I have watched a few other speakers, in the hopes they were as entertaining... they looked like overwhelmed kindergarten teachers not being able to control the coffeinated kid party whirling around them. This doesn't affect me, but Bercow certainly looks more in control than his predecessors.
I remember one dude in particular, a very gentle elderly person going "order.. o-o-order.. order" in a very timid and friendly don't-want-to-disturb voice.

Ahh, Michael Martin. He was pretty spineless and let the Labour government get away with just about anything.
Bercow may end up staying longer than the summer, partially due to the fact Brexit demands a strong Speaker to get through this mess and partially because there are elements of the Conservative government to deny him life peerage, which is traditionally bestowed upon a retiring Speaker.
His level of confidence and "honey badger don't care" esque attitude is exactly what the House needs. He's truly delivered a sense of neutrality in his proceedings, and the Commons will be worse off when he goes.
Yeah, he needs to take care not to get baited by the publicity, though. At times it feels like he knows exactly what he's doing when he does his antics. It shouldn't be self serving. Well, I would say that if I cared, really... not my parliament, he can do whatever the hell he wants. I'm just here for the entertainment.

Watched a bit of BBC earlier when waking up (YAY nightshift -.-) you had conservatives still using the same shitty rhetoric. "We have to make every vote count!" but they can keep on voting on the same deal till it actually passes but people only get one vote. People still claiming that the EU will grant more time just willy nilly. That talk show episode should simply be called the great denial.
There was perhaps two people who were reasonable, one who claimed that EU reform has to happen from within and just because 'cameron' failed it doesn't mean it is a failed cause.
But hey still no consensus and people still thinking the EU will suddenly change after 3 years. Part of me wonders, is a no deal really the worst alternative? Considering these folks are the ones you elected now going to negotiate with that same EU your trade deal with them. And i can tell you right now you're going to lose billions if not more because they are going to try to appease a small electorate of fishermen (ex) who simply are going to be out of a job in a decade or so anyway because they don't know what the quotas are for except the EU is simply evil :/
ps: to go into more specifics, i'm aware of a model coming to the BMW plant in the netherlands, something that supposedly is made primairly in the UK, a production line has been frozen for adjustments and other adjustments are being made elsewhere. Additional space has been created to create a larger buffer zone for parts from england. Even if the brexit is undone, i got a feeling for the large part the damage is done and the german car builder has grown tiresome off englands political fits.

Ahhhh the UK will crash, I see. Not showing the whole picture though are we? Same survey, same company giving the complete story...

As opposed to the EU which has already crashed.

What do you fancy then dribbles? A Brexit so soft it could be called a Briexit? Or a General Election with the two main parties standing for a soft Brexit or a very soft Brexit? Or last choice, a second referendum that would reject Brexit entirely?
Because those are the choices you have left now. Basically BINO or no Brexit. You can't say I didn't warn you. You've ticked your last tock old bean.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

All the UK and the EU needs, as our Jacob agrees, is a few more sensible German politicians like Alice. I must admit eurochums having just watched this my heart had a little flutter... shame she is only in opposition, for now.

Quoting nazis now, Dribs? Showing your true colours, mein Herr... are you sure you're ready for the backlash?

Some of us still remember earlier in this thread dribbles. When your mask of the jovial Brexiteer slipped and we got a glimpse of what felt like a very genuine fascist that lurks behind it. We also remember just how angry you got when you were called out on it, almost as if you were upset with yourself for letting us see what you really stood for.
At least you had some degree of shame at that point. Now you blatantly link far right videos as being a good thing. Has the ongoing failure of your Brexit dream brought you this low? Such a pity.

And "mainstream" is never, under no definition, anything that has just 12% of the votes. They are a fringe party that was subversed by nazis. And his support for them speaks volumes.
