
end of note.
Gorbals won’t retire until he gets an agreement that his wee boy takes over his safe(ish) seat
I bet you like your sardines on toast. Shame on all of you in the lynch mob. Gordon would have a cunning chuckle at this deflection of interest in him – by his own enemies & so-called champions of individual freedom & objectivity.
fucking hoon get the wire out they rapede or arses so give some back the fuckin hoons
I just loved the way that he spent the whole time advertising your blog.
Order-order, order-order, order-order. Couldn’t you get him to add the .com so he could do the job properly?
What he needs is a bomb up his backside; woops that’s where Guido came in.
The wanker knows nothing – he just kept asking his clerks for advice on how to proceed, and parroting the things he was being told.
He’s been in the job for 9 years – he should know this stuff!
But the old Weejie’s just getting fat at our expense.
I hope he has another heart attack, and dies of overindulgence.
Oooh – a Porterhouse Blue in Parliament? Splendid!
He knows exactly the procedure. It’s just pantomime so that he can claim he was only obeying orders.
Yeah, you know, I’d just loved to have had a debate and a vote on my continued occupation but these things are out of my hands. It’s for the government to decide. Not me.
and then some Labour plant giving it….
“There has never been in the history of this House, such an attack on the Speaker”
Aye. And never in the history of this house has a speaker okayed the raiding of an opposition MPs office on the say-so of the government. We are already well beyond what was considered correct parliamentary procedure for the past 300 years or so. Time indeed for a quick show of hands and a quick P45 for this charlatan.
But Brown won’t let that happen. He needs his mate in place to deflect all those difficult-to-answer questions he gets every week.
Martin is going nowhere until June 2010. And either is Brown.
The Weegie wanker would never have got in to Peterhouse *cough* Porterhouse.
Not like McPoison…
The Gorbals is a far rougher school, eh Mick?
Still, the principle’s the same – and it looks like Mr Speaker’s had a fair few chip butties at the local takeaway, after driving there in his chauferred limo, of course.
jgm2
If this isn’t dealt with head on -and by that I mean politics is taken right out of the equation – then there’s going to be trouble.
On the streets.
A troughing Klingon. Less than useless.
Yeah, he was clearly worried by Cameron’s scorching attack.
If by “worried” we mean laughing his fat incompetent arse off because he’s safe as houses as long as call me Dave does f**k all and prevaricates.
The Norway Debate, sometimes called the Narvik Debate, was a famous debate in the British House of Commons that took place on May 7 and May 8, 1940. Ostensibly a debate over one theatre of battle, the Norwegian campaign, the debate witnessed a massive outpouring of criticism and hostility towards the general conduct of the war and the government of Neville Chamberlain. In the vote at the end of the debate there was a sizable rebellion of government supporters who voted against their own government or refused to support it on what was considered a Motion of Confidence (though it was not worded as such). Two days later Chamberlain resigned and was succeeded by Winston Churchill.
The Speaker is a fucking grade A joke, a speaker who cannot speak properly and an utter fat fucking twat, he should go and fuck himself he’s a fucking gibbering wobbling moron, a prize retard. Presiding over and defending the biggest fucking scandal and fraud ever, EVER in the history of Parliament. Fuck off you fucking fat pig, take the hint get your fucking nose out the trough and fuck off, wait for the fucking police to knock at your door at one of your houses. Greasy thieving fucking wanker.
Less diplomacy, old chap, speak your mind. No one here minds a bit of colourful language!
The Penguin.
There’s more fucXs in that then even Gordon Ramset could manage
Tell us what you really feel about the matter don’t hold back old boy
he can barely read articulately from a piece of paper. How the fcuk did he get the speaker’s job ?
Thanks guys re mature language. I hate the mother fucking Hoons, they should burn in hell in a heap of burning manure,
These fuckwits that try to govern us are such wankers that they should be strung up by their bollocks or clits and hung from lampposts in Westminster.
A great bunch of cock suckers we have never seem.
You took the words off the tip of my tongue…
Fuck off you fucking fuckers!
Don’t sugar-coat it, tell us what you really think.
@194 Get to the point Captain what are you trying to say about him
“Elby The Beserk says:
May 18, 2009 at 5:20 pm
You took the words off the tip of my tongue”
Are you sure it was only words he took off your tongue?
Steady on with the language old boy! … Please! I’m afraid all you do by using such offensiveness, is demean yourself and therefore weaken your argument. What I would say is that there’s really no excuse for talking about the sweaty, fat, ignorant, corrupt c unt that is a shit stain on our democracy and calls itself the speaker in those unsavoury terms. He may be a complete fucking wanker and the biggest cu nt amongst all of the many cun ts in the House of Commons and the House of Lords … but please, … lets have some decorum!
Took the words right out my mouth exellent
“There has never been in the history of this House, such an attack on the Speaker”
… apart from the ones who were beheaded. And the one who was murdered…
…yes, but apart from that…
Anon,
I’ve always said we can learn from the lessons of history.
all seven of them.
Lucky C unts
Where is Brown as I have not seen him lately? Has he reverted to standing in the corner of his office with his head up his arse?
He’s hanging out with Beckham and Shearer.
Throw me a Nokia please……..
I have broken down..
oink..bumbed my head again..nurse…
Your chum Gordon
Oh no it’s Rooney. Christ Shearer’s not aging well if I’m getting those two confused.
Rooney. My god. Someone noted today that he’s not going bald – his head is growing through his hair. Is he really human?
I hear he didn’t need long in make-up for his role in Lord of the Rings.
He was attending the launch of Englands bid for the football world cup after next. Very important for the enconomy of the Hoonry and gets him some nice photos.
399, Shearer … worst fucking caretaker since Ian Huntley got a job in Soham ..
He is holding out for terms.
He wants to remain an MP till the next General Gerrymandering (so he can fill his boots with cheap tat to please the cancerous grabbing skelington he’s married to); then, immediately after, be made a Lord and his cheap trash wife be made Lady Skeletor; and finally, his retarded pig-face corrupt scum son, Paul (“thieving Hoon”) Martin, take over from him on the MP Gravy Train as member for Glasgow North East with the full blessing of the filth that run the Labour Party.
He has been shit all his life and never done anything ever to help anyone. His entire existence is one of theft, corruption, lying, bullying and political depravity.
What The Jonah is hanging about with Alan Shearer ? Oh well its relegation for Newcastle then Im afraid !
In other words a good socialist. JD.
You don’t like him then?
Exactly!!! I am confused as well!
How come Members of Parliament learn that a motion of no confidence on the speaker is against the rules only when they call the motion????
idiots are they
I could do a motion over the lot of em
@ Bewilderbeast
I am speechless too!
Like all jocks they hate the english but there all down here living the goodlife at our expense and i would put that fat twat up against a wall and blow him away with a blunderbus!
does anyone know the number of scots that are in the Government because there does seem to be an awful lof of them. No wonder England is going down tha pan
Repatiraite them and send these people across the Irish Sea to the Falklands where they belong!! Interloper swine.
What business do these so called Scots have here ?
In my day we would have simply donned our Blackshirts and joined Oswald Mosley in rounding them up into camps.
That was good old fashioned no nonsense British decency at it’s finest and it’s clear there are many here who are itching to see it again by thunder!
Here is the speaking pig with his nasty little dirt-bag, Jill Pay, Serjeant-at-Arms, (aka, some undeserving old pinch-faced slag from the typing pool who is a sock-puppet of the pig).
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/12/03/article-1091612-02AF400E000005DC-285_468×517.jpg
I wonder how much the rat-faced old hag claims in expenses. She kept her mouth shut about the pig, and instead said it was her idea, when a mob from Scotland Yard swooped to ransack the place without a search warrant (re, arrest senior Tory MP Damian Green), even though it was clear the whole thing was a plan by the pig to put the ‘frighteners’ on MPs to keep a lid on MPs corruption and Nu Labour’s staggering mendacity.
What a nest of filth the British parliament is.
Sources report that the speaker will make a statement in the House at 1430hrs and will stand down from the chair. (19-5-09)
Or or or or or or order, what a total twat
Feck me! with skin like that who needs bullet proof armour.
It’s Murrrrdurrr
W W W W Wanker! He can’t speak proper;y but is still Speaker. What a wanker…..
He is indeed a total fat controller
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/248392/the_fat_controller/
Was gonna say first but thats a bit naff so I won’t.
?
Total cnut (hoon).
Punish the three major parties buy not voting for them.
I dont vote for thieves. UKIP or greens. I’d prefer greens but I have a Tory thief as my MP so maybe UKIP….
Greens are like watermelons green on the skin, bloody red on t’inner,
better t’ vote for a monkey first.
Yeah vote for me!
You got my vote – just keen shtum on the policies ; )
Slimey fucker is not going anywhere….. what a shambles
This gross red faced toad should be escorted out of the Houses of Parliament strung up by his bollocks and members of the public invited to piss on this loathsome creature.
Mr Toad of Westminster Hall. Poop poop!
We need a general election, newly elected government with a new mandate and a new speaker.
Absolutely right but sadly we are going to have to wait until the last possible moment to get rid of this odious bunch.
On top of that Snot-gobbler Broon is a coward, a liar and totally unsuited to any position of responsibility.
Cameron has asked the public to sign petitions demanding a general election. Did he not know that there already is one on the number10 website that is being largely ignored?
We need the Queen to step up and do one simple little thing for her “subjects*”
DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT AND DEMAND AN ELECTION!!! it would not cause ANY constitutional crisis as it would have the overwhelming backing of the people and the media. She would be hero worshipped for it!
*we are not citizens as this is not a republic, if you have no desire to be a subject, then you had better declare yourself a sovereign and follow the lawful steps required in that declaration.
The lefties would use that as a pretext to cause a civil war to get their Stalin dictatorship forever dream realised shame their all skiny pencil necks and wouldn’t get very far against the rest of the nation in all out war.
Civil war with the Lefties? Oh the joy, the sheer bliss and joy that thought brings to me. Can I hit them with sticks?
Thank you for pointing this out – I am proud to be a Britsh Subject.
Me too, I’m quite well armed:
2 Kukri knives
1 Samurai sward
1 service revolver
Several pitchforks
1 mattock
1 pickaxe
1 air rifle
Civil war with the lefties. OH NO!!!
A bunch of business people, military types and general organisers and wealth creators against….
Pacifists
Communistic feminists
People who still think Lenin was a good man but the system was to blame
Crusties
Actors
BBC editoral staff
Public sector bosses
Labour List
Personally, I’d fight them with a walking cane that is also a rapier. Or perhaps we could poison the Guardian?
I think DC was quietly drawing peoples attention to the one on No10 site.
About 60,000 last time I looked, should be about 20 million really
House is well packed…..
Now lynch the bastard
He’s fucking embarrassing himself!
Play him off, keyboard cat.
Dragging democracy through the gutter.
Hang them all!
“A period of reflection…”
Arf !!!
Time for someone to pick up the Mace and hand it to him.The House has lost its authority.
Twat him with it
I thought mace was a spray you use on muggers, do you mean he will chemical spray himself to death – I would pay money to see that.
One can see what remaining authority he has just ebbing away.
ordure ordure ordure
Martin is doing a bang up job of weaseling out of a debate / point of order etc., follow the Commons rules his mantra all of a sudden.
Did you see this red faced trougher stumbling and stuttering to read his statement – is this porker illiterate?
yes
That odious lickspittle Stuart Bell creeping up the Speaker’s backside.
Agree totally. Bellend puckered up for some major suckage. Shocking.
Trying to defend the indefensable!!
Who elected this creep?
It would be good to see whether more than a few of his constituents share his views.
What an odious tosser!!
Who elected him? Glaswegian Marxists, so what do you expect?
The smoggies elected him – a geordie FFS!. He is known up there as The Invisible Man because he’s hardly ever in Middlesbrough (although for that he can be forgiven).
Could be worse, he could have been a monkey hanger, or *shudder* a mackem
Our’straight sort of guy’got him appointed perhaps they supplied the right sort of shredders from Glasgow
That fucking twat Bell looks like one of the Seven Deadly Sins. In fact he looks like them all rolled into one.
‘Taxi for Mr Speaker’, oh crap he’ll charge it to expenses
I’d be happy to pay for the taxi if he would go!
48 Hours to sort expenses out ???
I could sort the expenses out in 30 seconds…….
Full disclosure of All receipts.
Scanned in expenses claims and published online in realtime once they are approved.
I would scrap the seconds home allowance and make the buggers stay in a hotel, where up on which all recepits can be electronically forwarded to the expenses office in westminster.
Thats it.
Job done.
So basically Like I have to do and my business colleagues in fact as every one has to do in the private sector.
Perfect!
Can we hang them first though?
That would be an excellent idea. If we hang them, then their successors in Parliament would think twice about doing the same thing again.
48 hours to sort … erm … save….erm, have we heard that before somewhere?
Well we do have Crash Gordon in charge…
what a pathetic excuse of a creature this speaker is.
of course brown is not going to want him to go because that would trigger a by-election which they would lose. so they would prefer to sink this country and the reputation of parliament even further into the stinking mire.
the worst government in history.
With the amount of postal votes printed out, how can New Labour ever lose an election?
Most labour supporters cant read or write
As they cannot read or write to be safe we would have to cut off their thumbs.
With the massed pipes and drums of the postal vote fraud regiment at their disposal in a single constituency for polling day they can’t ever lose a by-election.
But a general election is a different matter. Spread across the whole country their feeble host will barely manage to swindle more than a few hundred votes per constituency.
