Max Clifford says…
“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
So he gets elected to spite the Tories, and they call these bunch of knobs “a sophisticated electorate”
W.W.
As Lenin said “the worse the better”
It’s the dying cough of this parliament of fools to elect this twat.
Ah fucking hell
“Speaker Bercow(benefit cheat): what a frightfully good idea!”
I do wish I had put my money where Guido suggested.
The writing was on the wall as soon as Iain Dale started trying to rubbish Bercows chances and playing up Sir George Youngs.
His political “judgements” have been hilariously bad lately.
Now his fag hag Madine Dotties says she will try and unseat Bercow.
Good luck with that Dotty.
You are an unpopular troughing piggy and as big a joke as Dale is.
Weekend World or Biology or Sunrise? Anyone fancy a dance to forget these times?
He was elected to be Labours Speaker. Impartial, my arse! Tell me he’ll get the boot next time round….PLEASE?
UKIP could try to take him out at the General Election.
I thought that the Speaker was exempt from the General Election and its chicanery…
could his own contituency party deselect him for treachery ?
Not treachery, simply a loquacious moron, just what we all need.
Yes, but don’t worry, turncoats always know on which side their toast is caviared. He’ll be sucking up to Cameron in no time – NuBLiar’s goose has been truly cooked!
So the Tory twats are offended because one of their own has been elected (but the wrong one) because the Loonys from Labour also have a vote. Which twat would they have preferred; Sir Chinless Wonder? Shadow Chancellor Snow White? Hooker Widdicombe (in the rugby sense of course)? Daddysboy Dave?
Peronally I would have prefered Frank Field.
I don’t like pricks of any Party. They happened to have chosen one of the top five pricks of the Parliment, if not the country.
Still what can you expect of 600 + pricks.
W.W.
i wanted bill cash he would have been cool
…and just when you thought that this bunch of parasitic clowns could not sink any lower, they go and find a way of doing so.
I agree
I think Julie Kirkbride should have been Speaker – honest, forthright, principled, friend of Dave, huband of MacKay a man of total integrity, sister of Ian a harmless naieve batchelor, sister of Karen articulate super secretary dedicate to public service by only accepting £12k from sister, daugher to Barbara who works for only £100 pw petty cash allowance, friend of Rita who selflessly gave up her job as checkout girl at Asda for a mere pittance of a salary. Julie Kirkbride has rightly refused to pay back a penny from all this expenses nonsense being pushed by the right wing press. Julie Kirkbride startd the Tory Reform Group at Cambridge. Julie Kirkbrid was the one for Speaker, WHAT ON EARTH ARE THESE FOOLS IN PARLIAMENT PLAYING AT? Julie Kirkbride could have reformed the whole system with total integrity. I cannot sleep thinking about this injustice.
A corrupt anti-British Parliament Of Fools!
i agree with anonymous’s comments
I agree with wotever you agree wiv
and i agree with you
Don’t be a prat – what is wanted is a great speaker from any party. I shall be totally amazed if Bercow turns out to be any good at all.
This is Labour doing its tribal worst, again. It doesn’t give a stuff for parliament. Socialist democracy is a mutually exclusive phrase.
oxymoron
A contradiction in terms.
Anonymous;
You do talk shite!!
Someone with a chip on his shoulder normally does.
Lets play the Ba>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
AHA!
Another little fucker
Democracy is too important to be left to the people
It simply proves what we knew already that those morons at Westminster have learned exactly NOTHING from these last weeks -unspeakable twats.
So after landing my new job as Speaker, a good find for any outgoing MP…..I lasted less than a day…..
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman MP walked into the HoC with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning and welcome to HoC. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’
The ugly woman MP stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7.
Why the hell would you think they’re twins?
Are you blind, or just stupid?’
So I replied,
‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am,
I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. ‘Have a good day ……………..’
My PM said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.
String all the fuckers up now ffs.
It’s another bloody stitch-up.
It’s the Labour way!
At least Mrs Hanging Baskets didn’t get her nose in that trough.
She really was going to be bad news.
What’s Beckett going to do now? Get a job as poster girl for quim cancer?
Agreed. But still aggrieved.
Agreed. I am glad to be proved wrong I thought Beckett was a shoe in. Very pleased she did not get it. Bercow was the second worse choice and of course the labour vote got it for him but interesting to see what Cameron does next. Bercow in his speech said he wanted to hold the office for nine years doubt that will sit well with the tories. Beckett will probably get a post as an ambassador for the Camping Club just about where her talents lie. Can you believe the sanctimonious speech she gave and that woman has been in government for 12 years, which says it all.
Off subject but still very important…Questions and Answers on RTE 1 (Irish TV a bit like QT) debating the Lisbon Treaty. Some twat saying that ‘Ireland at the heart of Europe’……what a load of b……….s Only one person on panel against.Audience a bit more questioning than the panel. But most people for it. What a shame that the Irish are taken in by all these duplicitous politicians and this crap treaty.
It’s probably VERY like QT in that the audience are picked for their views…
The State media have been astro-turfing for years.
How are the Irish so easily bought off? Its still the same Constitution.
Look how the great freedom-fighters roll over for Brussels.
They still might come up with the goods out of spite although with the parlous state of their economy its not looking good.We still owe them a debt for holding the line thus far.
Our only hope is that whatever deal Brown has done with the europeans to shaft us can be undone by the fact that our constitution cannot be bartered like a commodity by unelected ,unscrupulous ego trippers without first obtaining the consent of the electorate to such a deal.Whichever way you cut it there is only one word that covers this foul act and thats Treason.
Yes, it’s treason all right. Notice how the former Guantanamo inmates who were variously ‘on holiday’ or doing ‘social work’ in Afghanistan were not charged with treason.
Why?
Because the fuckers who constitute our political leadership have themselves been traitors.
Are the Irish REALLY going to vote to never vote again? The Lisbon treaty ENDS all possibility of future referendums on future treaties, no matter how much sovereignty is given up in them.
This is not the treaty that hands over the last shreds of sovereignty, it is the treaty that allows that to happen unopposed in future treaties.
Will the Irish really vote to never vote again? It will be a sad day for about half a billion people in the EU if they do.
We will be relying on the Czechs to save our sovereignty from European takeover then.
Only the Irish can save England!
It is very important and goes to the very heart of the matter: something very wrong is being done to democracy in many European nations.
I don’t like this whole re-running of referendums when they don’t go a particular way idea, for instance. It makes a mockery of the process, of democracy and of sovereignty. It’s an insult to the intelligence of the electorate at the very least, isn’t it? “You voted this way; you got it wrong.” That would be arrogant presumption, wouldn’t it? It should also be illegal.
Mind you, I suppose Brits should be envious: at least Eire got its referendum. We got the kipper treatment.
Stitch-ups seem to be very much a part of the European modus vivendi nowadays. I wonder, did the UK catch the disease from the EU or vice versa?
It’s certainly time to put the question: where will it all end?
barbra beckitt a hoon and a fucking ugly one at that
It will all end when EU President Blair takes the EU into a war alongside the USA against Russia and China (based on more lies) and we are all forced to join up to fight or get thrown into slave prison camps.
We have our own too, Jan. McBust said last week that we will have the best digital service in the world. What, on 2 meg, when other countries are already racing ahead on 20 meg or more? Has he the slightest idea what he is talking about? If he thinks we swallow this crap then he’s even more delusional than we thought. Has anyone actually told him what broadband is, and how far behind we really are? Like everything else in the past 12 years, we are at pretty well at the bottom of the league – except as a laughing stock, where we truly excel.
You got all that right. The problem with Brown is the worse lie and the craziest work of fiction by repeating them over and over again enough times can make them become the truth. The guy is ready for the funny farm. Can’t wait for the two by-elections the scottish one is next to Brown’s patch and should give the SNP a pick up even though the majority is very large (Martin’s Seat) but the by-election in Norwich will be the barometer of where public opinion really sits and will probably be the one that seals Brown’s fate. Interesting times ahead.
Whoops, I was wrong when I suggested at 2020hrs that Young would win.
I underestimated [again] the intelligence of MPs
Barry
No, you over estimated the intelligence of MPs.
W.W.
And the greed of Labour MPs – certainly not voting to improve the image of the house, but to grub a bit more money from the taxpayer. Venal scumbags.
Christ alive! The Berk’s got it!
So that’s why slater was pushing him when interviewed on tv today.
No you neither over or under estimated as it does not exist in the first place.
Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker WankerWanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker WankerWanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker Wanker

