  1. 2 minutes ago, UK Kat Von D said:

    ...I doubt he really cares much either 

    Considering he upped sticks and moved his whole family to Stamford because of his new role, I'd say he cares a bit. It's a very by-the-template press release, no information if he's still employed in another role - if he has gone, no future endeavours..

  2. Looked up Orlando to Tampa on rome2rio. Amtrak have tickets from £10 for an advance single. Or Greyhound run regular coaches for about £15. Definitely an option for those who don't want to hire a car or have other options. 

    Edit to add, it's a 2hr trip on either, due to the wonders of the American rail network

  3. Speaker telling noisy cunt to take a flying flamingo, agrees to do his job as Speaker, rather than the guy behind the order. Add in his earlier announcement of stepping down and the obvious lack of any further fucks he gives, gets ninth circle of Hell side eye from the new Black Rod (who avoided Dennis Skinner who usually makes some remark when the official shows up)

    Opposition members applaud him for showing his colours.

    All this at after 1am on a Monday, was better than Raw.

  4. Yeah, reports say it was in homage to something involving Charles II. I wonder if Bercow will ever get the side eye from Black Rod out of his mind. As expected, the usual lot are claiming it was sexist/classist/ist ist against her and the whole thing was because she is the first Lady Usher.

  5. The best moment was the three clerks desperately telling him he had to go. I don't know the procedure, but I wonder what would have happened had he refused? Would the commishes have carried on without him? Or would ignoring a royal command be treason?

    Also, flying flamingo is my new go to insult.

  6. A rare oxymoron of a decent Cunt. Doubtful he will get the "usual" peerage from either side, but I think he'll be quite happy on the after dinner circuit and non-executive directorships that will come his way. I wonder if he has memoirs in the works too, now free from the trappings of Speaker.

  7. So Bercow standing down when Brexit happens, what do we think of the meme-able Speaker? Personally, I hope Lindsay Hoyle is elected new leader, although it's been a while since the Chairman of Ways and Means has jumped into the big chair.