Don’t worry. They’ll get monstered.
And that is the fault of Mrs. Thatch who cruelly deprived schoolkids of milk which robbed them of the chance to read and write. Luckily the great government of Gordon Brown will deal with this problem and restore society which does exist. I thank you!
Dominated by corrupt, thick, tribal, obtuse, hovel-dwelling, Glaswegian trade unionists and shop stewards. Liebour is a political party? More of a McCancer.
He just does not get it does he?
Why doesn’t one of the MPs spell it out for him?
“FUCK OFF GORBALS”
What are you trying to say?
We are trying to say FUCK OFF GORBALS!
One can see what remaining authority he has just ebbing away. He just hasn’t got a clue.
They dragged him to the chair.
The’re gonna have to drag him out.
Pathetic! Go man go.
He’s toast! LOL. It’s hard to watch, he should just walk out and resign.
How did that shameless lying scheming thick bastard get to hold the highest office in the land.
1. Jock
2. Up arse of Bliar/Brown
3. Labour fiddle – should have gone to an opposition member by tradition
4. Hoon
5. Coffer filler
6. Coffin dodger.
AP. The Speakers transcript in partl..
“Honourable members. I have superglued my arse to this chair. I’m not going anywhere. Not today. Not tomorrow, not ever.
So leave me be.
I’m Super Speaker.
Tighter than a ducks arse. Mumblier than a Gordon Brown apology. More tribal than a Bosnian Eurovision vote.
When will I go? I’ll go when its my turn to go. And that’s going to be when its my turn to get the next round. Like never!
And just to make sure the honourable members understand my reasons I will tell them why I’m staying.
‘Shutup! That’s why!’”
I wonder how far the nearest 220/240 power socket is to the speakers chair?
You would probably need the full output of a nuclear power station to fry this fat bastard.
I think we have found exactly the right person to feature in the next Austin Powers.
Hehe muh mwa mwa mwaaaaaa
Gorbals Mick has no talent but plenty of front…he thinks that he can get away with this.
He’s just thrown petrol on the fire.
He on behalf of his government has just proved that his pension, salary, grace and favour apartments are more important than the reputation of Parliament and the Country.
Every month he stays on will be another decade out of power for Labour. So rejoice people, we are seeing the death of the Labour Party.
“I predict a riot”. It’s going to be a long hot summer.
RIP Labour Party 1900 – 2009
Most of the HOC inhabitants are attached, limpet like, to the status quo.
If there was any real feeling for change in parliament, there would be 646 signatures on the order, not just 16.
The speaker may be a handy target but all of them want to hang on to their “perks” for as long as possible.
Putting a boot on the electorate’s neck would show less contempt.
He’s like Jonah McBroon, a tribal Scotchland Labour Hoon with an insatiable sense of entitlement. They hate the English but were attracted to Westminster as the biggest trough they could get their snouts in…
The Penguin.
Do you really think this will sink the Labour party lower than the Conservatives in 1997? Not being sarcastic just shocked if people really think Labour is for the dustbin of political history.
If so great! Another lot we’ve saw off Tories 300 years and counting.
See Blears is sat on her own on the front bench.
…and Jackboots Spliff!
You can see who isn’t flavour of the month in that front bench
Come on, she needs all that space for her ego.
Demented little dwarf!!!
It’s not just the vapours from her hairspray that make her unpleasant to be around.
A laughable and cheesy song for a laughable Speaker!
To the tune of ‘Hey Mickey’. . .
Oh Mickey
It’s your time,
It’s your time,
To say goodbye,
Hey Mickey!
Hey, hey, Hey Mickey!
Oh Mickey
It’s your time,
It’s your time,
To say goodbye,
Hey Mickey!
Hey, hey, Hey Mickey!
You’ve been Speaker for nine years
And that’s nine years too long
Had your nose stuck in the trough,
And been partisan and wrong,
But can’t you do what’s right,
And quit the Speaker’s throne, Mickey?
‘Cause when you said that you’d reform,
You really meant you won’t
Now Carswell’s little bill’s
Gonna get you by the throat,
And you’ll be forced to leave your grace-and-favour home, Mickey!
CHORUS
Oh Mickey, what a pity
You don’t understand
That Parliament’s corrupt
And you haven’t made a stand,
Oh Mickey, you’ve been shitty,
Can’t you understand,
It’s time to go, Mickey,
Oh won’t you go Mickey, go Mickey
Just quit the job, Mickey!
Hey Mickey!
Now you took the Speaker’s job,
You should’ve said ‘no’,
Everytime you speak you let,
Your uselesness show,
The public’s lost its faith,
It’s time for you to go, Mickey!
C’mon and quit your job, at the soonest point you can
Anyway you wanna do it,
Just do it like a man
But please Mick, just get out while you can, Mickey!
CHORUS
Oh Mickey, what a pity
You don’t understand
That Parliament’s corrupt
And you haven’t made a stand,
Oh Mickey, you’ve been shitty,
Can’t you understand,
It’s time to go, Mickey,
Oh won’t you go Mickey, go Mickey
Just quit the job, Mickey!
Oh Mickey
It’s your time,
It’s your time,
To say goodbye,
Hey Mickey!
Hey, hey, Hey Mickey!
Oh Mickey
It’s your time,
It’s your time,
To say goodbye,
Hey Mickey!
Hey, hey, Hey Mickey!

The Laughing-at-the-Speaker Song
I know a fat old Speaker
He’s always on the take
His wife and he are at the trough
They like their share of cake
He’s too thick for a Speaker
With nowt between his ears
And everyone says he’s the worst
For nigh four hundred years!
(Hah hah hah hah hah hah …*gales of mocking laughter*)
He’s laughed at by the media
He’s laughed at by the mob
The Sunday papers all declare
He’s got to quit his job
He says it is a class thing
That makes them jeer and bawl
But that can’t be the reason, Mick -
You have no class at all!
(Hah hah hah hah hah hah …*hysterical laughter*)
He castigates Kate Hoey
And David Winnick too
He tries to keep the details from
The likes of me and you
He’s meant to be the guardian
Of every last MP
But when they came for Damian Green
He said “That’s fine by me!”
(Hah … errr … hmmm
OK, Mick, joke’s a joke: pack yer bags)
15 Points
Labout kept Martin in power.
You are always the back end of the pantomime horse.
Parp!
Bob Spink has truly lost it. “Most people do not want the Speaker to be made a scapegoat”. No, they don’t but when he is part of the problem and it is clear that he does not grasp the gravity of the situation and carries on regardless, it is time for him to go.
Yeah but in the totality, who the f**k is Bob Spink?
Was conservative, went UKIP, now independent, but now toadies to Labour. A huge turd.
He’s a party flipper rather than property.
Present tense of ’spunk’. As in ‘we are spinking all your money against the wall’.
That’s what one gets for having Independent members being elected to the House -utterly ineffective and totally out of touch. Having lived under the “rule” of the States of Jersey” for 16 years where the entire house is “independent” what you end up with is a shambles of government.
He wouldn’t be a scapegoat though would he? He is responsible for some spectacular expense claims of his own plus he’s done his level best to cover the whole thing up. Him. personally. he’s pulled out all the stops to try and whitewash the whole show.
And I don’t doubt for a moment that if the government had remained in control of all the expenses data then the only stuff getting leaked from the ‘independent enquiry’ would be anti-Tory stuff about moats and swimming pools.
tennis court
swimming pool
swimming pool
chandelier
helipad
moles
gents
haw haw
chopping block
pole axe
house keeper
I say Master Baiter, why are you talking about John Prescott?
The problem is, keeping the Speaker in place and have him looking at how to fix expenses is rather like asking an alcoholic to look after the brewery. If he genuinely wanted to fix the expenses fiasco he would first realise that he is the biggest stumbling block as most of the fiddles that have been going on are as a direct result of him being Speaker.
The answer is in the question.
This would NOT have Happened if Cameron had had the balls to demand Martin’s resignation.
Unbelievable – I see Brown and I think Cameron left quickly.
Cameron can’t liebour will go int tribal mode and surround the speaker as he’s one of them
Cameron was away from London launching the Tory Euro manifesto.
56 Lololo’s right
If Labour is seen to go tribal, the (supposed) impartiality of the Speakership is damaged beyond repair and that is dangerous for democracy.
But everybody know this guy isn’t impartial. If he was impartial then he’d be just another expense-grabbing MP. The problem with our democracy is that he is supposed to be impartial but he was rail-roaded in there by Labour MPs precisely because he is so partisan.
The threat is if Cameron goes in all guns blazing the Labour MPs will circle the wagons around Squeaker Martin to ensure he stays. It would be painted as the Toffs against the Troughs. They all know the Squeaker is compromised but too few of them will get animated about it.
Actually, that might not be a bad idea afterall. Keep Martin their with the full weight of Labour behind him and his putrid stench will permeate any election campaign. The media like to think the public have a short attention but we will hold a grudge with the best of them.
Mr Speaker – you are a fool
Some twat has just hauled himself onto his hind legs to support the idiot, pompously chuffing:
“There has never been in the history of this House, such an attack on the Speaker”
Perhaps that’s because there has never been, in the history of this House, such a venal, partisan, incompetent, fuckwit as a Speaker.
get Liz down from the palace … she can tell him to ’sling ones hook’
You morris dancers STILL dont get it, do you??
The palace are the BIGGEST troughers of all!
THEY are the LAST folks who wish to overturn the status quo!!
W..nker!
You don’t have a clue about our Constitution; I suppose it’s not too surprising as you are a foreigner.
Louder please.
Taxi anyone?
He’s had enough taxis already. Let him get the bus.
Make the fat porkie bastard walk for a fucking change and not to put his shoes on expenses.
There was a moment there, just a moment, when something was happening.
It will come.
This is a joke , we are going to have to prise him and Brown out of Govt with a crowbar.
Total Disaster, Martin had no idea wtf he was doing.
Right Guys, lets get on with it, GEneral Election now. Spread the word.
We need to go on that march on Westminster on Saturday.
Cameron’s announced a petition to dissolve Parliament and an election to be called immediately.
I don’t want to be lumbered with another Speaker elected by this mafia, we want a clean (if possible) parliament to start from scratch with new rules, new untainted people.
Sign that petition.
Will do, where the fuck is it?
Sign it here:
http://www.conservatives.com/Campaigns/Sign_for_Change/Petition_Item.aspx
Where do we sign ? I have 80 people with pens ready to go. If they can’t use their pens, knives are ready.
where can i fecking sign a petition as an ex-pat mail voter in germany?
all the fecking internet petition applets do not support addresses abroad – do these morons think it’s just labour voters abroad?
btw. and i fucking told you so, that the fecking future lord mick of gorbals wouldn’t go – someone will have to put a fecking cap in his ass before that happens….
Fuck the petition.
Cameron holds the title Right Honourable. He can if he so wishes request an audience with the Queen and put his case to her that the continued existence of this Government is detrimental to the future of Democracy in this country. Petition Cameron to demand the Queen steps in now and forces Brown to call an election immediately for the sake of the sanity of this country before we have the worst rioting seen for over 40 years.
Can you imagine what would happen if 100,000 people all angry and looking for a fight suddenly start getting kettled outside Westminster? The Poll Tax riots will seem like a picnic.
Downing st. election petition

As definging a moment in history as that is, I was sort of hoping for a clip of Parliamentary fisticuffs from other nations.
Like this one in Ukraine. A bit wet but for an appropriate reason.
Or Taiwan.
There comes a time when enough is enough. Martin is damaging Parliament and soiling democracy. He must be removed. It is good That Carswell Bloke has tabled a motion but it is not enough. Do our MPs care enough about Parliament? Seemingly not.
Swarm the chair! Drag him from it. Eject him from the building and have Parliament suspend him from the place for good. Who there would leap to his defence?
Unfuckingbelievable.
Democracy? Yer ‘avin’ a larf….
What a car crash that was. How stupid did he look parroting what the clerks were saying? Would have given them £50 to just whisper to him ‘ The early day motion, as regards I’m a fat grasping HOON…’
He’s going to cling to the wreck that is SS Labour and drag the whole wreck down with him.
They just don’t get it do they? General Election required
Odour, odour, odour, the smell from this foul Speaker gets worse and worse. And still the stupid fat sod cannot see how much he is hated and despised by not only the public but by those in that fetid place called Parliament. I think he intends to stay for as long as he can until he’s kicked out.
He wants his son to replace him in Glassga – the Scots can have him, just keep him away from here.
What a surprise. Martin going nowhere. I don’t have to, you can’t make me. A complete crust on the silk sheets of humanity.
Telling a Tory MP off for highlighting frauds of a couple of Labour MPs. Telling him he has to be careful what he says.
Oh no he doesn’t. This is Parliament. You can say what the fuck you like.
That bastard is using the rules that give him such cast-iron security of tenure to stay in office despite the obvious mood for at least a vote and then, for good measure, making up new rules as he goes along.
He doesn’t get it does he? Every day that he screws another wage out of us and another few quid on his pension is thousands of more votes lost to Labour for ever.
He wouldnt tell me to shut up and live to regret it, the fat fuckpig.
Excellent result . I want Gorbals to stay. That way he brings the House and it’s Members into even greater disrepute. Where was Camerhoon? Not a squeak. They are soooooooooo weak. Leaders, don’t make me laugh.
This way we can get shot of the lot of them.
Replacement with half the number, and those who have passion in their hearts – not a career.
