It hasn’t been the best of periods for Commons Speaker, John Bercow, who now finds himself embroiled in a row of what he might or might not have said about Andrea Leadsom. This follows the bullying allegations that have been aired a lot recently.

Monarchism is essentially a form of Socialism! "What are you on about, Sunil?" I hear you cry!
Well, consider:
1) Monarchs have a job for life, which is quintessentially Socialist!
2) The hereditary principle, a feature of Socialist dynasties around the world, such as the Kennedys in the USA, Nehru-Gandhis in India, and the Kims in North Korea!
3) Pomp and circumstance - Trooping the Colour is after all merely a toned down version of all those North Korean and (former) Soviet military parades!
So, my fellow PBers, I put it to you that Monarchism = Socialism!
In this modern day a leading public figure can't hide from transparency and fact Bercow is attempting to stop himself being investigated may well be what does for him in the end.
Actually as soon as the allegations emerged on Newsnight he should have referred himself for investigation by the Commons authorities....
If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear etc.

He's there for the rest of this parliament, and probably beyond, then ?
“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”
I think he is being appointed because the rumours of the new manager only having a £50million war chest this summer.
That's absurd and offensive.
Do you think freedom should only be celebrated by slaves and George Michael?
This arrived 6 minutes after the email saying hard luck you didn't win, but thanks for standing.
I would tend to agree with @MorrisDancer about the word mansplaining. Not only is it a contrived neologism, I don't know why we need yet another gendered term.
This is not to undermine in any way Garden's point about HYUFD's knowledge of west London geography, which remains laughable.
That’s all the freedom we need.
I wasn't sure having more than nine drams would mix very well with those "little blue pills"
Enough to give some PBers a right old fit of the vapours ..
Its my dislike of the EU being not democratic. In my eyes it is too socialist and not libertarian enough for me. We may not elect governments as right wing liberal as I like in the UK but at least in the UK I can vote for it whereas in the EU democracy is moot to continuing to project.
Well, consider:
1) Black is an extreme form of grey; so is White!
2) Black and White a both signifiers of plain truth, as in "it's there in black and white"!
3) Black is often used as a surname; so is White!
So, my fellow PBers, I put it to you that Black = White!
Miss Anazina, interesting to hear it's a rare area of agreement between us.

I suggest Williamson (Derby).
I suspect we would agree on many things, we just haven't encountered many yet!
Well you know Labour like to have all their bases covered.
The predominance of politics, F1, and the Second Punic War as discussion topics does mean that disagreements there are noticed, whereas potential agreement on other things go either unnoticed entirely or more lightly remarked upon.

(Or NATO for that matter. Who'd get first dibs on invoking Article 5?).
Are you mansplaining mansplaining?

With City, United, and Liverpool with a £142 million plus to burn standing still won't be an option, especially with such a narrow transfer window.
Crouch
Such joy.
I believe max fac involves a new and untried government IT system. Therefore it will cost gazillions, take at least twice as long as planned to develop and ultimately be abandoned as unworkable.
Bollocks to Bercow
TIIIIIMBER!!!!
Britain does not have the Freedom to:
* Curtail EU migrants
* Make its own trade deals
* Remove VAT from sanitary products
* Allow theatres to retain their existing low-efficiency lighting
The list goes on.
And we were told that didn't matter as this was all voluntary by being part of the EU club. Until that is we actually try to leave, then it turns out everything will made as awkward/impossible as possible so we cannot leave.