Labour hold.
Brown finally won something.
DRINKS PARTY @No 10, Paw Broon toasting Bercow win, small glasses of Irn Bru all round!
And bang goes another nail in to the coffin of Great Britain
Yup, this little worm Bercow will be off on the first flight to Tel Aviv to confer with his controllers there as to how further the expansion of settlement building on Palestinian land. That’s the only thing this patsy is interested in, in common with far too many of his co-horts. Bastard scumbags without exception.
RO – this was my first thought also.
John Bercow : My right honourable friends , welcome to the kosher nostra.
Too bloody true. He loves the smell of white phosphorus burning semite babies to death in the morning.
One things for sure we know he has had the snip off the top.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! pause for breath NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
I second that emotion.
This is horrific.
Thirded.
Its about time we had a new speaker.
Bercow!!! Gorbals was more trustworthy
Any chance we could ask him to come back……? No? Bugger it. Got to hand it to Mandy, he’s bloody good. Got the result Blair …….I mean he wanted.
Business as usual then… labour bugger it all up for everyone, just to be petty.
Pretty much sums it up. The country can go to hell – its the stupid little games that really matter
Time for a military coup.
Sigin me up
Ready and waiting – give me 1 minute in a room with Brown – take his other eye out and rearrange his body parts with a rubber truncheon.
Stand in line please. You’ll get your turn.
me two
I’m in. Got 3 Collies, so can round ‘em up ready for the firing squad.
Won’t happen, all our troops are in Afghanistan
Anyone need a sniper?
led by whom?
ME…!!
I think the only people who could be relied upon to be even less competent than this lot, and the men and women of our armed forces.
I think the only people who could be relied upon to be even less competent than this lot, are the men and women of our armed forces.
Are you for real? Every one of them is worth ten of you, tosser.
How f**king dare you say such a thing. F*cking prat.
Guido mods please let this through.
THIS GUY IS A F*CKING PR*CK. He deserves a good kicking by every person who has ever served.
BUT THERE ARE BOYS
I really hope you do try it. The sight of the Pink Panzers being teargassed and tasered on the streets would be the best entertainment since Little Georgie Osborne tried the excuse “its talcum powder”.
NO FUCKING WAY NOT THE FUCKING MIDGET-LEPER!
FUCK OFF YOU CORRUPT MP MOTHERFUCKERS!
there, I feel much better now I’ve got that out my system.
I give bercow 10 months tops.
note to the midgetspastic bercow: I think you are a total fucking sp@stic.
enjoy it while you can cripple for it will soon be taken away from you.
and can’t you get some cream for that facial leprosy you have?
you ugly fucking bastard.
Say it like it is TaT!
Anyway, I wouldn’t give Burke-O 10 minutes, never mind 10 months.
Once again the NuLiebour types have tried to take a political advantage, no matter what the cost.. They just make it clear to everyone just how bloody awful they all are, how unfit they are even to set foot in the Mother of Parliaments. I hope they are satisfied with their efforts.
Frankly they just sicken me. If this bunch of losers couldn’t even be trusted to select the most able of the bunch then I hope their next defeat is a real humdinger.
My thoughts exactly, once again, just as with Gorbals, the Labour cohorts combine purely to spite the Tories therby doing untold damage to parliament, democracy, and thus to the country.
Does any constitutional lawyer know whether there is a mechanism to get rid of him short of someone winning against him at the next election? Pray to God that some big name independent stands against him! The man’s a very bad joke.
I’m totally in despair, no wonder this country is going down the tubes,.when MPs can’t even take a decison of this enormity seriously! BUNCH OF RAVING PIGMY HOONS!!!
Pardon the caps but I do feel like shouting and raving
Labour are clearly deternined to lay waste to everything before they are forced out.
Bunch of s*its and retards. God I’m angry!
Agree, the plot sickens.
post of the month, tat!!
I think you are a little bit upset ? ? ?
TaT said what I was thinking, actually!
Yawn. More by the numbers faux outrage from TwAT.
It is so very difficult after all…
“Noooooooooo!!!! a wanky pigfuckin pugly dwarf. Get him OUT. OWTTTT!!
MP’s are BAD MEN they are all corrupt0rzzz !! CORRUPT!
He will be gone becoz.. (let’s leave that shall we) Spazzz SPazz Spaazzz ugly man, ugly man, face like a can of spam” (etcetera.)
I’d say he was winding the Toryboys up but such subtlety is beyond him so he clearly likes the attention and encouragement unwitting Toyboys give him.
Try saying something useful TwAT.
Like HOW Bercow will be gone ?
What exactly wil Call me Dave DO to get rid of him “in 10 months” ?
Hmmm?
You might not have been paying attention but Call me Dave refused even to call for Martins resignation and the only way Martin went was because of one of the biggest Political Scandals in Decades.
Call me Dave can’t just wave away a Speaker because he doen’t like the cut of his jib. Particularly a Conservative Speaker.
Once again thick as thieves anti-semitism rears its ugly head.
Er, are you the lesbian strap-on woman?
Oh and you are the anti-semite. Nitters like you do a lot of damage to the perception of Israel. Thick as Thieves is in fact very pro-Jewish. He wishes Israel to exist securely and peacefully with her neighbours but you want Israel to suffer perpetual conflict.
He just hates war criminals, it doesn’t matter where they are from.
Don’t you hate war criminals too Doctor Mick?
Get off the fence TaT
Yeah come out the closet Tat.
Sorry failed to see how the plonked T&T was anti-Semitic. Is spaz a newspeak word for the people with no pullovers. Forgive me for saying this but the use of the word anti-semitism is often a poor and malicious attempt of killing any rational argument over the brutal behaviour of Israel and am immediatly suspicious of anyone who needs to bring up the racist issue instead of debating an issue on it’s merits. I believe our women hating Muslims often resort to such childish behaviour. Please don’t moderate this or I will only assume it’s “coz I is black”
love to all, except those who label others,(including the poor weak souls who are brainwashed by religion)
TAT have you calmed down now? You heart rate must be off the scale, I loved the post but don’t let the little fucker give you a coronary.
Its like the magicians card trick they make you chose the pile(of shite) they wanted in the first place whatever you do.
Can we riot in the streets now??
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Wouldn’t, I’ve a nasty feeling plod’s been taking notes of how Iran is dealing with their protesters! The motor cycle snatch squads would appeal to them.
Great to see a Rangers supporter in charge of parliament and as we say bye bye to celtic gorbils mick!!!
Guido, time to get yer crosshairs out mate….
Yeah, where’s that photo of him in combat gear you promised us?
Oh dear , oh dear, oh dearey-dear – look what they’ve gone and done now. These MPs need to be cleared out en masse if they think Bercow is the right man for this job.
Yep, yet another foreign agent who will sell us out faster than he would his Yiddisher mama.
Steady on old chap!! I was meant to be the only B M P looney right winger conspiracy nut type in the village.
Funny you should say that, he made a point of mentioning his mother in his acceptance speech; and his wife,,,and each one of his children…Did no one tell him it ain’t an award ceremony like the Oscars?
The fact is they do not think he is the right man for the job. Hence that is why they voted for him they are all politicians first and the country and its citizens are at the bottom of the list.
Bercow, the Tory who Cameron denies is a Tory. Because he was too right wing, or because he is too moderate – compared to the Tories who now lead all those “crank” European fascists. David Cameron should now revive the Monday Club.
Poisonous little creep.
IMHO
They do make it so easy for those people who say that Parliament is one big fraud
“Parliament is one big fraud”…
Yeah, that was easy
Ho fuck he has no foreskin as well.
Lloyd George once said of Herbert Samuel, a co-religionist of Berrr cow, ‘when they circumcised him, they threw the wrong bit away’
Hula Hoop anyone?
but to be fair his addendum is rarely remembered – “but the bit they threw away survived anyway and grew up as Winston”.
Best laugh tonight ! It went some way towards lifting my depression on this very sad night
Onion ring, I hear he is a big boy!
I must admit that is a bit of a drawback.
Any suggestions about bercows original name?
It’s short for BER/nt COW/ards with a nod to Mr B. Manning
Well, now, he is a TORY MP, so if it’s such a disaster for the TORIES, why was he allowed to stand ?
You lot are all mad.
Silly Hoon. Bercow did not have to seek the Tory’s or Cameron’s permission to stand.
Bercow’s a self promoting wanker.
LOL. Dickhead.
I KNOW that, what I am saying is that how can a Tory MP be a disaster for the Tories ?
If he is that much of a knob then shouldn’t someone have had a quiet word ?
Anyway, they’re all hoons.
Fido, Bercow was more of a Labour hoon than a Tory hoon, he spent the last couple of years greasing up to the Govt benches, cos he fancied the job he now has.
You silly Labour wank breath. It’s precisely because Bercow’s a corrupt knob that his nomination papers were signed by Labour wankers and Labour wankers voted for him on masse tonight.
Labour party = corrupt incompetent hoons, geddit?
But good idea – his local party should try and deselect him. Be useful if some shit could be dug up first. Bercow’s got form so that won’t be hard to find.
but remember Bercow also has all the shit on Cameron and even more on Shadow Chancellor Snow White. Exposing shit cuts both ways (and should be most entertaining).
Bercow’s been promoting himself for a long time and he’s now on the gravy train for the rest of his life.
Someone push him into the Thames and be done with it.
The Thames is polluted enough, without adding to it.
Obvious solution here is for concerened constituents to join his local Conservative party en masse and deselect the bastard. Ha ha ha.
Could probably have worked for that useless bastard Martin as well.
Can’t be done… unless the constituency party demands to place a candidate up against him.
Whadya mean ‘can’t be done?’ Do you mean to tell me if Bercow was (say) revealed to be a KGB spy that his constituency party would have no way of deselecting him?
I understand that he has to serve his term but once (if?) an election is called then presumably all the local constituencies get together and have to vote on who they’re putting forward as the official Tory candidate. At which point they could deselect him.
No?
The Speaker has no party affiliation now…
Okay. Does this mean that his local Tory party will not be sticking up posters on his behalf? I’m guessing (though I could be wrong on this) that they will in fact be actively campaigning for him.
Imagine they had a show of hands and refused to campaign on his behalf and let a well-rganised independent (UKIP?) candidate run a properly capital;ised campaign.
Would that not work?
You obviously don’t live in Glasgow !
Not as mad as Backrow is if he thinks he’ll be there after the next election.
I’d rather have had beckett than bercow, and that’s saying something. Yes, Quentin, he did look like a swollen amphibian didn’t he? But it’s what’s inside his head that worries me!
Yuk Yuk Yuk… nothing worse than a turned Tory… watch him being pally with Shaun Woodward. Bercow is an utter aresehole.
and he has the “short man’ syndrome
He’s certainly short of something.
And he’s a fucking Arsenal fan too. It doesn’t get any worse than this.
Shortist.
Please.. not an “aese hole”…..Arse holes serve a very useful purpose!
Yes – I have heard that one member of the shadow cabinet can get 3 condoms full of a certain substance up his.
That would be funny, if it were funny.
Oh God, he sticks his tongue out of his mouth when he talks – do they all have these odd mouth habits because of their £400 monthly food bills and they are literally chewing food all the time?