Alna B’stard – even you couldn’t do such a grand job as this Foxtrot Uniform
Actually that’s a good point. The longer he remains the longer we will be reminded of the foul MPs that stitched us up. Yes, I think I’m beginning to see that it would be better if he stayed.
Cameron was in Rossendale (wherever that is) not in London.
He’s gone down to do a deal with the Devil at the crossroads?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossendale
Educate yourself ya thick fucker.
@425 ditto

The public has been Butt-fucked by the establishment yet again. They have absolutely no fucking clue, no fucking honour and no fucking fear of the consequences of their actions……and Bob Spink’s a complete wanker.
Yeah who the fuck does Bob Spink think he is.
I am the number one gob shite in Parliament incapable of rationale thought without returning to my class hatred back ground.
How dare he challenge me to being the biggest toady arse licking cocksucker in the H of C.
Has Old Holborn’s site been ’spooked’ ?
Oh was on Swiss Bob’s blog 10 mins ago. EK
Whipround of commenters, give the Speaker £ 100k, and ask him to be on his way.
Pitchforks at the ready guys, time to march on the “honourable ” rabble and remove the fucking lot by force.
Someone please organise a raiding party and lets destroy this rotten parliament now!
Absolutely fucking pointless.
What has the Speaker got on Cameron?
It is quite clear that Wisteria Dave hasn’t got the bottle to demand that Martin goes.
What did you expect from shiny dave? He’s all just flashing lights and noise. If he actually did something he might get out of sync with one of his focus groups and then where would he be?
Tactics. You think New Mafia would allow an ex-Etonian to remove their man? They’d go tribal and spin it as toffs out to get unionists and the working man.
Do have some sense.
In effect: “Pass me a bigger shovel, I’d like to dig a bigger hole”
Jeez – what a shambles.
What a complete and utter PLONKER. Never in the field of MP conflict has so much shite been talked about from one so few of brain cells.
What a complete fucking Hoon Martin is. A bunch of platitudes and an excuse to hang on till Autumn. I thought at one point the MPs might actually go drag him out of the chair and kick him out of the chamber.
But no such luck. :o(
STUART BELL-end !
He’s at the centre of all of this.
(1) He sat on the committee for the system
(2) He has continually denied the freedom of information
(3) He supports the speakers “phuck the pesants” attitude
HE HAS SPENT LOADS ON HIS EXPENSES – Daily Telegraph Please Note
All my expenses and allowances were made within the rules and approved by a terrified minimum wage prole in the fees office.
If there are any errors then it is
a, within the rules and thus allowable,
b, an error of judgement on the part of some flunkey, his fault not mine
c, an sloppy accounting error
d, a tory conspiracy because I am working class,
e, because I cannot do sums,
f, I do not understand the meaning of the definition given in the green book that works on the premise that I am an honourable member who should be trusted to confirm that all my claims have been wholly, properly and necessarily incurred in connection with my aprilamentary duties and I acknowledge this fact by signing the form
g, I am an incompetant twat
h, I did not think I would get caught
i, I am a hypocrite
e, I never read the fine print,
Did you see Brown – he was there and then disappeared when the heat was turned up
get the Hoon out! watch the furore when we see the size of his pension
David Davis asked how the motion could be made into a substantive motion Then the Clerk advised Martin that an EDM can only be made into a substantive motion by the government. i.e., Gordon Brown.
Did I understand that correctly?
yup !
Douglas Carswell is one weird looking individual.
He could do with a lot of BotOx, I know a cheap Slovakian, she’ll write whatever receipt you want.
THE government has absolutely nothing to do with the Speakership issue.
Our mute MPs are dumb. ( By MY orders).
Have a nice day,.
Point of Order.
Douglas Carswell can still embarrass the speaker with his Early Day Motion with a, seemingly, little known trick during House Business on Thursday.
Having advised the Speaker’s Office that he will be reading his EDM to the Leader of the House during House Business, Carswell does just that. The Leader of the House will then have to reply; this is usually a text provided by the office or ministry named in the EDM.
Although there is room to say that the Speaker will be ‘writing to the Hon Member’ in response, would not that be another nail in the Speaker’s coffin?
Yes.
First Brown says it’s up the Commons, so his government won’t intervene.
Then Martin says the Commons can’t do anything without Brown’s government intervening and putting down a substantive motion.
Clever!
I read somewhere that it was upgraded to substantive yesterday, which would explain the comment from the deputy to Bacon. Anyone able to shed light on this?
HISTORIC 10 MINUTES,THE LIKE OF WHICH NOT SEEN FOR OVER 319 YEARS.
The Dissolution of Parliament will happen the end of this week
And then you woke up and found the fuckers still there.
A week is one fuck of a long time in politics – remember last week.
Brown started the week in a car showroom (can’t drive) and he will finish it on Friday getting driven out of Downing St.
If only a discerning MP had grabbed the mace and swung it a la Tarzan we could have at least ended this farce in the correct manner.
The house shouldn’t sit any longer until a date for dissolution is agreed
Who was it who tried to pinch the mace and take it with him in protest?
Heseltine circa 1977.
No, John Beckett, 1930
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Beckett_(politician)
When is the march on parliament?
Dunno but im in.
What a waste of time THAT was! He’s definitely not a subscriber to the “How to win friends and influence people” course. To not allow the debate will be his death warrant, or at least it should be.
Someone push him in the Thames and be done with it. He has not a shred of understanding what he’s done to the reputation of the house, and now he wants to bury it in another committee.
Well, we’ve news for him, this is too big an issue to be buried, and he’s too stupid to look beyond his own narrow self preservation agenda…
PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY – MARCH ON PARLIAMENT ON WEDNESDAY MIDDAY
Is it just you or is anyone else going?
I’d be there, but Wednesday is tricky for me this week.
I’d consider it but its a fucking long walk and a swim from here. Can you postpone till a week thursday?
Cameroon has called for a GA.
I can’t wait for the doorstepping.
There’s going to be a rush on baseball bats.
Can I recommend the aluminium ones – virtually indestructible.
MP or baseball bat?
Clint Eastwood mode=[on] “Yup, theres nothin like a nice piece of Hickory.” [off]
Why would he call for an obscure former district of Southern Ghana?
Utterly disgraceful.
How can this guy act as cool as a cucumber? I have to say the media are to blame here as well. They hyped the thing up, and then it became an anti-climax.
Martin has just made himself look even more incapable to do the job. With great power, there comes great responsibility, and he has just shown he cannot handle great power…
http://www.plenty2say.com
Gotch yer Guido.
Mucky Mick held the line ( with a LOT of help from me and my mates in the whips office) . We had the oxygen on standby in case he threw a wobbler, what with Celtic screwing up yesterday and the Tory toe rags and the Lib Dums kicking his ass today.
Tom Watson almost threw up his 2 dinners today….that would have sent Mucky Mick into a tailspin.
Britain never had it so good as Mucky Mick
He’s got to go: The Speaker is a fool and only fools are supporting him now.
that’s it !!!??? A house full of OUR elected representatives can’t rid us of the useless bastard? What’s the point of keeping them in place. Fuck politics, lets riot.
Vote UKIP, B nP, Greens, but don’t vote for any of the scum currently parking their fat arses in Parliamnt.
Vote for anyone else but the Nazis, a vote for them would be a media victory for Broon as it would remove his electoral wipeout from the newspapers and place them on the front page instead
I’ve had it with this house of sleazeballs. Won’t be voting for a major party again. Well done Mucky Mick, another tiny nail in the coffin of democracy.
Now they know how we feel, we can’t get rid of them either!
I’m enjoying this!
You started it you cow.
Oi Arthur you are as K unt spelt with a C
NuLiebour mantra and brainwashing – anything bad started with MT. Even with her Alzheimers – she would be twice the PM of Broon
The Court of Public Opinion is speaking.
Go you old trougher. No peerage, no pay off, Mind the door and taxi for Mick.
Hoon
kevin barron = fail.
It sounds like someone ought to start a Number 10.gov.uk e-petition. If Gordon really stands by his comments this morning (“The decision about who is Speaker is a matter for the House of Commons. It could never be a matter for the Government.”) he should do the decent thing for a change and introduce a suitable substantive motion.
action required…..
Who wrote Martin’s speech? It sounded like it had just been thrust into his hands when he was struggling to read it.
Perhaps one his fellow Scottish MPs helped him with it.
I did
He’s a fucking apology for a Speaker, isn’t he?
My three kids could have outlined a better statement than that and delivered it 20 times better. And the oldest of them is 7.
He appears to have trouble reading.
He’s from Glasgow.
He can’t read Broon writing!!
It was probably a Mandelbum special – written for him in a hurry this morning.
Whilst banging one out on the bog
Thhinnnnnnnnngsssss can only get bettttteeeerr get better yeah yeah
er no
Greedy, arrogant Stalinist, money-grabber Mick Martin is going to bluff and brazen his way through this, and with the covert support of Gordon Brown, will still be speaker this time next year.
And there’s nothing that that lazy, useless, greedy bunch of wankers in Parliament can do about it.
We are stuck with Martin, Brown, Balls, Blears and the rest of the scummy crew until the next election.
I don’t think this government will be able to stay in power ’till next year. The country’s at breaking point and the idiots think they’ve got everything under control.
If there isn’t some kind of change soon, then I fear there will be civil unrest.
Cameron should have all his troughing MPs deselected and new blood allowed to stand. I think this would go down well with the public.
Civil unrest? What, people not putting their trolleys back at Waitrose? There’s going to be fuck all unrest and they know it.
I will say again; this is typical Scottish labour politics.
Martin knows where the bodies are buried.
He has them by the balls, he has threatened them with political Armageddon if they don’t support him.
Cameron should tell sod off with your meeting, I’m off to see Liz.
If Mick Martin goes then the focus shifts back to all those troughing, thieving MPs and cabinet ministers. They intend to keep him in place as a distraction from their own thieving and as a bulwark against attacks on them.
There’s only about 50 MPs out of 650 who really want him gone even though most of them claim they do.
I’ve never seen such an abysmal parliamentary performance. He was obviously scared witless and hadn’t a clue what to do or say. Surely he’s dead meat after this – though like Charles I he’ll walk and talk a while longer after his head is finally removed from his shoulders.
The really significant moment was when he had to get into a huddle with the clerks before saying that a substantive motion can only be tabled on the government’s initiative. So much for Brown’s weasel words that it was a decision for the House, and not for the government.
Twisted lying runts, the lot of them.
Brown and the Scottish Labour mafia are protecting Martin as a way of protecting themselves.
deregulate the mortgage market!
Oh dear, Draper still lurking around?
the mortgage market deregulate you must
Speaker Martin bottles it
It’s getting worse.
Remember,remember, these dregs have the civil contingencies bill to fall back on. Now we know why they ordered all those tasers.
This is why we need the army on our side to remove this fat Kunt and his cronies.
Sir Richard Dannant is a gentleman of the highest order and could show these wankers a thing or two about honesty.
Come on British Army, help us with an insurrection to remove these fetid treasonous thieves!
Steady, Jones.
Uncle Arthur, Can I have the machine gun? Please !
Have you been demoted Jonesy?
Dont panic Mr Speaker, dont panic!
You tread a very perilous path here. The only circumstance I can imagine that would bring the armed forces to act against Parliament would be if the Queen were in direct conflict with Parliament. The armed forces swear allegiance to the Crown, not to the Queen’s Parliament.
Whilst G Brown has treated the services with arrogant contempt, of which I am sure they are all too aware, no officer would express their personal feelings on the issue. That is the most noble thing about those who are called to arms. They have the honour and discipline to obey Her Majesty’s government, however stupid, greedy, mendacious and dishonourable they might be.
However, bearing in mind the nature of the demands put upon our lads and lasses by this vile rabble of crooks and liars, and the disgraceful provision of resources (in my book a continuing treachery by Brown the odious thug), I don’t think that there is much they could do for or against the New Labour scum.
Should the Hoon squad call for Military Aid to the Civil Power, the Chief of Defence Staff might be able to spare a few hundred poorly equipped and very tired people. BTW – the present Boss is ACM Sir Jock Stirrup, a Royal Air Force officer. Gen Dannat is the Chief of General Staff.
Were I involved, I would ensure that they were led by a very stupid subaltern with out of date maps, a broken GPS and duff radios. I might suggest that he or she could best protect the Scottish gangsters by deploying to the Orkney Islands by rowing boat.
The Police, of course, would welcome the chance to beat up some old, young, slightly built females, infirm or confused civilians. But in an operation the size of your average modern European armed insurrection, it is inevitable that there might be a few cuts and bruises.
Martin’s not going.
He’s got the government behind him and he can tough it out with their backing.
McDoom’s not going to allow a motion of ‘no confidence’ to be tabled.
Absolutely. Martin is Brown’s biyach. You get to be Speaker and I get to answer Camerons questions any which way I like. Not at all mostly or with screeds of un related tractor statistics if I’m feeling adventurous.
and we can always finish off PMQs with the Beast of Bolsover being called to make vitriolic class-war remarks about the party opposite without even a shred of an attempt to make it sound like a question.
Anyone who has to read the words ‘profoundly sorry’ off a piece of paper with his head down is NOT even remotely sorry, let alone profoundly sorry.
Absolute disgrace!
Says it all really. An illiterate, inarticulate, lying, thieving gangster. If La Boothroyd set the upper boundary, Gorbals has set the lowest possible standards of conduct for a Speaker of the House and has continually failed to meet them!
In one’s darkest moments of nagging self doubt, one can be comforted by the thought that one is not a great fat, puce faced, mumbling idiot like that tart.
