If we must, I mean, really, really must, have a Bercow in the headlines could we not bring back Sally into the limelight. She is infinitely better-looking and does it all so much better than that utter twit of a husband of hers and in doing so she usually manages to flash a bit of inner thigh which is quite exciting for old geezers like me!
Frankly, Bercow himself has passed from being a national joke to being an embarrassing national prat of the first order. His outburst yesterday on the subject of President Trump's forthcoming visit was infantile. I can't help wondering whether his bad-temper stemmed originally from some recent but yet-to-be-reported naughtiness by his wife, or whether he was worried about what might transpire should Sally meet Donald?
Whatever, it is long past time that parliament should rid itself of this pompous, insufferable poltroon and choose a new Speaker of the House. Brendan O'Neill at The Coffee House spells out the rank hypocrisy of the man who complains about Trump's 'racism' and 'anti-feminism'.
Bercow, you see, this supposed hero of the refugees and Middle Eastern migrants temporarily banned from the US, voted for the bombing of Iraq. He green-lighted that horror that did so much to propel the Middle East into the pit of sorrow and savagery it currently finds itself. As his profile on the They Work For You website puts it, ‘John Bercow consistently voted for the Iraq War’. On 18 March 2003, he voted against a motion saying the case for war hadn’t been made, even though it hadn’t. On the same day he voted for the government to ‘use all means necessary’ to ensure the destruction of Iraq’s WMD.
[...]
Bercow was one of the authors of this calamity, one of the signatories to the Middle East’s death warrant, and now we’re going to let him posture and preen against Trump’s three-month ban on certain Middle Eastern migrants?
Is there a factory somewhere that takes in noxious waste, re-processes it and then churns out MPs like Bercow? If so, we should bomb it!
David, no doubt those two ladies are exited about arriving at your house!

"She is infinitely better-looking and does it all so much better than that utter twit of a husband of hers and in doing so she usually manages to flash a bit of inner thigh which is quite exciting"
You can't really judge between them unless you've seen a bit of his inner thigh. Be fair.
I'm probably partly to blame for the Bercow phenomenon. He did the same degree in the same Uni department as me, about seven years later. He obviously saw me as some kind of role-model that he could copy, but, alas, he has fallen by the wayside while I made something of myself.

Whitewall, we are the silent majority and always prevail. Decent hard working people do not take to the streets and trash businesses and people of good will.

To me they both look awful and I rather fancy they deserve each other. Neither of them would pass muster in my locale - we are a pretty classy bunch and these people are riff-raff.

Does anyone remember Rik Mayall's character, Tory MP Alan Beresford B'Stard in the satirical comedy The New Statesman? Bercow's resemblance to him is startling. Enjoy and judge for yourself!

Not sure about "infinitely" better looking but worth a squirt, I suppose; unlike her loathsome husband who IS just a little squit.

I doubt that even after a long time at sea and on the first run ashore the Lower Deck would take on Sally.
Duffers the book is very good. Glad I decided to be a sailor. Jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes sounds positively dangerous.