Greasy and oily – a lizard representing a tribe of lizards.
He sits there like Ronnie Corbett testing out a giant sofa in Ikea.
Brown now speaking – cannot string a sentence together – this piece of shit is our representative on the world stage – a criminal fraudster – looks like he is on his last legs now – just a few weeks to go before he is stretchered out of Downing St.
Cheers E o E…I needed a laugh. Does he have inserts like Sarko? How come they both have tall birds?
Gordon Brown’s wife looks like a lizard person. Look at pictures of her face those eyes aint proper human eyes i tell ya.
So we’ve gone from an obstinate Glaswegian shop steward to a greasy chancer who’s only interest is himself, and could pass for a dodgy used-car salesman. I can’t wait for the good folk at Private Eye and their take on the whole rigmarole.
Actually, you’ve just made me see the upside to his selection..! The satirists are lining up already.
Ian Hislop has just sent out for two new Biro’s
One to tap his desk with and the other to clean out his ears, the wee oaf.
Cameron to Bercow: “Your success will enable all of us to succede.”
Labour MPs have no idea how they’ve let themselves be manipulated by the next PM.
Cameron should shut his gob on this. He’s only pissing off his own supporters with the pseudo magnanimous crap. Bercow needs to know that he’s out come the next election.
New Lab wankers Steve Richards, Stuart Bell, and Blunkett are on BBC News 24 saying what a fine appointment Bercow is. That says it all really.
There’s no way Cameron would eject Bercow – too much of a risk that his replacement would be someone Cameron can’t control. Cameron has got his man, a Speaker who will ensure there will be no risk of Parliament holding his government to account, and he’s gone one better than when NuLabour got Gorbals Mick in there – whenever people try to point out that Bercow is undermining Parliament in favour of Downing Street, he’ll be able to say “but Labour MPs elected him”. He’s a genius.
Sorry, but this is sophistry.
Bercow is a sleazy git and if Cameron tries to cosy up to him he’ll be punished for it. There’s real anger out there with the smart arse chiselling political class.
Bercow must go next election.
If there’s that much animosity to the political class, Cameron won’t become PM anyway.
Complete and utter bullshit.
Only a complete fool would think Bercow was “Cameron’s man”.
Come back when you learn something about the people you are talking about. Cameron despises Bercow and so do almost all the Conservatives. He got maybe 30 Tory votes in total at the end from those Tories who saw the writing on the wall and want to now suck up to the new speaker but no-one who has been following this in any depth is stupendously dumb enough to believe Bercow was anything but the Labour choice.
Keep spinning desperately little Anon as it is amusing if nothing else.
Not a lot of democrats in these comments …
not a lot of democrats on the Govt. front bench.
oh yeah, like Labour Mps would know the meaning of democracy if it was rammed down their stupid fucking gullets.
These comments are all from democrats.
it is just that we do not live in a democratic country.
Guido mk1, resurrect thyself!! Your country needs you!
I agree with everyone else. Bercow will be a disaster. I’m pleased you won your money though, Guido.
I know everyone is spitting feathers right now, but, ultimately, will it make *all* that much difference? Surely Brown is finished either way. Isn’t he?
He may be a disaster for the HoC, but judging by everyone’s opinion of him here, I reckon he’s the best man for the job. He’ll keep Guido gainfully employed and keep us all entertained as further details of his background emerge. Let the show begin!
My thoughts exactly. To every cloud there is a silver lining…in this case it’s Backrows inner lining
Could the Conservative Party deselect Bercow for the next GE?
the speaker stands for election as the speaker, not with any party affiliation
Although “convention” states that the Speaker is not opposed in his constituency, there is nothing to stop an independeny from standing against him. Who wants to be the first cyber-promoted MP?
I wonder if he will ditch the Serjeant at Arms? He better cos she’s Mick’s moll.
Yea, but Mick stabbed his Moll in the back over the Damian Green affair and let her take the rap for his incontinence.
I think you mean incompetence but incontinence works fine.
Agreed but a military type would not need the stabbing. They are used to making decisions and might stiffen the little tosser’s backbone. If he doesn’t do so, he might have to watch out….
If who they quoted in their speeches is a guide, Cameron voted for Dhanda and Clegg voted for Young.
The Queen can, of course, refuse to appoint Bercow. Start petitioning her now.
Dhanda was quoted by both Clegg and Cameron in their speeches, and rightly so. A star in the making after his speech.
Let’s hope he can keep nose nose clean, unlike Gordon Brown.
Dhanda will be the UK Obama a labour friend just told me
Surely Dhanda can speak without an Autocue, unlike Zero?
While Dhanda was never going to make Speaker, his speech was absolutely what the public wanted to hear – Cameron and Clegg both noticed that, the people want a real change….
No mention so far of the Speakers’ Pension – if he only serves for 10 months he will get half his salary (141k/2?) for the rest of his life. He’s only 46…
My understanding is that you have to serve at least one year. Out him at the GL.
Telegraph thinks otherwise..
The pension, which MP’s do not have to contribute to, is worth half the Speaker’s salary for life regardless of how long they serve. At least two of the leading candidates, the Conservatives Ann Widdecombe and John Bercow, are expected to only serve as Speaker for a year if they are elected next week.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5581428/MPs-expenses-Speaker-hopefuls-want-to-keep-the-golden-pension.html
I wonder how serious Mr Bercow is about that reform….
Stuart Bell = I thought John Bercow’s speech persuaded some of his own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s just pathetic. Here we are at a time when they should be trying to win back a bit of public respect for British politics and all they can do is play childish games and elect someone who will clearly not be up to the job. Fuck all of them.
innit.
I get the feeling labour just dont get it
They get it perfectly – they just don’t care. They’re scorching as much earth as they can before next June.
Scorched earth is right! It is so scorched, Lord Fondlebum’s underpants have spontaneously ignited. It is so scorched that income tax will have to rise to 110% of salary to pay off the debt burden. You think I am joking?
So its Swiss Tony, what a fucking sham. I’m off to Iran a proper democracy.
Mr Speaker Fagin shurley?
Bless you infidel.
Did the MP’s who stated that they are going to stand down at the next election get to vote?
I have no view on Bercow (There are always three versions of the truth) but I think this would be an ideal opportunity for Brenda to accept the appointment of The Speaker then dissolve this discredited Parliament. That would send a clear message to all the smug bastards in Parliament that we have a higher authority and that they do have a responsibilitiy to serve us not fucking rob us.
Of course the disgraced and reviled folk got to vote!
This is a true democracy. None have been arrested even.
They pay back the money, even waving big cheques at us (13k).
Not for them the terrors of misfiling on self assessment. They don’t get charged any interest or collect any penalties. I am still curious why their expenses, aka Benefits In Kind aren’t taxed via a P11d. How very odd.
So no tax on their treats, can claim on phantom mortgages, because it’s the system!
None of them did anything wrong, and the IRD can go and fuck themselves. But only after they have screwed as much out of the commoners as they can.
Total Piracy.
Agree ABSOLUTELY, am spitting feathers!
God – I am GOOD
Best man won.
It’s shame Cameron couldn’t have withdrawn the whip from Bercow a couple of weeks ago…. the Greaser is more Labour than half of their MPs in the house!
My f*cking God: just when the complete revelations of troughing are published in The Daily Telegraph (Saturday) and one thinks they can’t go lower than this, they go and elect an utterly despicable, rancid, Woodwardian (Shaun that is) arse-hole to be the Speaker to replace the previous soiled incumbent. Our MPs really are the scum of the earth.
Seriously, what will it take?
Why the suprise?
House of Shits elects Shit as Shit-speaker.
Once again Cameron stands up and looks like a Prime Minister, Brown looks like some shambolic drunken undertaker!
I hic I resent thaaaat – bury the twat
£141,000 salary. No wonder he was so keen to be dragged to the chair.
And a gold plated pension that gives him 50% of that salary even if he only stays in the job for the next ten months !!! Oh he knew what he was after!!!
No hay available to lead horse face marble mouth Huhne to the chair………
We live in interesting times. Perhaps Bercow’s 18,000 majority is not all that safe, in the face of intense scrutiny of his affairs
Traditionally the Speaker is unopposed in his constituency at General Elections…
Shit!
Only by the main parties. There is nothing to stop an indy standing against him.
UKIP might want a crack.
But then again, who doesn’t?
Let’s have a whip-round for the deposit, choose someone whiter-than white to run on an “anti-corruption” platform, and work towards getting him/her elected.
not mandy. thai’s 4 sure
Where is MARTIN BELL when we need him ?
He might be unopposed – it’s just that no-one might vote for him. Probably no more than a minor hiccup for this smarm merchant, but it will make his constituents (including me) feel better.
PS Tony and Cherie also live in Bercow-land (when not in London). Coincidence?
I thought the Blairs bought a massive house in Connaught Square along with the one behind it?
Game, set, and match, they’ve got you again!
Is he not now unopposed at the election ?
Maybe his consituency party could just de-select him. Now that would be funny.
There are 18,000 voters who would prove you wrong
2005 General Election:
Speaker Michael Martin 15,153
Scottish National Party John McLaughlin 5,019
Socialist Labour Doris Kelly 4,
Scottish Socialist Graham Campbell 1,402
Scottish Unionist Daniel Houston 1,266
British National Scott McLean 920
Independent Joe Chambers 622
Martin won’t survive the election on those figures. It’s not all bad news then.
I think you’ve understated Socialist Kelly’s poll just slighty – should be 4036.
Martin is standing down and has put up his son to keep it in the family. Just like the Windsors.
In the 2005 General Election Michael Martin in traditional speaker form is unapposed. The SNP had to put up a candidate due to their house rules, but didnt really bother campaining, so its interesting that they got as much as they did, by sitting home watching the telly! Now it will be open season for better indications look at the 2007 Scottish Parliament elections and the recent Euro election fest. For those with a freindly turf accountant, suggest placing a bet on Labour coming 5th behind the Senior Citizens Party!
Yes – the main parties will no doubt stand aside, but UKIP might not, and I reckon they woudl win the seat if Cameron looks like he is waivering on the Lisbon Treatry referendum. So, Bercow unseated – leading to a consitutional “crisis”, but he gets to keep his pension! The nightmare continues
There are ways.
Fred the Shred decided to give up a bit.
In Berkos case – a lamppost.
Would you need a lamp-post? You could probably hang him from a tow-hitch.
There must be plenty of money somewhere if mps can dole out all this money
in wages and pensions willy nilly
I see a strong independent going against him at the next election, willl be interesting to see how it plays out.
BTW, it’s of note that both Cameron and Clegg mentioned Dhanda’s speech about ‘getting it’, he was never going to be elected but elements of his speech were of note – there is massive public opinion for modernisation of the whole system…
2005 election:
Conservative John Bercow 27,748
Labour David Greene 9,619
Liberal Democrat Luke Croydon 9,508