Which part of ‘piss off back to Gorbalistan, you dick’ is he unable to get to grips with.
It strikes me that Cameron and Clegg can now finish him off.He wishes to call a meeting with the party leaders.They should reply that they will only attend if there is a new speaker to chair it.
Cameron hasn’t got the bottle.
Paitence my friend good things do come to those that wait. Cameron must play a long game here and ensure absolutely the maximum amount of damage is inflicted on Zanulabour and then and only then will he finally stick the dagger through the rotten heart of this government.
We have to think of the future here and we have to this time make sure the evil dragon is totally dead.
It will happen but at the appropriate moment and when Martin and the government least expect it.
I have a distinct feeling that you might be wrong there!
Yet another abysmal display!
Brown has popped Cameron and Clegg in to the holding pen.
In the latter half of the 20th century, the layout and design of most slaughterhouses has been significantly influenced by the work of Dr. Temple Grandin. It was her fascination with patterns and flow that first led her to redesign the layout of cattle holding pens.
Grandin’s primary objective was to reduce the stress and suffering of animals being led to slaughter. In particular she applied an intuitive understanding of animal psychology to design pens and corrals which funnel a herd of animals arriving at a slaughterhouse into a single file ready for slaughter. Her corrals employ long sweeping curves so that each animal is prevented from seeing what lies ahead and just concentrates on the hind quarters of the animal in front of it. This design also attempts to override the animal’s instinct to reverse direction.
Grandin now claims to have designed over 54% of the slaughterhouses in the United States as well as many other slaughterhouses around the world.
I don’t believe I ever said thank-you.
So what?
Are you trying to draw a parallel between Temple Grandin and Gordon Brown perchance?
What could you be implying?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
You couln’t make this farce up if you tried.
Bet that took some time and effort.
GORBALS IS BETTER THAN MY HORSE YOU KNOW…
You couln’t invent GORBALS if you tried…
PURE DISGRACE AND PURE HORROR…
The reputation of the British Government, Parliament and Constitution have been DESTROYED…
That’s Labour for you.
No respect for democracy.
Carswell on sky news ’speaker given bad information…………. will be order paper…….. has written confirmation from table office’
Martin will have to go back on refusal in public!!!
please let it be so
Dear Speaker Martin
Here’s the news from outside of Planet Parliment.
We are totally in favour of you continuing until the next General Election subject to said election being called immediately. Other than this happening you & Parliment are in a lose/lose situation whether there is no debate or a no-confidence debate that is defeated. The public generally has no idea of the minutiae of procedure or protocol there but the shitstorm of expenses is ultimately your can to carry and to now attempt to stay in your position of Speaker of the House will further damage the credibility of this honoured position and the House in general. So I’m afraid that it’s: Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry? or in simple language, Fuck off/retire/disappear.
Please don’t think the Public will make a scapegoat of you and let the criminals who troughed on your watch off. We want them interviewed by Knacker ASAP, into court and behind bars. So please see this as a rightious honourable move to begin to restore a modicum of respect and confidence in the Mother of Parliament rather than trying to trough your way to a golden handshake.
PS Please close the door behind you and as a final gesture stand down as MP so a by election can take place.
PPS Don’t be surprised if Knacker wants to spend a considerable time interviewing you which may justify the PS above as you will not have much time for constituancy matters.
May we, the General Public wish you a fond farewell and thank you for your part in the annihilation of New Liars (willing accomplice)
We want the Police to “interview” Gorbals immediately…
There is mounting evidence he conspired for years (and even “write” the new Green Book of rules) to steal from the British People…
And aid and abet hundreds of MPs who were doing the same thing…
There is evidence in the DT AND other papers every day…
If that is not prima facie evidence of THEFT FRAUD AND PERVERSION OF THE COURSE OF JUTSICE YOU MIGHT AS WELL TEAR UP BRITISH CRIMINAL LAW AND RELEASE ALL THOSE CONVICTED OF THEFT ETC
Disgusting, revolting and obscene
In the name of God, GO before we come and get you…
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
He’s at the heart of a conspiracy to defraud the public on a massive scale. That in itself demands police intervention
Well, who told the peeps in the Fees Office that they should pay up for claims against non-existent mortgages. They must have been told by somebody in ‘authority’ to do such a completely daft thing.
Whoever it was, I bet there is no written evidence and I bet they would deny making such instructions.
Let’s try again without the html error.
Speaker Martin bottles it
How long can this continue?
Rearrange the following two words…
‘Election’ and ‘General’…
& off Martin Fuck retire
Martin retire? Fuck off !
don’t think that’s quite how you intended it but your point is agreed.
Genelal erection?
Do I will a £10 order off Television X the people who make you forget Jacqui Smith?
Platitudes, platitudes and duck-billed platitudes. The Speaker is obviously a monotreme with little understanding of the human condition. A feature of monotremes is that they don’t have a gross communication (corpus callosum) between the right and left brain hemisphere. His sole purpose appears to be hanging on for long enough to lay sufficient bad eggs to allow his son to inherit his seat. The man fails the test of general humanity never mind probity.
Yeah, damn his regulated aural pulse to establish a steady tempo in the performance of music.
Cameron is a DISGRACE as well…
We are way beyond constituional niceties…
This Parliament has just KILLED the British Constitution..
Take up arms my fellow citizens
What arms? The government outlawed and confiscated my guns as soon as they came to power.
I guess now we know why.
All those blustering MPs are just a load of bullshitters. They will allow Martin to bluff his way through this.
This Speaker Martin business is a great distraction from the much wider issue of MPs sleaze and thieving on a mass scale. A lot of crooks must be breathing a sigh of relief.
Well not quite, he is the leader of the MPs corruption brigade. His expenses exposed in DT and his editing of the Green Book (see Daily Mail), all point to the heart of the scandal – trougher McMartin, a Glaswegian tribal, liebour crook.
Lay a complaint with Westminster police, demand he be “interviewed”, hundreds already have.
This little episode was really about Cyclops saying to the British people, ‘I don’t give a toss what you think we are going to screw you English bastards to the bitter end.Nothing changes we are not listening to you – you miserable peasants’ Consistent is’nt he?
Brown must have told Martin that time would not be allowed to debate motion – otherwise it would be impossible to think he would stand and make that announcement
see it on YouTube: Speaker’s Statement
This is Brown’s handiwork. He gave Martin his support behind the scenes and told him he wouldn’t allow the motion to be put to the Commons. That’s why Martin glibly brazened his way through it this afternoon.
We either have a monarchy with the Queen at the top and a HOC doing day to day stuff or we have a Prime Minister Brown dictatorship,to me it’s looking like dictatorship and we are on our own.
Many thanks for posting that Swiss Bob. Travelling yet again so I can’t see what I can see at home and the links are great.
Firstly I have to say now having seen that announcement it truly is and was appalling. You would think that given the amount of money swilling around they would send the twat on a presenation course.
Secondly as a manager if I had to refer to one of my staff for such a basic question I would not be in that position very long. (I do though refer to them for their expertise in more detailed matters for which help I am most grateful)
I’ve just noticed that Mr McSpeaker doesn’t quite have the charm & oratory skills of Obama.
Right.
he has the charisma and speaking skills of a dead ferret
You talking about my front carpet?
Hell, he doesn’t even have the charm and oratory skills of Prescott
Hey
WHERE IS PREZZA ???
We will have to invent another PREZZA if he just fucks off down a rathole…
True working class Labour shit…
With his Mock Gothics him…My bollocks almost dropped off laughing…serious stuff this PREZZA…
(and to think he was Deputy Prime Minister, hardly surprising the country is bust now)
DISASTER OF MEGA PROPORTIONS. If the speaker offers himself for re-election at the General Election, by tradition, he won’t be opposed and probably will remain the speaker for the next Parliament…
Cameron has called for a General Election NOW. Won’t resolve the issue, simply no one trusts MP’s. Needs a wholesale clearout nothing less. All very sad. Not at all bothered if the Speaker is made a scapegoat. Someone said Dead Speaker walking. . He read his speech like a nervous schoolboy at a junior sports day, stumbled over the words. What on earth was John Stoneborough doing all those years? Martin Didn’t look up once. Martin is way out of his depth. How on earth did we get to this position? Where was Gordon Brown? The motion of No Confidence in the Speaker IS still on the order paper for tomorrow under Section ‘C’ …who knows…but it needs one of the main parties to co-operate. It is not an early day motion which rarely gets debated. And finally if the fake Max is reading this, the knee implant is reacting to the wet weather and I’m swallowing a few Diclofenac with a shot of Laphroaig…we live in strange times might as well join the club!
Fuck tradition. Someone will stand and he will lose.
yes, he’s pretty anti tradition when it suits him, after all. Sod tradition, get somone to stand on anti sleaze ticket.
The SNP won’t respect such a tradition. They’ll be up for the fight and will wipe the floor with him or his wee boy.
For those who have swallowed the Telegraph’s story on my claims, I have responded on my blog.
Who gives a flying shit fuck face? Trough off.
Steady, Jones
Please just resign thief
Please not that the response is not logical.
The additional costs allowance claimed from 2005 on have nearly doubled, coinciding with the change from London to the consituency of the ‘main home’. A very disingenous nondenial denial.
John Redwood should be more felicitous with the truth, trun over a new leaf or page and stop being so precious.
John Redwood is either lying or is an alien.
A bit 50:50 there then.
But have you really discounted the option that he may be both?

Titbits please.
Sorry sir Reg but around our way tidbits.
Your maj, when you meet with Broon tomorrow, PLEASE have a word!
Martin Salter MP on Sky News backs Speaker Martin.
who’d'a thunk it!
A noted toadie and lick-spittle of the soon-to-be former Speaker of the House of Commons Mick “I’ve never met a privilege I didn’t take” Martin, Sir Stuart “Ding-Dong” Bell is a symbol of all that is wrong with Zanu-Labour and their snouts in the trough policies. Free Britain! Restore Democracy!
The Stuart Bell who “toadied” is the MP who not only has employed his wife for 25 years, but also employed his 19 year-old son as his “researcher” before the unfortunate youth was sent to prison for stealing cheques off other MPs in the Commons with a security pass obtained by his father.
Like father like son…
You’re kidding? His kid was nicking other MP’s cheques? Daddy not paying him enough for his ‘research’ then?
You could see why he’d be right up Martin’s arse then. Did Martin have his office raided for letting a crook on the premises. To see if the crook had compromised anything else?
The very same Stuart Bell who is the Second Church Estates Commissioner in the Church of England and a plonker.
I’m currently loading the 12 bore…
This unstoppable greed, dishonesty and yobbery is clearly genetic. Why do third rate wank*rs like this oaf, Stuey Bell, get knighted, he must feel he is very very important, when in fact he is a buffoon and an arse with no integrity, as is his son. Not a good man to support you. I saw him on the telly over the weekend, he looks like a small time spive with that moustache.
Can I interest you in a nice pair of nylons?
Probably the finest Parliamentary performance by a Speaker for 400 years.
He should keep the place for life and then we should make the Speakership an hereditary post for his descendants.
After a suitable tenure of the safe seat of Glasgow NE. Obviously.
May I draw your attention to a misprint.
Rt Hoon Sir Stewpot Bellch MP
We are really in pure ZANU territory now…
Can’t believe it…….
that’s because you are a Tory dinosaur with one foot in the grave.
I don’t believe it.
When I heard all the police sirens at the end I thought the Met had come to arrest the whole lot of them.
Stupid boy/girl.
This man is a national disgrace. He is incompetent, biased towards Labour and has had his own nose well into the expenses trough.I’m truly fed up listening to all the niceties about ‘convention. He’s damaged goods. Ciao Mr Martin.
PS It’s time for the Telegraph to publish his expenses.
hasn’t he made sure they are “unavailable”?
Latest news on proposed Parliamentary reform here: http://www.thecrunchtimes.co.uk/html/090518wetherspoons_parliament.html
It’s a disgrace you can have a PM with no mandate ducking and weaving to avoid an election and the Speaker of the house ducking and weaving to avoid even a debate on his performance.
We will have to write a new constituion now
No other answer
Britain is the laughing stock of Europe and the world now..
Not only have Nu Labour destroyed the finances of the country and any shred of decent government of Parliament, but they are shredding the Constitution now…
Blair shredded the Constitution.
A political appointment as Speaker – No executive held to account
Political advisers – The politicisation of the Civil Service
The ‘disbandment’ of hereditary Peers – Stuff the the ‘Other Place’ with his Toadies
There’s more. Lot’s more. But this was Blair’s doing. It was a planned strategy.
I’ve said for quite a few years. If Labour don’t think they’ll win a General Election, you won’t get one.
I think the time to see whether I was right is approaching fast.
OK chum…
Let’s just say it started in 1997 and is continuing…
If MP’s want to keep that sad git in parliament, then the public will get the chance to sack this useless good for nothing leader next year.
And get rid of Gordon and that prat of a speaker as well!
Leave him in the hole, and let him continue digging. In fact, pass down another shovel.
He’s so deep he needs to apply for an archaeological permit to keep going.
Anything which prolongs the long slow agonising death of the Labour Party is to be welcomed.Nevertheless if you see a Labour MP crossing the road – run over the bastard.
