  • I bet it's all part and parcel of Johnson's petty determination to not grant him the peerage he should have

    Johnson needs to think ahead, one day this may come back to bite him

  • Agreed. Apart from the discredit he's bought upon the role of the speaker.

    I don't think he did, he maintained control of a rowdy hung Parliament. You can't criticise him for not allowing those who's view you support to bully him into submission

    In any event it is precedent that the retiring Speaker gets a peerage

  • No, he was a pretentious, smug, nasty piece of works of the highest order. He turned the Commons into The John Bercow Show, rather than the debating chamber that it should be.

    There have been multiple allegations against him even before this latest one and yet he got away scott free.

    So was Micheal Martin, but it didn't stop him getting a peerage. And what about the Welsh bloke who was hand in glove with Charles

  • MP Peter Bone suspended from Commons for bullying
    The vote will almost certainly lead to a by-election in Peter Bone's Wellingborough constituency.

    If the accusations against him are true, it's a shame, because I rather liked him, BUT, all MPs need to keep their hands to themselves.

    I wonder what Mrs Bone thinks? (for those that don't know, Peter Bone always cited his wife in Commons debates)

  • Yep.

    What do people think about the allegations? Does Bone have a right to a trial?

    He's been found guilty by the Commons, but that's not a court of law.

  • IMHO If he thinks he has done nothing wrong and not been dealt with fairly he could ask a Civil Court if he can bring an action against his accusers , but not certain if he can or not.

  • Surrey police have arrested and released on bail a 60+ Yr old Conservative MP for alleged sexual offences.

    It seems there is just something in some Conservative MP's DNA (or should that be trousers...) that makes them this way. We just keep getting these stories year after year, decade after decade.

    I put it down to being imprisoned in boy's boarding schools when they were kids, that would be enough to send anyone loopy.

    Some of these MPs just seem like nothing but wild, uncontrolled animals that are completely unable to keep it in their trousers.

  • I understand the thoughts, but he has done nothing except be accused so far. How about a jilted lover, a person with a grudge or similar.

    The Conservative goose has already been cooked, so it's just another unnecessary distraction.

    Please Sir, I want some more. MORE you greedy little socialist.

  • There is a serious streak of amorality in some conservative MPs which doesn't seem to affect the other parties, so something is wrong somewhere.

    But yes, in reply to CL, point taken. Innocent until proven otherwise.

  • Oddly, notva public school boy. The place of birth seems to indicate the son of a serving soldier of the time. Obviously i have no idea about hisceducation pre uni but military kids attaining high school age if the parents were stationed abroad had to go to boarding school as the military didnt have any high schools. If in UK they went to normal school or possibly private if parents were senior officers or rich.

    Wellington College is a private boarding school, its website appears to be both sexes. Attendance at a boarding school does not indicate homosexual tendencies, his alleged rape could be either sex.

    Please Sir, I want some more. MORE you greedy little socialist.