Let’s get Bercow, sleazy git. He should be good for some sport.

Yep NewGirl- but especially on Bercow and gordon.
I’m going to enjoy watching them lurch from one crisis to the next over the next 10 months.
Oh, I do hpe so.

if you are unattractive ones then I aint gonna hold no camera for no skanky assed crackhead bitches.

Nice, TwAt, very nice. You showing your decorous, well educated, well mannered side again.
Better still, a plaque on all their houses!
Nice one. Like your work guys.
Anyone was better than Beckett.
Sorry – Bercow is lower than horse manure – he’s the one who promised MP’s he’d seek £100,000pa for them.
Being a politician, he reserves the right to completely ignore all manifesto pledges once elected, and in this instance, I hope he does.
Trouble is Engineer his wife’s an MP – if she earns £100,000 and he gets £144,000 as Speaker – they will be grabbing a £quarter million a year from we taxpayers . (And thats before expenses, travel allowances, office costs etc etc) – He’s going to be richer than the Kinnocks!!!!
They are, as they say, laughing all the way to the bank!!!!
After her performance on QT I’m surprised she had the gall to even suggest running…
Oh please, she’s an MP, in comparison a rhino has softer skin.
This little piggy went to market
And won
oh shit
First, I would implement radical reforms to the system of allowances, but I would do so with respect and reverence for Parliament itself. This House is neither corrupt nor crooked, but what was meant to be a straightforward system of compensation for Members has become immensely complicated, mired in secrecy and short on accountability.

That’s why he had to claim for Insurance against Tax Inspections even though MP’s are not taxed on their ACA!!

BERKIN MAD UTTERLY EFFIN BERKIN MAD
There is no statue on this unopposed business is there?
I can’t get my head around this. The person whose office that is supposed to guarantee democracy actually is exposed to the democratic test…..
It is a *tradition* that Mr. Speaker is unopposed in his Constituency: just as it is a *tradition* that a Labour Speaker must be followed by a Tory one, and vice versa. NuL has made such a point of contravening traditions, it would be unthinkable, surely, for a Conservative Government not to cede them these points!
There’s no tradition that the Speakership alternates between the parties. The tradition that Labour scrapped is that the Speaker is nominated by the government and there’s only an election if the House doesn’t accept that nomination.
Well hasn’t the House done well!
It has voted in the one man who has no chance of restoring public trust!!!!
hear hear!
Which shows what contempt they have for us mere mortals, particularly Labour and Lib/Dems.
There could hardly have been a worse outcome. The man is a complete and utter buffoon – as demonstrated by his wholly inapt speech today with its extended mimicry of a Colonel Blimp style MP (probably a total invention by him).
Labour have taken the office of Speaker and dragged it through the gutter by appointing the useless, partisan Michael Martin. They are now trampling on what remains of that office by electing someone who has all the gravitas of a performing chimpanzee.
I can’t for the life of me think why MPs didn’t appoint one of the proven deputy speakers. A period of dull, dedicated, impartial competence is what is required now.
Instead we are going to have to put with this grinning ape making himself comfortable on daytime TV sofas.
He was doing Peter Tapsell.

As long as they give him a BIG cushion – otherwise they won’t see him.
I continue to believe the vast majority of members of this House are upright, decent, honourable people
John Bercow
That says it all really. No change. A huge bucket of whitwash. Mark my words.
£100,000 all round fella’s! Drinks are on me!
The people of this country universally believe that Parliament is totally corrupt, almost universally crooked, utterly incompetent and completely ineffectual.
We disagree with the Berk.
How do the people reflect that opinion in a democracy?
Bercow’s election is a signal to all that the recent threat to kleptocracy was only a phase that has passed.
Have I messed it up again dad?
Who could be better than Mr Bercow as Speaker of the Parliament of Thieves?
Exactly. And we should make sure that the title of “The Parliament of Thieves” sticks for this parliament and for gordon.
The next Parliament needs to be The Parliament of Renewal and hopefully they need to also dump this rubbish short-arsed speaker for someone more principled.
MP’s can’t afford to fail us again after the next General Eelection…………………
I was at Essex Uni with Bercow. He was an oily, sycophantic, two-faced creep who always seemed to have a crush on someone or other (invariably a male) He was unpopular and didn’t seem to have any close friends, certainly no girlfriends. I always assumed he was a celibate gay and was surprised to hear he got married to a woman.
Yep, those certainly are the qualifications needed to become Speaker of the HoC.
Seems to fit the MP job description pretty well, then.
I remember the purulent discharges that exuded from the eruptions on his face.
Leprosy? That’s what it looks like.
Is Bercow human or is he a gargoyle that came mysteriously to life and climbed down from the church tower?
Golem
I never forget a purulent discharge.
I think it’s safe to say everyone who isn’t self-declared gay is a closet homosexual.
Them’s the rules of the house Mr.
Iain Dale on BBC. Reckons Bercow is too much of a reformer – “needs to rule Parliament with an iron rod” (fnarr) and tone-down his ideas for making MPs more accountable to voters and clamping-down on corruption, concentrate on making the executive accountable to MPs.
Iain Dale is clearly a complete fuckwit who has fallen for all of Bercow’s bullshit.
It’s clear now why Dale never managed to become a Tory MP. He barely cuts it as a paper reviewer on late-night BBC News 24 with Yasmin Alibaba-Brownarse
Iain who?
Dale is a cretin. He still thinks Nadine Dorries isn’t a greedy, puddled, egotistical loonie tune.
And he sounds like Simon Fanshawe which is really grating.