Having seen Mr Martin’s performance today (which was woeful)and having an interest in astrology I wondered what star sign he was and I wasn’t surprised.He is a water sign.They are not known for being really ballsy, real leadership types.I thought you’d be interested in the following.Mr Martin is a Cancerian.They tend to scuttle away when confronted,just like a crab.Water signs are more peace-making,artistic feminine types but some of them have a very very dark side.All the addictive type personalities will have lots of water in their charts.The lower types are not really good at emotional intelligence. Gordon Brown,Osama Bin Laden,George W Bush,Yvette Cooper Balls,Ed Balls,Prince Charles and his two wives etc etc.All water signs.I bet Damian McBride is a water sign too.They do love the dark arts.Funnily enough Dolly Draper is a Leo as is Mr Obama and Bill Clinton.That is why Dolly is so arrogant but he doesn’t have the intelligence and charisma of the other two.He is like the runt of the Leo pack.
Which would be fine, if astrology weren’t groundless nonsense.
Meanwhile, on Planet Zogg….
Here’s a sign for you: V
Is there no limit to Neo Labours disrespect for democracy & the House?
Historians will look back on this era with absolute incredulity.
Dissolve Parliament.
I already am Madam..
That useless hoon Iain Dale is trying to organise his sad readers to contact their MPs and request them to sign Early Day Motion to oblige Mucky Mick to stand down.
It will go nowhere ,of course, but if it does, and I am NOT saying it will, I could be available for the gig, except for the chauffered travel to Celtic games.
It is up to you to decide if a new Speaker Ian would be a nice change for my betterment!!!!!!!
Vote for a new Speaker, Ian
They’d have to be MPs that didnt milk the system themselves really.
Sorry, I’m just taking the piss aren’t I.
That rules out Mr and Mrs Balls and Prime Mentalist.
But I have not been caught like them.
yet ?
From today’s Weegie Herald, we have the followig unbelievable utterances from the Speaker’s spawn:
Try not to splutter over your keyboards…
———————–
The party said today it aims to put jobs and the economy at the heart of its campaign, and attacked both the Tories and the SNP.
Mr Martin told the launch at the Glasgow Science Centre : “We think we have a good message and our message, apart from the positive element of our campaign, is that this is an election where you do not make soft choices or use it as protest vote.
“This is an election about putting people in place who will work for a secure and better future for this country.”
—————-
He’s got a brass neck and then some.
To be fair, Mick Martin does his research. Only last month, he spent a week of his valuable time in Dubai (at our expense) conducting an in-depth study of an open democracy at work.
Actually I think his problem is just that he’s pissed all the time. He’s so mad wi’it he can hardly get his words out.
Agreed
Either pissed or drugged up cos of his heart condition..
Both ways this man is mad and dangerous…and still COVERING UP for NULABOUR
If this festering pile of shit stays on until the next election, tradition has it that he’ll not be opposed.
To hell with tradition…oppose the lump of dogmeat and throw him out.
I think we’ve had enough of his style of tradition, haven’t we?
Nothing to stop anyone (or any of you) from standing as an independent against the swine. Even in Mick’s constituency there are enough people who are sick of the man’s dishonesty and greed. You would probably win IF you were Scottish and blue collar.
well I’m neither, so that’s me out. Anyone?
A a normally calm Englishman, I really think it is time to give independence to Scotland
It you look at the people involved in this horror story there would seem to be no other way of getting this Mafia out of our lives..
Agreed!
There is nothing worse on this planet than the sight of liebour Glaswegian boors and bullies (of which there are hordes) on the take!!
Order Order
Will the honourable gentleman accept that I am indeed a total fucking Hoon
Yup, beware all imitations…this is the real hoon!
All the crooked MPs will be chortling to themselves now that you dumb voters have been distracted.
I think that the average voter regards the Speaker and the MPs in general as ‘Westminster’ – one and the same.
On more important matters, given his Jonah tendencies I thought it either very brave or very foolish of Wayne Rooney to be photographed with the PM at today’s launch of the 2018 World Cup bid. It is barely a week before the Champions League Final so watch those metatarsals at the weekend Wayne. Either way I am putting a bucket load on what now looks a certain Barca victory.
And that’s another thing.
country in a complete mess, parliament in disarray but Brown’s got plenty of time to get his photo taken to prove how popular he is.
Did anyone notice McMental’s pathetic “joke” about Obama – pathetic not just as in not funny, but also in his desperation to compare himself to someone who is (sadly) popular – at least with the media and guardian readers.
I’ve given up. That’s it. I’m off to North Korea for some real democracy. Anyone coming?
I’m helping set up a Court of (pre-moderated, left wing) Public Opinion there. Wimmin only.
Si its pretty clear from that ONLY the govt can call for this motion to be debated. Caneron and Clegg should be calling on Brown to allow the debate or admit he is propping up this crooked bastard speaker.
As usual with Brown tribal politics comes before good sense.
ELECTION NOW!
Someone on another forum remarked that Tony Blair has still not been elevated to the Lords and wondered aloud if this was because Tony envisages his Second Coming – in the event that the post of Lord of the Universe/President for Life of the United States of Europe somehow eluded him – riding in like the Cavalry to “save” us. We need to be prepared to see off any come-back by Bliar.
He’d never make it. Although we’re all pissed of with Snottie and his crew, we remember that a couple of years ago they were Tone and his crew.
Same chumps but led by the clown instead of the ring-master. Same dwarf on motorbike, too, as it happens.
The biggest prick in all this is that Stuart Bell who keeps raising his ugly head at any opportunity to voice his support for Martin.
He has a long very (B)brown tongue – no pun intended. It’s pipe and slippers for him now and he knows it..
the fuckers still don’t get it
Have you been promoted Jonesy?
interesting , my net publisher has started getting silent phone calls , must be hitting them somewhere .
watching you watching us , still gonna vote you and the stasi out
You lot are dim and perennially indignant,
that is all
and you’d defend Satan if he was in the Labour party
Baronness Uddin has two homes,
One in London and one in Maidstone.
Well done Baronness Uddin, a beacon of probity.
Definitely a fake MB, real MB won’t mention the U word….
Yes new girl there are still 25% of them around (and falling)
God knows just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. What a truly sad day for British democracy, when the lunatic is running the asylum.
It’s quite clear that the system needs to change when an incompetent and dangerous buffoon like martin can block a vote of no confidence in himself. How the hell is that representing MP’s interests?
“please allow me say to the men and women of the UK that we have let you down very badly indeed”
I think it is this sentence in his statement that irritates me more than any other -weasel words as nothing stopped any of them claiming their ludicrous and occasionally fraudulent expenses.
The toe curling fucking shame, shame to peel the fucking enamel from your teeth, a rotten parliament filled with scoundrels who have no shame or honour.
These newlabour bastards have brought shame on the people and the Tories are not much better either, the UK is a laughing stock around the world, we are a refuge for terrorists and the scum of the earth, we support terrorists and support some of the worlds most evil regimes.
Illegal wars and occupations, torture and murder and dont fucking tell me that these nulab scum bastards didnt approve rendition jollies, the UK now owes more money than it can ever pay back, the UK finances are now at the level of a homeless crack whore.
Manufacturing has been destroyed so completely that we import nearly everything of any value and the forced importation of millions of third world useless mouths who will always be a huge burden has put the native population in the shameful position of having to queue up for the meagre services now on offer.
Petty laws and petty beauracrats, unelected bossy and nosey plastic nazis strutting around ordering us about like we are fucking serfs in our own fucking country, I fucking despair at the depths to which this once proud nation has sunk to.
The nazi bastards treat us like naughty children, dont smoke, dont drink, dont break the speed limit, dont dont dont, ever more petty laws and petty regulations, dont do this and dont do that and now they have taken away our faith in our parliament, a faith built up over centuries has been smashed to pieces in only a decade, we now despise the very institution built to protect us…MAYBE THAT WAS THE WHOLE IDEA……destroy our parliament so we have to go to the EUSSR for protection, it makes sense now, everything these bastards have done they have done to sabotage the UKs institutions and sovreignty and now we kneel at the mercy of the federal superstate with no national parliament to represent us.
Ah ye Hoon ye! Mah fuckin heids nippen right enough after watchin’ the weedjie boy giein it some slap. Ah thought the Hoon was gunnae resign defo at first, like, but then ah sais to mahself, ah sais, “mebbe the Hoon’s gonnae get a fuckin strop on, like,” an fuckin guess what? Ah was right enough, likesay, the old soapdodgin Hoon gie em the finger. They sais he’s nivver been bevvied up in his puff, like, but he’s goat a coupon like Post Alec. He’s a Hoon’s Hoon this one. Mebbe he’s a mate o’ Begbie.
I think I am more annoyed with Cameron.
I can understand Martin clinging on for dear life.
I can not understand for dear life why Cameron did not have the guts to ask Martin to go.. Unless there are more fraudulent tory claims to be exposed.
I don’t know what 2+2 equals, no idea at all. unless its 4.
As any good physicist knows, 2+2=5 (for large enough values of 2) ;-)
Cameron is beaten on this. He can’t call for a vote of no confidence because the same 400 imbeciles who have kept this cabal of fuckwits in power this past 12 years will just close ranks and defend their chum against the toff.
It’s not in Labour’s interests to get rid of the Speaker. He’s a great Speaker if you’re a Labour Prime Minister. You couldn’t pick a more amenable chap if you were a Labour PM. Oh, actually, that’s why they picked him.
Cameron would love to have somebody who actually did the job properly but Labour are not about to hand him that gift.
Apart from that Martin is no more (or less) a crook than any number of Labour and Tory MPs have been proven to be this past two weeks.
Martin will go nowhere. Brown hasn’t the bottle to push him. Quite the opposite. Brown will be taking the tough decision to do exactly as he’s been doing for the past 12 years. Print several hundreds of billions more, borrow several hundred billion more and keep your Scottish mate in grace’n'favour apartments.
Because doing nothing different is the right thing to do.
3 ways to make Gordon Brown very happy at the local and Euro elections
1) Vote Labour
2) Vote UKIP, Green, nationalist or Libertas and split the opposition vote
3) Don’t vote, or spoil your vote – thus maintaining the status quo
If the vote concentrates on the Tories and LibDems we can make Labour third and (hopefully) bring forward Brown’s ousting and the GE.
what makes you think people will vote for the conventional opposition parties ?
option 2) would screw conventional opposition parties, this is a very attractive option to many
dam, double posting
That is exactly what I have argued on my blog. Brown will get an effective victory if anything removes his disastrous election results from the front page.
http://thebigotbasher.wordpress.com
Cameron and Clegg have got 48 hours to come up with an answer, or get out of town.
Yee Haw!
Can’t help thinking that the MPs want the Speaker’s head purely to present to the public, “look we have cleaned up our act now”. Yet all those who put in the dodgy claims will carry on.
When a lunatic is running the asylum AND a lunatic is running the country AND a lunatic is running the police force AND a lunatic is running the MOD, we should be very very afraid.
I am very very afraid. Muuuuuuummmmmyyyyyyyyyy.
she pulled it off.
Well, not quite.
Was he pissed? That has to be the only excuse for this pathetic mumbling couldn’t find the words in size 200 font wankers excuse for not doing the decent thing.
Time for a walk in the woods old boy.
Brown’s mantra of “it’s up to parliament, not the government, to decide on the fate of the speaker” is a typical newlabour spin. It was Brown who refused to allow parliamentary time to be given to a debate/vote.
Don’t believe what the BBC tell you about “convention” – it’s purely that Brown is physically stopping people from being able to debate/vote because Brown knows that once the speaker’s kicked out he’ll be next.
Cameron’s right; we need to dissolve parliament immediately before we end up with a whole year of riots taking place to oust an unelected PM and all his corrupt cronies.
If anyone organises a march to physically throw Gordon Brown out of number 10 and to storm Parliament to force an election, then count me in.
+1
Brown lying?
He’ll be technically right that it is up to Parliament. But Parliament can’t do anything until the government puts forward a motion apparently. And the government won’t put forward a motion because Brown and Martin are mates. And the government is effectively Brown. His spineless cabinet and back-benchers being useful for, and I’m searching to frame the right description here, FUCK ALL.
And even if they hated each other he still wouldn’t put forward a motion because no matter how much he might grow to hate Martin he still hates Cameron more and there is no way he will hand Cameron a victory like that.
Because as far as Brown, Martin and theLabour party are concerned the entire UK is run for the benefit of the Labour Party. Hence they will utterly destroy the economy leaving Cameron with the tough decisions and they’ll be there from day one onwards in opposition screeching about Tory cuts and Tory recession andhow they at least had a ‘boom’ followed by a bust whereas Cameron has so far only had a bust, and how the high unemployment is all cameron’s fault, and the record national debt is all Cameron’s fault…
All so that in 15 or 20 years when another generation of voters have forgotten the idiocy that got us to this point they can once again produce a shiny manifesto filled with glib lies and have their ‘go’ again. Just like they did last time. Fuck up the UK economy to the point where we were having blackouts every week, litter piling up in the streets, the dead unburied and then 18 years later, when it’s finally sorted out just march in there and fuck it all up yet again.
Imbeciles.
I agree entirely with your assessment in all but one point.
My fear is that the next Govt will be SO unpopular because of the need to correct the economy by slashing public sector and raising taxes that they will be kicked straight back out immediately.
Hope and pray I am wrong but a week is a long time in politics and 5 years in an entity.
Do you think Michael White knows how much of a prick he really is?
He is not that usefull
At the end of the day the Scotchland thieves have their own parliament now, as do the sheep shaggers and the bog trotters, they should all go home and let the English run England from Westminster.
The Penguin.
Yeah, let’s get fucked over by our own for a change.
