Don’t know much about Bercow but i think the reason the tories don’t like him is that he is a tad bi-partisan, which I reckon is a good quality in a speaker. Best of luck to him.
lol at the tennis girl thing, wasn’t she the new Sharapova yesterday?
How to regain your libido? Stop reading the mail perhaps.
My yellow parasol got washed away at Blackpool beach, and to stop me crying my mum told me it would float to Ireland for another little girl to play with. Perhaps the same thing happened to your libido.
I kept mishearing this guys name as John Virgo on the radio. If there was ever a more apt discription of parliment as ‘lets release the big money balls’!
Surely an up-skirt photograph of a minor is child pornography.
I suggest the Mail forgets wheelie bins and starts a campaign against pervy pictures on the front pages of appalling rags.
lol ken, that reminds me of one of the red-tops (not sure which) which apparently ran a “countdown ’til she’s legal” on certain underage celebs such as charlotte church a few years ago. if it’s true then it’s appalling hypocrisy coming from the papers that bang on about paedophiles.
oh yeah, how can a change in diet tame autism? it might tame other disorders like hyperactivity, which you could have on top of autism, but it doesn’t affect the autism itself, surely?
Too bad for the Daily Mail. They were so incensed that a former sheet metal worker from Glasgow was speaker, the least they could expect was an Old etonian to redress the balance. Now they’ve got a liberal who’s changed his mind about his former right-wing views. And there’s nothing they can do about it because he is a Tory.
I notice several thicko posters on that story are holding up the Black Police Association as a comparable model. The BPA is presumably exempt from the Race Relations Act for the same reason Griffin reckons his party is: that it represents a group needing special protection (Griffin apparently puts the “White English” into this category). And of course, the BPA have never advocated deporting large sections of the British population for looking funny.
Futhermore, Antigherkin, one cannot compare the BNP to the BPA as the BNP is a political party. Is it right for a party that could one day form a national government to stop people from ethnic minorities joining its ranks? Of course not.
If doctors aren’t telling people about certain treatments for cancer it is probable that they don’t work. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to dicover them in books like ‘1000 Uses For Vinegar’. Happy hunting.
@ Hel, IIRC the ‘Charlotte Church countdown’ was actually a joke website and one of Murdoch’s rags only did a ‘ban this sick filth now’ piece on it after it had been doing the email and message board circuit (popbitch, B3TA etc.) for a few weeks.
“Oh yeah, how can a change in diet tame autism? it might tame other disorders like hyperactivity, which you could have on top of autism, but it doesn’t affect the autism itself, surely?”
- Of course it doesn’t. But a lot of parents of autistic children (may get a grilling for this but in my professional experience many of whom are pretty noticeably eccentric themselves) will often try anything out of desperation.
But then like cancer, villainous foreigners, etc. it sells papers to print the legend rather than the truth to paraphrase John Ford.
In my opinion the Black Police Association have never done a great deal to help matters or those they claim to represent but I don’t think you can compare them to the genuinely unpleasant specimens running the BNP (I say running rather then following on purpose- a lot of their supporters have ignorance as an excuse but th edecuated ringleaders do not).
The Mail needs to know that there will never be ‘a cure for cancer’ since because all cancers are different, a single drug will not work on them all. But that wouldn’t fit neatly into one of those little boxes at the top of the page would it?
Bercow’s expenses were hardly earth shattering to be honest, he claimed for an accountant. Oh…. Hardly a duck pond or as I recently found out a servant’s quarters.
It’s not possible to “tame” autism – which is a neurological condition rooted in brain structure. Presumably they mean the diet tames certain visible symptoms of autism or behaviours linked to these, e.g. affects sensory overload and resulting tantrums. And, strange that they are now taking a position that psychological conditions can be “tamed”, given that their usual line is that “mad”=”evil” and someone once deemed disruptive or dangerous is never “safe” again.
It was the Sunday/Daily Spurt that used to do the “countdown to her 16 birthday to see her topless/finally be legal” crap, notably with Lindsey Dawn McKensie. However, the Sun and others used to feature 16 and 17 year old topless regularly, back in the day.
Compare the same story on the MP with the one in the Independent.
Guess the DM haven’t realized that we want facts and not their own fucking opinion in very fucking story.
The Dailly Mail, Cameron, Osborne have hated Bercow for about 10 years – on the basis that he’s an independent, almost left wing thinker, who doesn’t tow the party line all the time.
If you actually look at Bercows expense claims, they are actually better than both Cameron and Osbornes.
Ha ha.
The tory Baron got beaten & they don’t like it.
Very funny.
I’m not a fan of Bercow’s past but lately he has been much improved.
Hopefully he sweeps away a load of the old nonsense whilst he’s at it.

Cheek of the MPs! Don’t they realise that it’s up to the gutter press to choose the Speaker?
Mock outrage? Check
Pithy headline that has little in common with the story? Check
Quack science? Check
Underage upskirt pic? Check
Another outstanding day for journalism at the DM!
A kick in the balls then for the Mail favourite Widdy.
It’ll be interesting to see how he handles future questions and debates about Israeli massacres and illegal settlement building.
My libido got blown away at Blackpool beach. I cried for days

Nadine Dorries doesn’t like him so he must be good.
Off topic: shameless plug of new short film here:

Doctors are hiding a cure for cancer? End the NHS now!!!
Did that woman who stopped her con’s autism stop feeding him MMR vaccine, I wonder?
As to Bercow, it’s great the righteous indignation that the old toff didn’t get it.
On an unrelated matter, the forum appears to be, shall we say, not working?
I kept mishearing this guys name as John Virgo on the radio. If there was ever a more apt discription of parliment as ‘lets release the big money balls’!

I wonder why they think doctors dont tell “us” about them. Maybe coz there a bit shit.
Sexually frustrated Daily Mail readers? Surely not!
Mail are bloody obsessed with autism! Surely the strict diet will count for nothing if this Stalinist government kills every child with MMR!!!
“There’s Always Next Year, Laura”….
….AND THEN YOU’LL BE LEGAL SNURFLE SNURFLE AAAG GASP GASP GUSSSSSSSSHHHHHH
Though granted, that might remove a lot of her appeal for all of those middle-aged, upper-middle-class sad dads out there in Mail Reader Land.

Scrounging Slovakian comes over to this once great country to beat hardworking British girl Laura and take OUR TENNIS HOPE’S TITLE

In fact, the BPA will admit anyone regardless of skin colour – it says so on their website