That will be one Con. too far me thinks.

And he said while the House of Commons had to reform, he believed most MPs were “upright, decent, honourable people” who had not come into politics to “feather their nests” but for public service.
What happens if he loses his seat? No, seriously, not in a nudge-nudge way.
I am sure Peter will always know where his seat is if he loses it.
Well ‘feathering their nest’ might not have been their intention when entering politics but they do all seem to go ‘bush’ fairly shortly after arriving doncha think.
I mean i do find it difficult to think that the likes of committed commies like Straw and Darling (the invisible man) and Charles ‘wolfie’ Clarke when they were sitting around at university in their ‘digs’ were giving it ‘Yeah man, and come the revolution we will imprison people without charge for 90 days – yeah man – and we’ll do away with double jeopardy – yeah man – and we’ll double the lowest rate of income tax on the poorest people….’
What, the fuck, gets into people’s heads? At what point do Labour MPs totally lose their principles? When they see their first pay-cheque? When they realise they can quite literally do whatever the fuck they like?
Yes.
Lord Fondlebum shows his power yet again.
Britain will not be safe until this fucking gangster joins his Russian mafia pals somewhere east of political oblivion.

Will the wee fella be given some cushions for his chair.
I wonder how many times he has sat in that chair when no one was looking?
What about a whoopy cushion?
So Cameron will have a Cameroonie Speaker. A PM’s pet in the Speaker’s Chair. Plus ca change…
I can’t imagine anyone wanting Bercow as a pet. Except perhaps Sally!
Come on children. Stop it!! Bercow is the worst of all worlds.
What he isn’t – is the means to rebuild public trust in Parliament.
He’s a lower form of life than the amoeba.
Gordon knows it and doesn’t care because he thinks he can use him to hold onto to his fragile power base. Cameron hopes he can replace him at the next GE. And the MP’s have been seduced by his promises of getting them a salary of £100,000pa.
He has seduced himself with the knowledge that regardless of how little time he spends in the post he will get a gold plated pension of 50% of his £144,000 salary for the rest of his life.
You thick twat. Bercow is one of Brown’s stooges. Cameron hate’s the little creep’s guts.
You’re as braindead as the Labour MPs Cameron conned into voting for Bercow.
A Labour MP was having a piss in one of the Commons “chambers” when he told Call me Dave (who was also there) that he had voted for a Conservative for the first time in his life. (Bercow)
Call me Dave’s reply ? “Bercow doesn’t count as a Conservative.”
But please keep desperately trying to Spin this as it was blindingly obvious from the Conservative Benches reaction and the replies here that Bercow is anything but a Cameroonian or who the Conservatives wanted.
So I’d leave the “braindead” taunts for when you weren’t in a glass house.
Bercow may seem ideologically close to Cameron, but the difference is that Bercow genuinely believes in a libertarian agenda, whereas Cameron is just trying to get elected. Once he is in power, Cameron won’t hesitate to swing in an authoritarian direction, and I can’t see Bercow being willing to help him steamroller Parliament with even greater restrictions on abortion, a u-turn on ID cards or 42 days, or whatever other Thatcherite smack-of-firm-government shit Cameron plumps for.
When Parliament meets after the next general election, Cameron will make it clear to Bercow he wants him to go, buy him off with some presitiguous sinecure (EU commissioner perhaps), and install someone who a partisan Tory who can be relied upon to railroad Parliament.
I hope so, otherwise he will not be getting my vote. I have had enough of this bloody liberal agenda!!
That’s not much use in a threesome with Gay Gordon and Lord Mandybum.
I cannot think of a Parliament that has treated its electorate with such contempt.

That was after he got over his crush on Harvey Proctor and gave up homosexuality.
only teason Lembit managed to pull that particular pussy is because the Russian Army were off on exercise and she was bored!
His election seemed to be welcomed by everyone except the Tories, so expect this to be the pattern for the year….
Bercow is more a loyal Labour MP than most Labour whips, he’s more tainted by the expenses scandal than most others too. Not the choice required to prove much things in the Gentlemans Club had changed.
Disappointing.
By gum, they’re posting well tonight, Guido! And that many threads it’s difficult to keep up. Great for the stats, though.
Not wanting to poke nose in, but when the advertising revenue rolls in, keep up the Brownie Point count with Mrs Fawkes and get her a new frock – then she’ll let you keep playing and so can we!
Thanks, Guido!
I listened to the speeches while at work. Most of them pandered to the vanity of MPs, ludicrously paiting them as poor slighted victims of a wretched expenses system. It was only interesting in as much as you got to hear how they view themselves. It proved they are as deluded as they are corrupt. Only by choosing Anne Widdecombe could they have saved themselved a modicum of credibility. Another Labour fix. They are now beyond redemption.
Widdy promised to restore their integrity. Beckett wanted to help them keep on troughing. Bercow promised them £100,000pa – what do you expect?
HoC got what they wanted all along. It was a put up job.
“Only by choosing Anne Widdecombe could they have saved themselved a modicum of credibility.”
That speaks volumes about just how terrible the situation is.
At least the taxi service should improve.
The man’s a crook. He was one of the worst Tories in the expenses scandal. Kept swapping which house he designated as his second home to maximise profit, then sold two houses and told the Revenue they were both his main home. An ordinary person would probably go to prison for that.
They still don’t get it, do they? They are either completely stupid (quite possible), or so contemptuous of the public that they don’t give a shit how it’s perceived outside Westminster (highly likely). Or both.
Someone said it was like the inmates of a prison voting for which warder they want. They’re not going to choose an incorruptible one are they?
Let’s hope he’s the first speaker to be arrested for fraud.
Looking on the bright side, Labour were stupid enough to vote for Bercow en masse. The Tories didn’t even though Bercow is a Tory MP. So when stories surface pointing out what a bent sleazy git Bercow is, as they will, it is Labour who will suffer the public backlash. All we need now is for UKIP to stand against him in his constituency next election. Could be fun!
Silly Hoons!
I think one reason the Labour MPs voted for Bercow is because he is so compromised. His expenses are going to be taken apart line by line now and Labour will say – ohh look at that Tory’s expenses (and we didn’t vote for him, oh no). I guess that is why they didn’t vote for horseface – her expenses would have been exposed in detail and she is Labour through and through.
Alan Duncan on Sky News avoiding the question as to whether Bercow would have Tory support if they win the next GE…
The reality is they think its all over. Now they are moving to “reform”,which means “We won’t do it again”. Proper remuneration,on a par with captains of industry,and and a straightforward 20+k a year for property speculating.
Even if an election was called, how many of them would be returned? Most of them i would suggest. Even Blears could well be re-elected, because lets face it, most voters are pretty loyal. In most elections, its the 100+ marginals that swing it, and those small numbers of floating voters, are the ones that change governments. Labour, even at their lowest ebb, will still return 150+ MPs.
Bercow is the perfect choice for chief spiv. Expect him on strictly come dancing next year.
Yea – he can partner Lord Fondlebum who has also got Strictly in mind…
Having put him there what will Mandy and Gordo be expecting in return?
Rosebud.
labour and libs voted for bercow tories voted for younger
still a divided pig sty
Just a Pig Sty.
Apologies to real pigs.
Call me Dave is going to have to pull the rug from under this greasy little shit as soon as he gets in. His posturing and jockeying for the post demonstrates his unsuitability, if CMD is serious, he must unseat this pillock on day one.
He won’t.
Gordon and Peter have failed to deliver for Margaret .
She will be more than a bit miffed .
Hopefully she knows the details of the source of finance used by Mandleson to buy his London house .
It would be a delicious irony if a failed conspiracy resulted in solving a massive financiial mystery.
One wayor the other we must get to the truth of how a practically penniless Mandleson could afford a house costing £2,400,000 .
fraud + UK Gravy train + EU gravy train + UK Gravy train (again) = big house AND big pension
quite
It’s a modern house made entirely from aluminium.
The oldest rent boy in the world?
Kinnock lent him the dosh!
I am really disappointed that the Commons didn’t select someone who is credible. I considered Mr Bercow’s speech to be flippant and his glee in having been tipped the wink Labour were behind him was too nauseous to stomach.
Why does he think Yoof is the answer? Inexperienced, arrogant and detached from reality, Bercow epitomises everything that is wrong with MPs today. Cock sure they know they are right, with a self belief that would make Ronaldo blush and a track record which exposes their hypocrasy, incoherance and general cluelessness.
For Mr Bercow it is another gravy train appointment, another pension he doesn’t need and another load of spin the voters will have to swallow, as he disappoints us all yet again. No major changes, nothing startling to suggest he has anything sincere to offer, just another jack the lad on the make at the expense of the tax payer.
What a wasted opportunity and now we have a Speaker that truly reflects the disgusting creatures inhabiting the House of Commons, they are welcome to him, what a shower they all are.