Absolutely agree.These greedy Celts have ruined England.They might be second and third generations but they are still Celts.There are a disproportionate amount of them in the upper echelons of great English institutions.They run everything.Most of them make such a pigs-ear of it.Most of then can’t stand the English.From Sharon Shoesmith (yep that greedy socialworker with a Yorkshirre name,comes from Ulster),McNulty,McBride,Gus O’Donnell,Mc Broon,Darling,Tessa Jowell,Bliar,the McDonagh sisters,Ian McCartney,Gorbals Mick,Alexander,the Keens,Margaret Moran,the list is endless.Public service to them means helping themselves to everything.Then again you have the great Irish like Mr Murphy who built up his huge company through sheer hard work whose Funeral Mass was at the Oratory today.
Whatever the problem, whichever the issue, it’s always the fault of some minority or other, amirite?
Spot on ian Dales!!
Zoe McConnell. How could you forget her?
I don’t want to say this but I am afraid to say it is Catholic thing. No disrespect to any RC’s who read this but you lot think different to us Protestants. I am not sure how to articulate but you are. I think thats why the RC like the EU they like defaulting to a higher power.
Don’t forget the academics. The cesspits of PC/socialist/Islamist appologists/British hating that are the modern university. Politics & sociology & history departments that sit and judge in detached arrogance. Those who went from sixth form to university and stayed there. Those who because they move in an international community of institutions think that everybody lives in a multi-cultured community. And despite studying their subjects to unimaginable depths have no understanding of how the world works……….
Sorry I am a bit miffed………
Calm down and have a careful think. Are there any other blind prejudices that you might have shared with us?
Disagree – I’m a Catholic and I think they are all a bunch of cnuting hoons, who should resign immediately and let the people decide who we want to run our country.
Just remember, it was YOU MORRIS DANCERS who voted this tenth rate Glasgow mafia in, IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
WAN..ER!
Ignoring the business of the Speaker which will limp to its inevitable conclusion -just prior to the speech Cameron made another at Rossendale ostensibly to launch his party’s euro campaign but the latter half of the speech effectively told his constituency chairmen/members to start re-selection process for all his MPs and that he would once the “Truth and Reconcilliation Comittee of the Party” had gone through individuals expense clams he would himself be requesting the Board of the Party to issue instructions to relevant party Chairmen as they are able under the Party’s Constitution to start de-selection process on named MPs. He also went on to say that every Conservative activist;candidate and councillor would now be campaigning and collecting signatures for a petition for an immediate election as part of their local/euro campaign and he has now formally called for this Parliament “which has run its course” to be dissolved after 4 June and for a General Election to be called
This speech has got lost in the “noise” surrounding the Speaker but will have massive implications for Conservative MPs and the party itself. Cameron is clearing out the “dead wood” and innoculating the Conservative Party against any accusations levelled for over-claiming expenses at his MPs ready for an election and once again Brown has been wrong-footed. If he accedes to Cameron’s request(unlikely) he will be shown to be following the Opposition’s lead again or if he ignores it faces accusations of inaction and playing party politics.
If he actually cleans out his party instead of just talking loudly about it then he will have this left wing liberals vote. Not something I ever expected to say.
I think in the current climate that THAT will happen – if you have been found to be acting against the “spirit of the Green Book” and have claimed for things that cannot possibly be justified to enable you to undertake your role as MP and you cannot convince your local constituency party that you should remain as their MP – then you WILL go. There will be some VERY nervous Tory MPs tonight. Cameron has promised that on “live ” TV and he cannot afford NOT to do it. Rumours abound that 2 particular “senior Tory backbenchers” have refused to appear before Dave’s Star Chamber and have been told effectively “Fine – refuse and the whip will be withdrawn and you will face de-selection and be booted out of the Party.!”
All a bit “Super Mac” and the “Night of the Long Knives” for those old enough to remember it !
You are right, he does remind me of MacMillan. He’s got true grit. All this lot on his plate when he’s recently bereaved, but he steps up and takes them on… (not just Labour, but the shits in his own party too).
Go Dave!
I sincerely hope he has the steel to go through with this. If he can deep cleanse the Tories, they’ll sweep the board come election time. Then we might have a government with the balls to take on the EUSSR!
The Penguin.
By jingo (am I still allowed to say that?), if Cameroon follows through, here’s an embittered Old Labour man ready to lend a hand. Can’t stand these anti-democratic new labour creeps.
Michael White from the Gruadian is also a COMPLETE C U N T
Have you only just discovered that’ Where have you been?
Even he had no idea what was going go….cuckoo land would be reality compared with this lot.
David Cameron can maintain the traditions of the House by saying that he supports the office of the Speaker and can say at the same time that it is necessary for the wellbeing of the House that Carswell’s early day motion is debated. He should then state that the Conservatives will be joining the LibDems on this matter and will offer the first available Opposition Day for the Speaker’s position to be debated.
He would be seen by the country as again taking the initiative. Mr Cameron I hope you are listening.
He should resign because he opposed (with our money) the fight to publish the expenses in the first place, even if for nothing else. How can the fat windbag sit there, having done that, and claim that he’s sorry? My blood is boiling. They literally think they can go on taking the piss, and we are all too stupid to see it.
well… in a way he was right to keep it quiet.
He’s got more turkeys to look after than anyone other than Bernard Matthews, and in attacking him they’re all voting for Christmas.
Bootiful.
Guys, I thought I’d done a great job! You’re just jealous cause you’re poor and smell.
As soon as I collect my gilt edged exit plan, I’ll allow you to tug your forelocks
I cannot believe the conservative party has done nothing to remove this cheating speaker who has altered the rules and tried to stop disclosure of these expense claims.
The conservative leader and all our party MPs are a disgrace for making these claims. Paying them back now is far too little far too late.
I am therefore writing a letter to David Cameron to personally tell him I am disgusted with his lack of action. What he has said is pathetic and just not good enough. I would like David to know I am withdrawing my membership to the Conservative party whom I can no longer have any faith or trust in whatsoever. This is a very sad day for democracy in this country to see a corrupt official dodge justice again. There is a total disregard for the action the public are demanding and want for our MPs to be accountable, even if they can’t count themselves. This lack of action not only from our party’s MPs but from MPs of the other party’s as well is just unacceptable. But soon the public will get the one day of democracy they have every 5 years or so to cast the death nail into not only our Party but corruption in house as well.
No I think DC is right to rise above it and not set a precedent here whatever Martin has done. He knows that Martin won’t get away with it, but I think that if they are to maintain the role for future Parliaments I think the leaders of the parties should keep silent at this stage, and leave it to others to get stuck in. Brown, as PM, and as Labour leader, should be ultimately responsible for having a word in his ear and making him go, but the convention that the Speaker of the House, even this one, is not slagged off should be maintained by DC. He’s right not to jump on a bandwagon just cause its a popular one – there ar3e very good reasons why, historically, the Speaker is protected in this way. Don’t give up on DC yet, please! i’m absolutely sure he knows what he’s doing.
There are very good historical reasons to support the Speaker. Unfortunately the day he okayed the police to raid an opposition MPs office on the say-so of the government was the day he personally lost the expectation of that support.
The Speaker, Martin, is an enemy of democracy. He allowed himself to remain politicised and was used to break the convention that Parliament is sovereign.
Well then. Hoist on your own petard pal. You can’t piss and moan when your MPs are subject to fraud allegations and police investigation now that you’ve thrown the HoC open to the police once and you can’t expect MPs to defend you in your impartial role when you demonstrably are not impartial.
Before you write to Dave, do keep in mind that the nation’s and his Party’s interests might be better served by leaving Speaker Martin in place.
If this Parliament elects a new Speaker, once again the choice may well be made by New Labour and someone equally poor or little better than Martin selected – to be with us for a decade! The solutions to the present crisis do not depend upon the office of the Speaker (though a decent one would be a help, accepted).
The other difficulty is who amongst them who could be chosen is free of sin, sufficient not to suffer a fatal weakening of authority on the day when all expense claims are laid bare?
Historically, the position of Speaker is held by the 2 main parties in turn. Martin was the second Labour nomination, so by rights was an abberation.
Parliament is not required to keep the Speaker in the chair until he or she steps down. If the Conservatives (as the most likely winners of the next General Election) stated their intention in their manifesto of allowing the next Parliament a free and secret vote on the Speaker, to be in position until the subsequent GE, then it would soon be protocol for a Speaker to be elected by Parliament after a GE.
military coup now please. We can then sort out a new constitution from scratch.
I can see your anus.
Speaker Weaselled his way out of it, as expected
Has he no shame? Yes. But it is on a painting in his attic.
What a cnut.
Not so mate- it’s all about 130,000 quid extra pension if he lasts until the next election…..(with my deep regrets)
That’s easily solved. Next government pays his pension and that of all the civil service and local authority troughers on 100,000 and more, then hits them all with a 95% tax bill on their pensions.
Sleazy Martin is part of the problem. Unless he goes very soon, I can have no confidence in the house or in our political system generally. Surely there must be a way to remove him.
The speaker gives the impression he just wants to hang on as long as possible to grab as much as he can while he is there. Maybe that is unfair, maybe it isn’t. But this is the whole problem. We need honest MPs who are there to do the job as well as they can, not people who are promoted beyond their level of competence and bleed taxpayers dry while they are there.
The vast majority of the country is against the Speaker. It is time for him to step down for the good of the nation and the reputation of parliament. He should stop behaving like a complete member, and start to behave like an honourable member. It is time to say goodbye.
If Mick doesn’t go soon millions of the great unwashed masses will be rioting in the streets around Parliament………..yeah right!! Dream on Tory boys. LOL
I’m not a Tory boy you twat. But you are definitely unwashed.
That you think this is just about “Tory toffs” and party politics shows just how out of touch you nulabour kunts really are.
If Mick doesn’t exit soon then the great unwashed masses will be rioting in their millions around Westminster…………..yeah right. Dream on Tory boys LOL
Bzzzzzzzz. Repetition.
Good points, well made but lacking credibility coming, as they do, from Gooey Blob
The Tories only want to get rid of Micheal Martin because they are a bunch of snobs and want to replace him with one of their toffs, like Richard Shepherd.
If you Tory boys were honest you would admit that I’m right.
Fuck off and lick the remnants of my crusty shit stains from my old leather office chair.
To be honest, even a tub of lard would be an improvement.
Apologies…..he is a tub of lard.
Robert Mugabe would be an improvement at least he allows general elections and ballots.
oh yes, he’s fab at his job, its just cause he’s c ommon as muck we want him out. naturally. You see straight through us.
Look at Ian Dale… he has a suggestion: write to your MP. Let them know how you feel….
The Speaker: What You Can Do…
Iain Dale 4:01 PM
Ordinary members of the public may feel that they are powerless to do anything. They are wrong.
Fifteen MPs have signed Douglas Carswell’s Motion. They are Douglas Carswell, Kate Hoey, Norman Lamb, Richard Bacon, David Davis, Philip Hollobone, Paul Flynn, Gordon Prentice, Richard Shepherd, Philip Davies, John Hemming, Jo Swinson, Norman Baker, Lynne Featherstone, Stephen Williams.
Other MPs need to show their feelings now and sign this motion. What you can do is demonstrate your own sense of anger by emailing your MP, sending a message by Twitter or on Facebook urging them to sign this motion. You would be surprised at how much influence a barrage of emails can have. If you don’t know the email address it is normally the surname, followed by the first initial followed by @parliament.uk. So Douglas Carswell is carswelld AT parliament DOT uk. Or you can submit a message via WriteToThem.com.
Do it. Now.
UPDATE: Ian Gibson and Greg Mulholland are now signing the EDM. Let me know of others as you hear them.
go to http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ …type in post code…write stroppy email….easy
so may doing it the site is loading very slowly
My MP is a Labour whip. What do you suggest I say to him?
“You’ll get yours, you bastard” might be a good start
Great in theory, but the lazy fuckers don’t respond to emails.
I wrote to my MP this way demanding he vote for the Carswell motion and that he stick his head above the parapet and denounce the fraudsters. Haven’t heard a word from the Hoon!
Jacob Rees-Mogg for speaker – as soon as he’s elected. That’ll learn you.
Why is everyone getting so hot under the collar about this venal fuckwit? What do you expect slimy self-interested scum to do other than behave like slimy self-interested scum? Sheesh!
If they don’t vote out the Speaker and also vote to accept the Kelly recommendations in full and without amendment then we will know, for sure, that they do truly hold us in contempt.
And when Parliament and the electorate each hold the other in contempt we are, indeed, on the precipice.
Too many of them still ‘do not get it’
My hat’s off to those that do.
Pint of Ordure!
Makes a change from a pint of spunk
You stick with what you know best Kevin.
Michael Martin is out of touch. It’s time for him to go!
Or else there’ll be rioting outside Parliament. Yeah, right, dream on Tory boys LOL
Haven’t you got an urgent appointment in a public convenience somewhere?
Of course there will be no rioting. The Tories will just continue to go to work and pay their taxes like they always do. they haven’t got time to take a day off work and march on Parliament. Besides, as a million marching against the Iraq war show, Labour isn’t listening.
They’re sucking the end of their pencil wondering how to maximize their expenses.
War in Iraq? Yeah, whatever – but what I’d really like to know is which column should I put this expense for a bathplug in?
I think the Tamils have already beaten us to it ! Find another route home tonight.
What would be the point of that, when a demo in Parliament Square doesn’t stop the country?
The only time I saw this government running scared (apart from Tone’s face after they’d murdered Dr. Kelly) were the fuel strikes…
Fuel duty’s going up by 2p a litre later this summer — enjoy the show ;-)
Moderation on. Well done Draper!
