Sadly I'm no a musician 1 hour ago, Theo Snelders said: Well I agree with you- I was really annoyed with the expenses scandal and all that entailed. I also don't like an unelected house of Lords. This is about blocking Trump from speaking at Parliment though and I'm happy Bercow has done that. Fair do's but it's nice tae pick and choose. 1 hour ago, Cerberus said: Bercow welcomed the Chinese President before his address to the HoC. Does Bercow know about China's long history of forced sex-selective abortions, human trafficking and unlawful executions? I guess not, as such a righteous man he would have spoken up then as well.

welshbairn Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm concerned about why Willie seems to have such a stauner for the Donald, being as he''s an arch enemy of Alex Salmond. What kind of Nationalist is he? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 That list is old. The Chinese President visited the UK in 2015 and Bercow took to a platform and welcomed him. It can be summed up nicely by Groucho Marx- Quote "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he says, "Yes," you know he is a crook. andTime flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana All I'm going to say is that I'm pretty sure John Bercow is very aware of human rights abuses given the horrendous things his family endured at the hands of the Nazis. It's pretty laughable to suggest he'd not be aware of China's abuses and if memory serves there was disquiet amongst many quarters about that state visit. In entrenched regimes you have to work with them and hope diplomacy helps bring change (aside from war that is). Protest at the very begining of a new one can effect change before it becomes entrenched. That is my opinion for what it's worth.

I'm just picking on him coz he's an influential member of Westminster.