A truly great posting. I agree with you. Thank you
Sums up my feelings very neatly. Eloquently written.
Well said
Take a look at Bercow’s expenses since 2005. He’s regularly the biggest expense trougher out of all the hundreds of MPs.
they just don’t get it
You’re pulling my plonker, right? I mean, if what you say is correct, it’s beyond parody. Voting for a King trougher to clean up Parliament won’t go down well with the electorate. The Labour MPs who voted for his must be smoking some dodgy gear if they knew that.
So we have a new speaker.
Reform: (not necessarily the Speakers reforms and in no particular order)
1.Expenses
This is Easy, The HoP is no longer the Supreme Court. All MP’s to become self employed on fixed term contracts. All expenses to be published on-line and subject to Inland Revenue scrutiny like the rest of us.
2. Too Many MP’s – The Answer to the West Lothian Question.
All Scottish,N.Irish & Welsh MPs to be made to sit in their own assemblies not in London. On matters of national importance a simultaneous vote is made in all four houses with a pro-rata (proportional) formula being applied according to the seats in each province (59 Scotland 40 Wales & 18 N.Ireland). This would reduce the HoC by 117 seats and solve the problem of non English MP’s voting on purely English matters. Also save a fortune on expenses and slim down the House to manageable proportions
3.House of Lords.
Elected House, proportional representation.
4.Westminster
Move the whole shooting match to a modern facility in London, Westminster will become one of THE tourist attractions……
5. Europe & the EC
We regain the sovereignty of Parliament.
6.Human Rights legislation.
Scrapped in its present form and rewritten
7.Immigration
Points system. limited to no net overall increase over emigration.
8. Utilities and transport
Personally I’m against nationalisation but infrastructure should not be for shareholders benefit
9. Government & Local Council contracts
Purchasing should be biased to UK based manufacturers
10 Benefits
A system that encourages success not reward failure.
General Election NOW
Sky news says that bercow is the first jewish speaker. Is there anybody English left in England, looking at the parliament it would appear that you are the least represented people in your own country. The normans have been effin you over since 1066, your royal family is German. you realy should get a grip !!!!!!!!
And we love it!! Tolerence should never be seen as a sign of weakness. We live in a live and let live society unlike a lot of the rest of the World. The Meek will inherit the Earth, The Strong Meek!!!
Let’s nail this canard once and for all. I think that the idea that the Royal Family are German stems from the accession of George I, who couldn’t speak English.
First of all, this was 300 years ago. Anyone who calls a second-generation Pakistani anything other than ‘British’ is considered a racist, so how can a family that started here 300 years ago not be British?
Secondly, George I was Queen Anne’s closest living Protestant relative, through his grandmother Princess Elizabeth Stuart (daughter of James I).
Thirdly, where the hell do you think Anglo-Saxons came from? The Moon?
I do agree with your point about the Normans though. Bastards!
CWR;
WHEN ARE YOU STANDING, YOU HAVE MY VOTE!
So is this Bercow dude Speaker until the next general election or beyond?
Also, is it me or has he got a face you just wanna punch?
Beat me to it. It’s beyond smug.
He won’t be speaker after the election if he loses his seat. By convention, the major parties don’t challenge the speaker, but maybe some of the new kids on the block will? Perm any number from Respect, BMP, UKIP, Independent etc.
disgusted to watch the House of Commons clapping – the place really in decay- the new Speaker looks like a vulgarian and show off too. Young …..or Shepherd or Mrs Widdicombe….. would have been much better.
Mani Sporche
UK MPs have f**ked up and voted in someone worst than the last tosser.
Just what are these MPs smoking?
Judging by the electricity claims of some MPs : Cannabis!
Yes – I was reading about this. You find a dodgy MP with a second home and you rent it off him at above market rates. You install plastic sheeting and bright lights and get a load of manure moved in. Then you grow high quality skunk and sell it at a profit. The electricity bill goes through the roof, but your MP can claim that back on expenses and you give him some of the best weed to smoke and then he votes for a corrupt greaser to become the Commons Speaker. Geddit?
i can only imagine charles hardwidge must have the wires on the testicles and going like the clappers , we shall have to wait and see , might not be labour smiles for too long 53 mps have just given the speakership to a man who openly touted a pay rise to 100k ???
bet mandelson is first in the que.
colleges unbuilt , dairy farmers getting stuffed , ruin still pm .
oliver cromwell party one day , this lot dont seem to want to do the right thing
Yeah. But what Bercow doesn’t realise (but Cameron does) is that Labour will be gratefully accepting all this extra loot while expressing faux concern about it all being a TORY speaker’s big idea.
He made us do it!! Look what the Tories made us do!! We awarded ourselves a payrise but Bercow, the Tory, made us do it. It’s all the Tories fault.
Vote Labour!
As hyper inflation kicks in then that won’t be a lot!!!

Did Margaret Moran vote? Did Elliot Morley vote? Did Hazel Blears?
And if so, who did they vote for?
Please God, let it be Bercow and grant us the means of finding out.
Alas it was a secret ballot.
We are in a terrible situation. As much as i hate him, i’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that a vote for Dick Sniffin is the only way i can bring the whole rotten system down.
Actually it’s quite amazing – Michael Martin was forced from office because he was perceived to be troughing and also doing nothing to bring this ‘Thieving Parliament ‘ to heel.
Now members have elected Bercow who is promising to pay them even more !!!! £100,000 pa – ‘ heeding the call of public service ‘ as he chose to put it.
I can’t believe they elected that wanker – Clearly they don’t give a shit what us plebs think
I repeat they don’t.
Politicians believe they are better than us. They promise us referenda when they want our votes then give us a two-fingered salute once elected. We want our referendum, Mandelson. They also claim whatever they can on expenses while taxing us to oblivion. Of course, they themselves don’t even have to pay these high taxes. They even have subsidised bars in the commons – which must go if they are to put up taxes again after the election. MPs must pay their fair share.
Rotten to the core, all 646 of them. I’m glad there will be a shake up at the general election. There needs to be a complete change.
MP’s, what first attracted you to a prospective Speaker who promised you 100K pa?
John Bercow reminds me of…

Terrible strategy from Cameron and the Conservatives putting all their eggs in an old etonian establishment basket.
If you are the minority you need to grab votes from the other side with your chosen Speaker.
Young was never going to do that with his background but call me Dave still decided to rally as many of his troops as he could behind him.