Jocks are like stuck turds in your u bend. No mater how hard you flush, the fucker won’t go away.
Time for the nuclear options.
He’s got to be ousted, and only Camerooon can do it.
Hooray Comrade Speaker Mick will be with us for at leat another year.
Another great victory for the proletariat.
Wonderful, after another year the proles will pay him yet another 130,000 quid..think on that…he’s nobody’s fool. I’d talk shit for a year for that much.
Dave’s too busy clearing out his own muck heap at the moment
Won’t take long.
Michael Martin is an ugly twat who repels women unlike his brother Aston.
Gay Gordon likes him.
Would Gordon like the Speaker to fall on his pork sword arse first I wonder?
Ooh….he is awful, and nobody fucking likes him.
Where is the push going to come from though? They can just sit there until the legal last minute unless something really spectacular comes out in the next day or two. If they have survived this long I can see them stopping until the end. The electorate (that is the audience of Coronation Street) will get board with this once the holidays and Big Brother start.
Democracy may not work “properly” in the Third World but by now the average Asian would be out on the streets banner in hand. We are so apathetic in the West.
We need compulsory voting or at least a minimum turnout figure (60%?) but the next lot of troughing Hoons get elected.
I can’t wait for Toenails Robinaon tonight. This whole Speaker thing looks like it’s going to end up in the lap of McTwat. So will McTwat sacrifice a fellow thieving bastard jock? Will Toenails spin sympathy for McTwat?
I can’t wait.
Toenails was pathetic. Compare the simpering slaphead to Tom Bradby and Adam Bolton who really put the boot into the poisoned jock twat (That’s Martin not McTwat)
Another day of do nothing to fix the problems of politics.
The Speaker makes a holding statement that he will be gathering a committee within the next two days (soooo fast) to discuss the situation. The Tories launch their Euro election manifesto and Labor, what was that again they did to-day?
48 hours of additional heat under the expenses pressure cooker before the group of parliamentarians start to ask “whats cooking?”.
If this was a simile for the Titanic, the crew are now be busy placing explosive charges below the water line exactly where the visible and looming iceberg will strike.
You couldn’t make it up, well maybe you could.
Martin Salter MP and Stephen Pound MP have both been on TV this afternoon supporting Micheal Martin. What a pair of hoons.

Oh yeah. Silly me. For a millisecond there I thought we were all equal.
The house adjourns on Thursday for 6 days!
good. that’s 6 days they can’t be fucking up the Country.
It’s 6 days for the lying, scheming one-eyed Scottish twat to come up with another desperate plan to save his own lying, scheming, fat arse.
A normal week in politics then
I know it’s petty but what I’d like to see is a few of those green coaches the Met used to keep round the corner at demonstrations if they were doing a mass arrest – I’d like to see them driving out of Parliament Square, three or four of them, taking a bunch of the Commons’ finest down to Brixton Prison to keep on remand until Horseferry Road was ready for the commital hearings. Though even more I’d like to see a firing squad in Whitehall.
Nelson’s Column says:

Burn his fucking house down.
Exceptional times call for exceptional measures. Cameron and Clegg should walk and take their parties with them and call upon the Queen to dissolve Parliament.
The only issue is when they should go. Brown et al are still digging, so it makes some sense to leave them to their hole.
I wonder if the bloke that dealt with David Kelly, Robin Cooke and a few others does private jobs ? shall we have a whip around ?
I say dissolve parliament AND dissolve the United Kingdom, lets get back to how we were just before 1707 and the corrupt nobles that ran both the Scottish and English parliaments…not much has changed then, except we have them all oin the one place
Yes The Speaker is a problem but he is not THE problem. The problem is Labour government. IT WAS, IT IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE PROBLEM. They have screwed this once great Great Britain over and over again until the pips squeak. The difference this time is that the pips (US) are seeing the light and communicating via blogs like Guido’s and others. This is what makes it a first and it will bring about change; change that the old duffers and pontificating Toads of Toadminster just can not see. They are finished, washed up, they are expired, and as dead as Monty Python’s parrot.
Whether this old fart of a speaker goes now or not is irrelevant and for certain Cameron does not want another Labour speaker appointed now to frustrate him when he is PM next year (or earlier I hope). The longer he hangs on the better, it will just show up this lame duck government for what it is and bring an election sooner rather than later.
Let the old twerp continue to make a fool of himself, this government and parliament it will hopefully and finally show voters that LABOUR GOVERNMENT IS ROTTEN.
You really are an ignoramus.
I disagree the man speaks sense
Good sense. Give ‘em enough rope stylie.
How the fuck did speaker Fartin get so fat being teetotal?
Fucking hell I Eat and drink enough for two people and weigh half as much
He is in such a condition (face about to explode) because he stays up all night writing fraudulent invoices for expenses claims,as well as looking out of his window every 10 minutes to check the Tamil Tigers are still in Parliament Sq, to ensure the British public are not gathering at the same time to knob him.
And to watch Sky News at midnight so he can have a wank when Kate Hoey is on
‘Cos his food is free and he gets a car to move him about (all on our expense, of course)
How many hours does he do? (The question for the judge will be: ‘How many years shall I give him?’

Do it now!
Martin is a lying, devious, hoon and this will only make things even worse than they are already. This odious reptile is symptomatic of everything that is wrong with this government, and he is the appointee of the Great Leader, no matter how much the latter might try to disown him.
Rotten parliament indeed Nick Clegg.
I want an election. Parliament does not, at the moment, speak for the people. It is a farce.
Clegg has told Sky that he intends to liase with others to see if they can bring forward motion of no confidence as Opposition Day debate at earliest opportunity if the government refuses to allow Carswell’s Motion to be debated.
Brown is in a bind whichever way he goes on this. If he continues to deny a vote he will be accused of propping up an incompetent Speaker simply because he is Labour and playing party politics.
I suspect that there will be some feverish activity overnight and that a form of words will be found for Martin to go with dignity – probably along the lines of that he wishes to get matters sorted and once that is done he will “retire” at the end of the session prior to the Summer recess. The meeting with party leaders he has called should be interesting if he has not done the honourable thing by tomorrow afternoon. This is his last chance to bow out with dignity rather than face the ignominy that he will face day after day for the rest of this Parliament.
Interestingly Sir Stuart Bell “let the cat out of the bag” in his interview with BBC immediately after the statement by saying that he had given advice to the Speaker along the above lines but the Speaker had seemingly ignored that advice
Would you take advice from Stuart Bell?
bow out with dignity
He doesn’t know the meaning of the word.
Dame Celia,
You are saying what the vast majority of the country are demanding: a General Election now! That would solve the Speaker problem and the troughing MP problem at a stroke
The country doesn’t have the money to run an election – it’s bloody expensive!
The expenses row just isn’t going away, so Rip Her To Shreds couldn’t resist one more round of putting the honourable members in the Spotified spotlight.
THis week we’re asking ‘Who’s Sorry Now?’ (Obviously not The Speaker)
http://www.riphertoshreds.co.uk/the-beat-goes-on/spotified/the-playlist/
Haven’t read all the comments, so apologies if someone already said this.
If this Speaker was anything other than Liebor, he would have resigned by now. The socialist mantra is always ‘ we done nothin’ wrong, and we ain’t goin’ anywhere. The Liebor party voted me in, and I’m stayin’ until the Liebor party aren’t here any more’.
This whole situation is so awful that it defies logical description. How can these (so called) ‘honourable members’ possibly think that they are acting horourably. They are, by common consent in the pub today, including labour voters-for-life, so out of touch that they need to go, and go NOW.
Nothing else will restore the peoples’ confidence in this Parliament or government. I have never in my (very long) life seen anger such as is being displayed at present.
The problem is that we have a Prime Minister who firstly is intensely tribal and incapable of being bipartisan even when the fabric of Parliament is tumbling around his ears and secondly he is a “ditherer” and cannot make a decision preferring to put the decision in someone elses hands i.e. Leader of the House or to a committee of advisors. So no-one should be at all surprised that this whole thing is descending into high farce rather like the Captain of the Titanic calling for a show of hands whether he should order abandon ship and launch the lifeboats
The PM is scots, bully, tenth rate, liebour, and from glasgow!
Need I say more??
Just because one is born in a stable it does not make one a horse.
There’s a wonderful irony in having a Speaker who can barely string two words together, never mind finish a sentence successfully.
Exactly!
They played a clip of him talking on the radio this evening – for the first couple of sentences I honestly couldn’t tell what he was saying.
.666Ulster is only a pravince and it has 3 600 marches a year and that has never saved it from being a third world cess pit.
Today the speaker looked like a pantomime dame in a fluster, he has no authority if he is going to hang on then I would suggest that MP’S walk out en masse when he is speaking and perhaps he will finally get the message.
Whether David Cameron is your bag or not he is right we need an election now to get rid of the rubbish whilst appreciating most MP’S are honourable the ones who don’t get it must go.
There is an online petition on the Downing Street site sign it write to Gordon Brown or your local MP regarding the dissolution of Parliament and demand an election now. Theresa may for Speaker she can sort them out.
The country is on its knees lets get it back so that the hard work of putting everything that is currently wrong can commence.
If you vote BNP you have no shame.
Like all thugs and bullies, when push comes to shove no bottle at all. This apology for a man should be run out of Westminster on the end of a few boots. He doesn’t deserve any better.
I don’t mind watching a slo-mo car crash, but this is like watching super slo-mo. Any chance of cranking the speed up a bit, VT operator?
Could we not have a Parliament equivalent of a supermarket BOGOF – called a SOSOF -
sack one,sack one free;
Speaker (hardly a descriptive word for this oaf) and Sub Prime Minister in one go!
SASOF (Sack one – sack one free) is good. How about SAGOF – sack one, GRILL one free. I just LOVE barbecue pork!
how quick did macvity brown leave, one minute he was there then he was gone, what the hell was that, where did he go, has he commented yet on what the speaker said, no, did any of the journalists see him leave? will some one any one pin that bloody excuse for a pm down and get him to answer anything. did he tell the speaker what to say, is that allowed? more than ever we need this parliment dissolved.
He’s off to find some schoolkids for a photoshoot.
A charade of a man.
I commented on this earlier – I am guessing he either wanted to get out to avoid embarrassment or he had a meeting scheduled with a psychiatrist…….
Why didn’t someone ask for an emergency debate – The Speaker can decide on that.
ordure, ordure
OOOOOOOO DEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR O DEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
i’m available next week who’s first for the drop
All a bit like when you watch a rock rolling downhill.At first it goes slowly and then faster and faster and faster and anyone stupid enough to be standing in its way gets crushed.
Brown hasn’t got the “nouse” to understand that he needs to act decisively and quickly before the infection spreads from Martin to him and his government. Martin needs to be told tonight that he has to announce on Tuesday that he intends to retire in July and this needs to be done before the Opposition can re-table the motion in an Opposition Day debate otherwise they will have shown the public that they are the change the country desperately needs and that Martin and Labour are obstructing it. It’s the Gurkha debacle over agin. Does Brown really want to see Clegg and Cameron on the steps of Parliament harping on about the fact that they have acted for the good of Parliament unlike the Government which has continued to defend a bankrupted Speaker. Thankfully – Brown is incapable of being anything but partisan so the likelihood is that he will block Carwell’s motion and thereby he will do more damage to Labour electorally
Further to the Ghurka reference, didn’t Ms Lumley state that our esteemed leader would provide the answers to this problem ‘by the end of this month, May’?
Gordon, 13 days and counting, me old mucker. Or Ms Lumley will be outside your front door with the world’s press in tow, telling the planet what a worthless bit of shit you really are.
Only one solution; if he refuses a debate then the Tories, Libs and decent Labour MPs have to leave the Chamber whenever he takes the Chair.
For maximum impact they should all be in there, and leave all together when he comes in. Obviously if there’s a vote that Labour might lose they’d have to stay (in which case they should all hold their noses for the whole time), but close votes hardly ever happen.
Stay for the debates the deputies chair, but leave every time Martin comes in. Keep that up for a few weeks and even the thick-skinned Glaswegian will get the message.
Exacatly Tories and Lib Dems should walk out en masse it would hit the point home.
Although Snot Gobbler Broon would love it as he wouldn’t have to answer any difficult questions that tax his limited braincells.
Yes this would work. Opposition MPs and any Labour MPs who feel so inclined should walk out.
In tandem the Queen should be petitioned to call a meeting of the Privy council to advise on her constitutional role should Parliament become paralysed.
This constitutional shot across the bows should force the matter to a head.
Make the socialists bastards put a 3-line whip on any vote of confidence in Martin. It would show the country who really are playing politics.
We also need a Coventry campaign for MPs, to show them how contemptuous we all are of them.
Any time an MP tries to speak to you, ignore him. Don’t get into an argument about the issues, just pretend he isn’t there.
If an MP knocks on the door campaigning, shut it in his face. If he comes in the pub, ignore him. If he’s speaking somewhere, turn up and then leave as soon as he starts talking.
Taxi drivers, refuse to pick them up. Restaurants, refuse bookings from them. Shops, refuse to serve them. We all need to get involved so that they get the message.
Piano wire and lampposts. It’s the only real cure for the disease.

I am so ashamed, bewildered and despondent. What have we let these people do
Please HM do something . Save your nation. We need you. Please watch video of the King of Thailand where he makes the PM and other politicians grovel in front of him when they have their monthly coup. Maybe that is an idea
Can we send a couple of battalions (do we still have a couple) of Paras into Westminster and make all the pollies go on patrol in Afghanistan in soft skin vehicles. those that come back can have their seat back.
