Margaret Beckett as Speaker????????
{ 22 comments }
Still she can always live in her caravan, parked in the HoC grounds and save us some money?
to repeat what I said on my blog, if I may Anna:
“So someone who was a failed Leader of the House, Foreign Secretary and Environment Secretary , Leader of the Labour Party, as well as a Housing Minister, could well replace a failed Speaker of the House of Commons.
She obviously wants to keep the sequence going and also get a hat-trick of ‘faileds’!”
I thought it the height of etiquette, that the serving government submitted the job of “speaker” to their major political opponents.
I know for the first time in history, New Labour went against that sentiment in electing Michael Martin, but have these f*****s no humility at all – even now, as to return to genuine traditions?
If she becomes Speaker, you’ll have it straight from the horse’s mouth.
(Did someone else say that? Ah, the bliss that is Alzheimers)
The whole place needs blowing up. Mr Fawkes was definately onto something there.
That woman is so ugly!!! Can you imagine how shrill she will be?
Which will she claim as her second home, the Winibago, Airstream, or horse box?
Margaret Beckett! Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!
Desperate times means desperate measures and this is one desperate measure! Margaret Beckett??? Ha!Ha!Ha!
But …………. Is this screaming skull even allowed out in daylight hours?
And……they’re under Speaker’s Orders……and they’re off.
It reminds me of a Dag Nasty song, ‘Lie Down and Die’. Margaret Beckett?? This takes thick skinned to a new level.
No she can’t get her holidays when “Horse of the Year” show is on. That’s the busiest time of the year.
Gordon takes his “Window Dressing” to new heights!
I am somewhat quelled by the jokes but my anger at the continuing ineptitude and lack of understanding daily demonstrated by our representatives astounds and infuriates me. As Anne Widdecombe announces her candidacy spouting “for the public” and “cleaning up politics” it really makes me bare my teeth to see that, without a shadow of doubt, they don’t get the public frustration, they don’t realise that Hoodies and grannies and everything in between would rip them, all of them, to shreds given half the chance.
Why do they not understand that if you are the one causing the spread of filth you cannot be the one to “clean it up” every time they try they just continue to soil honest politics and accelerate in their rapid decline into despotism.
I cannot bare to watch as they repeatedly miss the point, observing Brown and Cameron yesterday I could not tell them apart- both as vile and confrontational as the other as they act out their performance with wit and glee they further muddy the name and the point of politics in this country. As we parade around the globe with our partner in terror the world better watch out- the democratic hypocrites are coming to destroy your way of life for false ideals and a dedication to a system that we cannot abide ourselves.
Why do they not see that we do not want them to be the ones to undo what should have never been done in the first place, suddenly they all knew the problem and wanted to do something about it so why did it take a scandal before anyone said anything, they are all liars and cheats and charlatans and truly the most vile and contemptuous bunch of cretins to ever hold office.
I wish I could see a light at the end of the tunnel but until the entire parliament is replaced I will not believe a word that comes out of their fatuous faces, goodbye representative government you are like a psychopathic murderer determining their own sentence- without remorse or punishment.
Zak, agreed.
If they are really serious about “cleaning up politics” why don’t they start with the Speaker’s chair?
The Serjeant-At-Arms is an apolitical appointment (or at least it used to be), so why not have a Speaker from outside of the political arena?
No, I haven’t thought through who it should be or how they should be appointed… perhaps Prince Phillip should be installed as Speaker for a while. At least he’d tell Brown to stop speaking through his arse everytime he stands up.
Zak, i completely agree, especially that last paragraph.
It is like a bad dream. The one who should go refuses citing that “I am the one for the job”, well I am all up for having confidence in ones abilities but not to the detriment or indeed the diametric opposition of the electorate. Who the hell thinks he is the man for the job? Not me- not the electorate, not even the majority of his own party. What on earth is going on, we have an unelected buffoon overseeing the downfall of the country and an Etonian twit ready to jump on the green leather. Government is meant to represent the people, who are they representing? It is like the political equivalent of the odd couple except no one is laughing.
As much as I wish I was wrong it feels as if we may as well be screaming these things from the deepest recesses of space for all the likelihood that we will be heard. I don’t think that politicians should spend all their time pandering to, negotiating, and communicating with the public that they are supposed to represent but it would be nice to get some accurate feedback that demonstrates at least a partial understanding of the widespread national doubt in our leaders ability to perform properly from at least one of the expense abusing fraudsters.
I cannot speak for everyone but it seems to me that the only thing stopping us from storming parliament and removing the rotten, festering underbelly of the diseased carcass of democracy from office is that we are too polite and possibly a bit lazy and we just expect them to somehow break the habit of a lifetime and do the right thing and dissolve the government and, indeed, leave the country.
This will not happen as is demonstrated every time one of the villains opens their venom spitting faces and attempts another fictitious explanation of their behaviour and that forced demeanour that tries to portray an innocent victim. They are guilty of cheating the people they are supposed to defend, these demagogic mountebanks who act as irresponsibly and frivolously as third world tyrants; they need to go and leave the tattered remains of a once great nation for its people to rebuild.
Morning Anna
one to get ya going and so very apt to describe our great ‘leader’:

ring any bells???
Superb Blink, good choice, I shall be singing that all day!
She is NOT ugly – I don’t think. She has a lovely voice, and I would like to give it one.
Now Anne Widdecombe’s joined the Beauty Pageant ….
… and is it just me, or does Bob Ainsworth, Secretary of State for Defence, look exactly like Herbert Anchovy? (the Monty Python accountant who wants to be a LION TAMER!) …