Read Lobbydogs blog. It’s all there.
You can see the Tory backbenchers from about 2.00 not clapping, unlike Labour backbenchers.
At last a decent MP gets a top job.
Bercow is the only MP to ask questions about the BILDERBERG GROUP.
We should all be concerned that top businessmen, world leaders, and celebrities annually meeting in secret.
And how fortunate we were to have this paragon of virtue delivered to us by …. secret ballot.
That’s because the twat has never been invited.
And never will be!
Lord Fondlesthebumsof of Boys went for V Young
He loves Young. Boy, ain’t that the truth?
Good old sleazebag Berlusconi has now been rumbled for having various Party’s with the services of Prostitutes employed.
Thank heavens a joke figure like Berlusconi can always be relied on to provide us with amusement and fun in the midst of all this serious Political manouvering.
Would that be the Italians trying to copy the Bullingdon Club or the Piers Gavescon Society?
Well done Mr and Mrs Mills!
Well done Berlu! It must be good to have a red blooded guy who enjoys female company leading your country, instead of the serial parade of misogynists, perverts and arse bandits so beloved of New Labour. Quality totty it was to. One of the gals was being interviewed on telly. Pretty hot! She wasn’t a pro either.
Was there any dirt on Bercow regarding his expenses?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5364847/MPs-expenses-John-Bercow-claims-maximum-allowance-for-540000-flat.html
He also claimed £1200 for having a toilet fixed that had been broken by someone putting a sanitary towel down it.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5364847/MPs-expenses-John-Bercow-claims-maximum-allowance-for-540000-flat.html
Yes, he flipped homes, claimed accountants fees:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/5588377/John-Bercow-claimed-nearly-1000-for-tax-advice-on-MPs-expenses.html
Of course, it’s all ok because he’s paid back the money. Yeah, right. He should take up a new seat in gaol, not parliament.
You couldn’t make it up.
Carry on troughing.
What’s Alan Sugar got to do with it?
I might as well vote for christmas
At least i’ll get a good feed beforehand
Bercow is squeaky clean. Leave him alone.
He claimed for insurance against tax investigations into ACA which isn’t taxed.
He claimed £1200 for drains which were blocked by ST’s. What a prat you are Sally!!!!
He’s paid £40,000 by the Priory Health Group based offshore in the Cayman Islands. What for????
The Bucks Herald say his constituents want to know how much profit he has made on 2nd home sales?? I bet they are going to be really pleased to be robbed of their chance to vote for other parties now that he is guaranteed a free run in the GE.
Oh yes he is just the man Parliament needs to restore their integrity and credibility!!!!
Need to put someone solid up against this trougher – how about Guido?
I don’t think he needs the £100k. He earns that in a week here.
just because the 3 main parties wont contest the seat, doent mean that it can;t be contested by ant one else, like ukip for example. So it will work out even better if the 3 main parties dont stand. it leaves a clear run for other candidates, assuming ofcourse they wont vote for bercow
Time to drop Nigel Farage of UKIP a note I think
nigel.farage@europarl.europa.eu
Oh dear.
Yeah well, the worst of a bad job I suppose.
How’s the survey going, Dack? (Did ask a couple of threads ago, but you’d found something more interesting to do. Taking therapy, perhaps?)
Down the pub. Bercow looks no taller, no more charismatic, no more honourable, no more wittily articulate and no less hoonish from the outside of a couple of pints.
Bercow and Sarah Teather, that’s two pints tabled!!!
That’s a huge FUCK YOU from the government benches.
Why pick a Wanker like Bercow? They are so desperate to save their own skins at the onrushing GE that they think ‘ lets have the worst tory we can find and make him speaker. When he fucks up, they can shout and scream ‘look, this is what the tories are like, vote for us we are so much better.’
Hoons
Goodness gracious, he’s got to be a better speaker (as in talker) than Gorbels Mick. At least he won’t sound like a complete fool to the electorate, although, I’m not sure how good he’s going to look in the fancy dress.
He’ll look like Lord Farquaad from ‘Shrek’. (Mind you, Gorbals looked like Shrek).
Time to re-generate “Gordon to Go petition”, 68000 is not good enough it needs the Daniel touch, a million a day……………
At the moment the daily voting rate is being overtaken by the Shahid must go petition
Bercow =Topol = Fiddler in the Chair
Now ain’t that the truth.
Mr Bercow may well have been dragged to the Speaker’s Chair this evening but Democracy has once again been dragged, kicking and screaming, away from the people of this Country.
Gordon’s gesture says it all.
Interesting question – 599 MP’s were voting – who were the 50 odd who were not present.
Might they have been -
Jacqui – MMoran. KUssher. Hblears- who else???
They were all given compassionate leave so they could visit their
safe deposit boxessick relatives.Gordon wanted Beckett.
Cameron wanted Young.
On that basis a good result all round.
Gordon really wanted Bercow but Beckett if that wasn’t possible. Cameron wanted anyone but Bercow or Beckett.
Result Brown 1 – Cameron 0 .
Consolation – Lose the battle – win the war.
That’s a very beliigerent tone for a lady, dear Nell

He’ll be the crapest speaker since those Alba ones I bought from Currys as a teenager.
Are you sure they weren’t Amstrad?
I had an Amstrad personal cassette recorder in the mid 1980s for saving and loading computer programs. Well, it was for copying games actually. It had a one year guarantee.
It broke regularly and I took it back for repair six times in that year. When it broke for the seventh time it was out of guarantee. In the end I gave up and bought a second-hand Bush clock radio with tape player, and used my soldering iron to ensure it could record from the ear socket. It still works today.
Amstrad. Shit with Sugar on.
Didn’t he make a reference in his ‘thank you, you immoral imbeciles’ speech to a ‘sore member’? Did he mean Cameron?
Carswell just admitted voting for Berko.
Answer this. What the hell was the use of getting rid of Martin and installing a flipping and troughing bastard like Berko.
I thought Carswell was not half bad.
Now I think him plain bonkers at best and prepared to turn a blind eye to gross troughing at worst.
What a fraud. He should go far.
A nutcase.
Unless he needs a bigger salary of course.
You’re not the only one mate. I was gob-smacked when I heard Carswell say he had voted for that slimey troughing piece of shit Bercow in the final cut. I believe he initially opted for Sir Richard whatshisname.
Carswell’s reputation is going to take a bit a hit on this one, and quite rightly so. What’s the point is agitating to get rid of Gorbal’s Mick only to end up with the snake oil salesman Bercow?
never trust a scotcher.
Lets just have an English Parliament now and everything will be okey dokey.
Pact Scotus Englis@freedom.com
To damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conservatives should acknowledge that important parts of our immigration and asylum policies in the 2005 election were wrong. The call for an annual limit on immigration was a mistake.
Given that we have furiously denounced targets, quotas and limits imposed by New Labour in so many other areas, it was bizarre to demand a fixed limit to immigration.
Aside from the cultural benefits of a multiracial society, there is a powerful economic case. Contrary to the apocalyptic warnings that immigration from the new EU member states would damage our economy or social fabric, the new admissions have been a blessing for Britain.
We should call for an end to the growing scandal of arbitrary and unsafe removals of failed asylum-seekers.
From Bercow’s Website
He needs to go and live in Cable St East London and then give his views on Immigration. 6 months as the token white dude sandwiched in between the Banglas and Somalis would give him a fresh outlook!
SO, I like the cut of your jib. Unfettered immigration and multi-culturalism have been an unfettered disaster for the English working class.
Britain is dead. Ve beat you Fokkers!! HAH!!
Bercow claims to be a Former “merchant banker”
Here in the East end where rhyming slang is still popular
I reckon that most of us do indeed consider him to be a total “merchant banker”
And a total fucking Hoon.
We need a Tory answer to Harriet Harman. She has not merely been keen to advance women and ethnic minorities in her party, but positively driven by a determination to make it happen.
Let us give up our atavistic opposition to positive action and accept that it is not merely justified but vital if we are to make serious progress any time soon.
From Bercow’s Website
his constituency party can deselect him and others like ukip can stand against him if he stands as the speaker. Why should any one get a clear run through to parliament. let them select a speaker from each parliaments in take. this must be stopped and is completely undemocratic.
Gonna sleep on it
Don’t think Sir Peter Tapsell will be getting called too much-what’s all that about??
Great result. Bercow was undoubtedly the best man for the job. The Tories won’t be able to unseat him after the next election. If the Tories win a majority of 50 seats it would still only take 10% of them to support Bercow for him to survive assuming the other parties stick with him.
Bercow’s a chancer and a crook. you actually think that;s good for the country?
Bercow supported Ken Clarke for the leadership and campaigned against a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Cameron pisses against the wall (see story on Conhome). Bercow has been brought in as Speaker to piss on Cameron.
He will be an unmitigated whimp. Come Dave the Rave he will revert to type.
I wrote in my blog that the election would tell us a lot about our MP’s. Especially if they were fool enough to elect a creep like Bercow….you want to know how the MP’s feel about the public’s disgust about ‘iffy’ expenses claims? Well they’ve just chosen a person with very iffy expenses to oversee the expenses…
They’ve made the public’s anger worse by choosing Bercow
Oddly enough i think i can only reserve judgement , ian dale has the right mood “bercow public servants” , it will be pretty obvious if speaker Bercow doesnt deliver .
watch for the new gordon brown at PMQs , more himself (you mean hes been acting all this time) , it was nae me it was speaker martin !! it will work for a while , then the lying will resume we must be on re launch 18.
bit of a dreary time ahead i think , not to worry , we have been here before , the ruin has only 340 days to go max and then he go and teach
Can the new Speaker pass the first test, that of having the Prime Minister answer the questions he is asked at midday on Wednesday?
I can’t help but think that if the Tory right hadn’t made such a fuss about Bercow’s candidacy, he wouldn’t have won. What a bunch of idiots.
Bercow was Gordon’s choice from the start (but dont tell Beckett)
The recent picture shown here (http://order-order.com/2009/06/19/friday-caption-contest-bercow-rangers-edition/) of a younger Bercow at a Glasgow Rangers Supporters Club in the late 80s will go down rather well north of the border. This unique combination will no doubt add yet another nail in the coffin of the Act of Union (running out of nails, so more on order from B&Q!)
I don’t trust that Richard Shepherd character – he seems to me like the kind of guy that would sensor your posts if he had a website. Who would want to support somebody like THAT?
Parliament smashed the Old Etonian hold on politics,now destroy Cameron and Osborne,two of the worst upper class twerps if I ever I saw them,
Have you seen many? Did you mix freely with them at Oxford and Cambridge?
To be honest I was only passing through Oxford and Cambridge on the train. And when I said I was ‘reading such-and-such’ at Oxford I was actually reading The Mirror. On the train Passing through.
Hope that clears things up. I wouldn’t wish to mislead anybody like that Draper twat.
Labour voted in Bercow out of spite?
What a set of bastards.
Is it just possible that freed of the constraints of party dogma he might do a decent job? Speaker Martin aside, then my understanding is that most speakers have done an excellent job of being a fair and neutral parliamentarian.
Just as no matter how many Lords Blair appointed once they get into the HoL they did (do), on balance, become a lot less partisan hence tossing out his lunacies on 90 day detention and knocking back the fox-hunting ban repeatedly.
Bercow might surprise us.
Or he might not.
But no matter how left-wing he might be for a Tory he couldn’t possibly be as tribal and partisan and outright fucking bad as ‘you hate me ‘cos I’m working class – sure go right ahead and raid an MP’s offices’ Martin.
Too early for too many words – but Quentin Letts of the Mail says:
“They voted for someone even worse than Gorbals Mick.”
And the Labour backbenchers did it because gordon wanted them to damage the Tories. So much for a HoC independent of the Executive!!
Morning Folks. Time for a cup of tea.
What happens if Bercow loses his seat?
Was that clever and modern of Bercow to do a bad impression, taking the Mickey out of Tapsell to appeal to Labour MP’s?
How many current Labour MPs who voted for Bercow will be in the House after the next election?
Has anybody got firm info on McBride’s employment status yet?
Why did ever popular ex-cabinet minister Jacqui Smith choose not to stand as Speaker? Ideal candidate with all the right credentials (ie out of her depth, lied about her main home, proponent of intrusive government etc)?
Jacqui wants to spend more time with her porn.
Just as I dubbed Michael Martin as Gorbals Mick, henceforth I shall dub John Bercow as Finchley Yid.
Bercow is more like toad of toad hall – what a stitch up. Talk about pass the bucket when he portrayed MPs as being a bit battered and bruised over the Xs. Sorry, but who are the victims of this fraud!
He is a total hand wringing, love the sound of my own voice, pompous little twat. So much for getting rid of the boys own club – Im so disgusted with the lot of them.
Go lizards!
Bercow will have his own agenda. It will make sure that MP’s keep their generous salary. Nothing to do with being fair, it’s preservation they’re after.
I hope an Independent or UKIP stand against him in the next GE – I think they would have a very good chance of bringing him down – especially since the local newspaper in his constituency has been running a campaign against him.
Although I believe he had a big majority at the last election -
Morning, Nell.
I might be wrong, but somewhere in all the activity last night, someone posted that by convention the speaker is returned unopposed at a General Election.
Have just heard on the Toady programme that the recession is deeper than previously admitted.
Beginning to feel that I need more than tea to digest all this, but it’s too early in the morning for that. At least it’s not raining.
Think we’re going to need the ultimate weapon – humour. I’m off to think up some one-liners.
Don’t forget George Osborne, he likes a one liner to kick the day off with.
You’re out early, this morning MB. Mummy kicked you out in disgust, has she?
O/T
Bearing in mind that the EU has yet to get its accounts past the auditors in 14 years, does anyone know what financial “competences” McJonah surrendered to those EU doyens of financial probity & efficiency?
I think the speaker furore/timing was a convenient smokescreen to mask yet another mass handover of power to the the unelected “colleagues” across the Channel.
couldn’t make it up could you?
all of these scoundrels should go.
hopeless, weak, impressionable, arrogant, conceited, power hungry, duplitious, lying, thieving bastards.
Long live the King.
George Osborne was out of control after the announcement of the result. He is so far off the rails it’s actually an acheivement.
“i” before the “e”.
Martin out the door is an achievement.
George Osborne was off his head and going further off.
Madster Baiter, you’re going off on one yourself.
See the poor sod at 06:14:00 on the video linked below. Eventually they had to change the camera to hide him behind Cameron, Geroge Osborne needs an intervention, someone help him.
http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=4283
Mastur old chap, haven’t the slightest idea what you are referring to regarding Osbourne. Perhaps you’re still halucinating from overindulgences of various sorts.
Thanks very much though for the link to the speeches. I managed to find a very good example of oily, self serving, insincere, class-hatred inducing vomitness at 0 hours, 25 mins and 58 seconds. It is in fact the speech of your crass, conniving, careerist creature, Bercow himself. Play it again and convince yourself that this is the speech of a man who will be impartial, sincere, selfless and bring good governance to parliament.
Once again Mastur, you seedy scumbag, you show yourself to be beneath contempt.
Enjoy your delusions.
I know it is a tradition for the newly elected Speaker to be dragged to the chair but I can see why they generally have to be dragged out of it when it is time to leave. Gorbals Mick must have been like a pig in shit with these T&Cs.