Did anyone notice Brown making a quick exit after the Shitty Speaker’s pronouncements? Apparently Brown is now telling the PLP what’s what including an external system of expenses. Who cares what Brown thinks anymore? Unfortunately any debate about the speaker is in Brown’s hands – we’ll be lucky if he can make a decision before the recess for the bank holiday. None of these MPs give a thought to what we, the people think. Election now would be good, followed by public hangings…………
The hounding & scapegoating of Speaker must stop. It should be made clear that Nick Brown had a big role in blocking freedom of information in relation to expenses. More emphasis should be put on the House of Commons Commission putting forward reforms that were voted down by MPs with Gordon Brown not voting. The Speaker has not been represented in most media assassinations lately – he has a lot more to say & should be heard. This in itself is good reason to cancel the execution.
Why are Lib Dems allowing the government to run this distraction tactic. This is probably the most cynical Executive ever & they are playing MPs for fools. Have you forgotten that the Government rode roughshod over the setting up of a Speakers Committee to investigate the Damian Green scandal? Or do principles go out the window when the MP is from another party?
Some talk of the Speaker as the boss of Parliament etc but the fact is he relies entirely on the Executive – who have put the boot in by not backing him. MPs have been 2 faced – they attempt to reduce freedom of information with the help of Government whips & involve the speaker. first they want support then they turn their backs on him.
I think this episode is the real shame of Parliament & you should examine the role of Government in all the fiascos he is being scapegoated for. That’s if they don’t fix the committees & kick out reviews until after the election (which Brown tried to do at first if you can remember).
I am disgusted & I hope Clegg gets what he deserves from this cheap short term opportunism
Bollocks you c UNT. The Speaker must fuck off as he is a a leech and a C unt.
@535
Get a grip on yourself.
The Speaker is an incompetent, biased, hypocrite, looking out for no-one but himself.
In the last few months he has twice allowed the police to waltz in to his Commons for mis-guided and purely political reasons. Now he feels that the Commons is again answerable to no-one. Not what you could call principled.
Damian Green never had any case to answer, but that didn’t stop Martin inviting the cops in at the Rt Hoon Jaqui’s request and then blaming the Serjeant at Arms. “Hung out to dry” to use your phrase. Honest? Trustworthy?
He has consistently resisted transparency. His preferred solution to the crisis today: A little meeting. IN SECRET.
The manner is which he has dealt with his own “expenses” (and those of his troughing family) is far from beyond reproach.
Why the fuck do we have a man who could not run a bath, taking on the most ironic job-title ever awarded and supposedly in charge of our parliament?
Don’t forget Elizabeth Filkin. Gorbals is a vile, vicious bully as well as a money grubbing Jockanese toerag. He is one of the filthy reptiles that Blair and Brown have always used to do their dirty work whilst professing themselves to be high minded paragons of virtue. A nasty crowd one and all.
You’re obviously very anti- Lib Dem but that shouldn’t distract that it was the Speaker that has continually blocked reform of the expenses and MPs perks. He’s also rather inept and is living proof that Peter Prinicple is correct in its assumptions.
However, I have changed my mind and think he should stay – that will keep reminding us all of the present situation in our cesspit politics and dirty MPs.
13eastie – the reason we have a troughing, hesitant, inarticulate moron who couldn’t run a bath supposedly in charge of our Parliament is as simple as spelling ‘Gorbals’ or ’shite.’ He’s there because he’s totally biased in favour of NuLiabour, who selected him, and NEVER orders the Prime Twat EVER to answer a SINGLE question. From the PT’s standpoint the Glasgow Gobshite is perfect.
The Peter Principle is alive and well. We have the fucking Peter Parliament.
A once-in-a-universe perfect confluence of 400 absolutely useless fuckwits. It is the fucked-up political equivilent of giving an infinite amount of monkeys an infinite amount of typewriters and an infinite amount of time to create the works of Shakespeare.
Unfortunately our infinite amount of monkeys formed a government of all the idiots.

Could this (w)hole situation get any worse?
(.Y.)
Yes it could limp on for another 12 months.
Sky are reporting that the Telegraph are going to release the Labour Chief Whip’s expenses…
Here we go, just posted on DT web site … six more parasites … whirlpool bath, £18,800 for four years of food, £3,000 new windows fitted at second home, over-claim on mortgage of £4,059, £1,000 of taxpayers’ money to hire an architect for a decorating project at second home, a week’s stay in a holiday cottage in constituency.
I hope the PM can see how dangerous the situation is becoming.
How can we trust a man who wears a skirt and stockings in the position of third most powerful figure in this country.
Is the question many labour MP
should of thought about many moons ago……………..
As this prevarication continues, there is serious need to dissolve Parliament and send the Met in with FSA back up to undertake a forensic accounting exercise.
July 4th is fast approaching……
He won’t go, he’s the scapegoat.
As always with Blair/Brown there is a scapegoat. Fred the Shred, Dr Kelly, Greg Dyke, an official, the french, anyone but them.
The price to be the scapegoat is to keep his job, and all the perks. and prestige that go with it. He is a gorbals mick, he won’t give anything up at all.
Cameron knows that a vote of no-confidence against a speaker who won’t resign, come what may, puts parliament in an untenable position, and will force Brown to resign calling a general election.
Cameron doesn’t want a general election right now, he knows the country are in a mood to give them all a happening, including the conservatives, as protests votes go to fringe parties, and in particular the one he is wary of, UKIP.
Leaving the speaker in place also scapegoats the conservatives. So cameron has a lot to gain and very little to lose by keeping him there. Cameron has worked out this will rumble on, and having another labour policitian refusing to do the right thing suits him fine. So does Brown having to go to the country with all his scammers in place. If Brown gets rid of all the scammers we have no cabinet at all.
Brown really is as stupid as the radicals say he is, he has left himself and the labour party wide open.
Dirty politics but effective
“Brown really is as stupid as the radicals say he is, he has left himself and the labour party wide open.”
Thank fuck for that.
I thought Mick did really well – trying to maintain the dignity of Parliament and forcing himself to stay on as Speaker till the House decides.
IT’S NOT UP TO THE FUCKING HOUSE MICK GEDDITT!!!!!
Keep sucking cocks you wanker, The Speaker is answerable to the house, even when he acts different. Labour is to blame for everything….
Especially if you are a girl
Had a look on labourlist (spit) the comments don’t like him either. If Brown keeps him all the worse for them. If he goes the fees office will get investigated, no win. Ha
Anyone notice that he could barely read? Glasgow not only has the shortest life spans in Europe, highest crime but one of the lowest education standards. Of course its largely been Labour run for nearly 100 years.
Nice one.
just seen SKY Gorden Brown tells plp don’t forget what you came into polotics

A Glasgy headbut? On a southerner his skull would crack through lack of calcium the fried mar bar corpulent 5 foot 2 the useless expeller of CO2. I say go green and bury him so something useful might emerge like a weed.
Brown’s big idea? put a mortgage interest rate cap on second homes. He still thinks property portfolios and related property expenses are the way forward?? What planet?
And whilst I attempt to bring all the dignity I can muster to this debate, all I can think is…….”Hoons – Hoons and yet more Hooning Hoons”.
Oh bugger – apparently we can no longer call a ‘hoon’ a ‘Hoon’. I stand corrected xxx
Let’s all hae a nice wee sing song. Altogither naw, “Ah belong to Glasgie, dear ole Glasgie town, there’s nothin the matter wi Glasgie cause it’s gaun roond and roond.”
Don’t suppose there’s any chance that hoon could be replaced by ‘cock’?
Woohoo……!

What the f*** does everyone expect?
A former European City of Culture, a city of deep fried Mars bars and men trundling around on f***ing caster wheels attached to their f***ing arses, croaking it before they’ve even reached their thirties, and what have you f***ing got?
Another f***king winner in Michael Martin, connoisseur of everything desperately Scottish and desperately f***ing mediocre!
As for his next career, I hear there is one f***ng Glasgow minicab controller who’s sometimes short on drivers in the Maryhill area on the odd godforsaken freezing piss-soaked night…
C***!
The longer Tricky Micky hangs onto his position, the harder will be his Downfall ™ .
The Speaker is prepared to give away part of the powers of the Speaker in order to save his own skin.
Hoon.!!!
Nick Brown gets it in the neck in the Telegraph tomorrow.
So do most of the Government and Opposition whips.
I’m going to write to my MP again. Got a nice email back from him this morning and I must admit he actually seems genuinely apologetic. Still needs to prove he’s worth trusting again though but at least he’s admitting what the problem is, that we don’t trust any of the politicians.
However, what I want to write to him about is:
Under no circumstances should the expenses fiasco be looked at in secret by the Speaker and a few selected cronies that want the status quo.
So, who should be looking at expenses?
Personally I say we need 2 Labour MPs, 2 Tory MPs and 2 Lib Dem MPs. Plus 2 members of the public.
So who should I tell him we want looking at expenses?
A bit MP heavy there my friend. 1 MP from each of the main (laughs) parties and 12 men (including some female chaps) good and true.
The aim is to actually give him a suggestion that will be taken seriously. Otherwise we’ll end up with the Scottish Mafia holding meetings behind closed doors and deciding that what is needed is more of the same.
Surely we can find 8 people to sit round a table and actually come to an agreement that the public will say yes to? Under no circumstances though should the MPs themselves have any say in who looks at reforming expenses as that will guarantee a half assed solution that benefits no one but the MPs.
It’s time: No confidence? Time to speak up.
A discreet, well-behaved gathering of people. And Old Holborn.
Be there…
Everyone, even the BBC is saying He has to go.
Michael Martin is saying nothing.
Would I be overly synical if I mentioned the words ‘Ill Health’?
Does anyone know if the ‘financial extras’ will still go to him if He resigns through ill health? I’ll bet they will. The problem is, absolutely no-one will believe it, especially if it’s reported what He’ll get.
However, is our caring sharing Gov still capable of spinning a fast one on us…
“M Martin was rushed into hospital in the early ours of this morning”.
You can bet ZanuBeebies will report it as…
“There has been concern over M Martin since monday afternoon when He appeared to turn a funny colour in front of the baying crowd”
Or, are they saving that one for Brown?
Or, as I say, am I being cynical?
Fucking hell! I nearly fucking choked when I read this!
Derek Wyatt, MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey, feels the solution to the issue is higher wages.
“I’ve always thought the idea of a salary and then expenses was fundamentally flawed,” he argues.
“MPs should be paid an inner London and an outer London salary and no expenses. The current expenses should be wrapped up into an enhanced, taxable salary, but that portion should not be allowed to be added to our pensions.”
Mr Wyatt adds that a starting salary of “over £100,000″ would mean MPs could “pay all expenses – accommodation, office rental, staff salaries – out of it” and then have those accounts “signed off and put in the public domain”.
FUCK OFF ARE YOU GETTING PAID THAT!
Apart from anything else it’s disingenious to claim that all expenses would be paid from a 100k salary. We know that staff and office expenses would NOT be paid from that.
You get your basic, tagged back to 1997 standards. Rent on a basic property that fulfills the criteria of “a second home”. Not rent or mortgage on a multi-million pound property overlooking the Thames. And that’s it!
You want to decorate it? Pay for the fucker yourself like the rest of us have to!
They did it on ‘Have I Got News For You’, so they can do it in the BIG HOUSE HMP WESTMINSTER Simply place a tub of lard on the speakers chair – no one will notice …
The Speaker situation is very easy to resolve simply request H M The Queen to invite the speaker to join her for tea at Buck House. HMQ then commands Gorbals to make a daily oral (and written report) in person to her at 5pm every day until this parliament is dissolved. He’ll fold within a week as there is no one to work the old Adler typewriter for him or spell out the long words…
THE OLD LARRY ALREDDY

We need to start running a book on when the General Election will be called…

PHONY TONY PROMISED TO DO A FULL TERM
THAT IS IN THE SKRYPT
AND IN THE BANQK OF ENGLAND
Sky keep saying “Michael Martin finaly speaks out, more next”, I’ve had it on in the background for the last hour, have I blinked and missed it? What are they on about?
Yet again Stuart Bell sticks up for the speaker. I wonder why that is?
Does the speaker know something about Bell, that Bell doesn’t want us to know about?
His loyalty seems very misplaced at the moment, though to be truthful. I wouldn’t expect anything else from Bell, after all this is an M.P. who hasn’t got time of day, or any loyalty for his constituents, or constiuents, as he calls them, amongst other things, I’m sure.
O/t I know but earlier today, I posted about Cameron calling for an election. Having had time to think since then ( Yes, I know I’m slow :-( ) and was wondering if anyone agrees that this is just a front? I don’t think he really wants an election yet, with still more scandal to come out and his side not exactly looking squeeky clean as it is, it’s likely that there will be more tory’s named and shamed but at least to the public he is making himself appear to steal the march on Brown again. He knows there is already a petition calling for Brown to resign and that hasn’t worked, so he is gambling on Brown bottling again and then D.C. becomes the one who looks like a leader.
Just a thought.
O/t again, any whispers as to whether Esther has joined the Jury Team?
As I pen these words, there are 666 comments on this post. Seems appropriate…………….
Oh aye, they were swinging frae the chandeliers in the Sarrie heid the night, ah can fucken well telt ya.
Better try to rehabilitate yourself while you can Gorbals, because by the look of you I’ll be seeing you soon!