So when we get refugee’s from other countries doing the same thing as 200,000 Britons then we can’t complain then,we have major problems in this country so lets do the changes from within and not come back when things have been sorted,which they will,the people WILL win.
MPs hounded Elizabeth Filkin out of office as Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards in 2001, for investigating the affairs of six apparently misbehaving MPs “over-zealously”, in the immortal words of the then Leader of the House, Margaret Beckett. Yesterday, Labour Party whips were reported to be supporting Mrs Beckett’s election as Speaker (Telegraph report, June 22). No surprises there.

I thought double flipping Bercow said he wasn’t going to wear a wig? That hair can’t be real …
Have you seen Bercow’s huge tongue flicking in and out of his mouth as he speaks. He’s like some reptile.
One of David Icke’s lizards?
Now we know what attracted Sally….
Sorry, too early in the morning for that, but I couldn’t resist.
I think he would rather suck dick than lick pussy.
AC/DC?
Neither could Sally!
He’s the right height for it.
Vile, sickening imposture…. Bercow should never have been allowed to stand with the question of his expenses still unresolved.
LET’S APPLY THIS TO THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT….
FROM PLATO’S REPUBLIC….
“We also have to make sure the guardians do not become like sheep dogs that turn into wolves and abuse their power to harm their fellow citizens. Therefore the guardians will have no private property, they will live transparently, they will be provided for out of taxes, and they will live together communally. First, none of them should possess any private property beyond what is wholly necessary. Second, none of them should have a house or storeroom that isn’t open for all to enter at will. Third, whatever sustenance moderate and courageous warrior-athletes require in order to have neither shortfall nor surplus in a given year they’ll receive by taxation on the other citizens as a salary for their guardianship. Fourth, they’ll have common messes and live together like soldiers in a camp. We’ll tell them that they always have gold and silver of a divine sort in their souls as a gift from the gods and so have no further need of human gold. Indeed, we’ll tell them it’s impious for them to defile this divine possession by any admixture of such gold… Hence, for them alone … it is unlawful for them to touch or handle gold or silver… In this way they’d save both themselves and the city. But if they acquire private land, houses, and currency themselves, they’ll be household managers and farmers instead of guardians – hostile masters of the other citizens instead of their allies. They’ll spend their whole lives hating and being hated, plotting and being plotted against, more afraid of internal than external enemies, and they’ll hasten both themselves and the whole city to almost immediate ruin.”
Wednesday’s PMQ will settle the argument.
Will it be a:
“MMM-MM-MMMr speaker, it started in America, do-nothing, hard-working…blah blah”
“Stop waffling and just answer the bloody question Primeminister”
or no “change”?
Hand of History on Bercow’s shoulders – is he up to it?
I will wait.
Hey guys after a long wait we all are having yet another success from the makers of Hotmail.com

How can I tell everyone I ‘met’, moron? By definition, I’m no longer with them.
PS Fuck off.
Believe it or not ,I have seen a few honest Labour politicians apart from Frank Field. It was back in 1964 before the white heat of technology revolution promised by Wilson at the start of his scheme to upgrade technical colleges to university status.
What do these instittutions do to their students that so many of them turn into human scum?
Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.
Nadine Dorres has said this morning that only three Conservatives voted
for him. With respect, Nadine, that isn’t the point. Bercow was caught
red-handed over his second ‘home’ capital gains tax. He’s as tainted as
the rest, and in any other place than the un-world of Parliament would
be facing prison (and repaying some of it isn’t the point either, Mr.
Bercow).
I very much hope he is strongly opposed at the election and beaten at
the ballot box. He doesn’t deserve anyone’s vote, let alone to become
Speaker.
But there’s yet a still more worrying issue: we need to clean up
Parliament, not neuter it. It may seem a small point, but MPs should be
masters of their house, not subject to the civil service. Any removal of
Commons authority, such as telling MPs how they may manage themselves,
takes sovereignty away from the people and puts it in the hands of
shadowy people behind the scenes. Will the new expenses authority be
elected? Will they stand on hustings and subject themselves to scrutiny?
There should be full transparency about the financial affairs of
parliament, most certainly, but not an abrogation of responsibility!
The fix for this mess is to put good men in parliament, for which you
don’t need PR, but attention paid by us the electorate to the CHARACTER
of the individuals we’re asked to vote for. Bercow’s track record is not
that of a reformer but an opportunist, no matter what he’s now claiming.
It’s not his political position that worries me, it’s that expenses
claim, as it reveals what’s really in his heart.
We should be restoring parliament to what it ought to be — the place
where our best people make our laws — not turning it into some sort of
living museum.
Bercow is as suitable for this task as Arthur Daley
