Hat tip to ConHome for pointing the world to Bloomberg where this gem from Mr Speaker Berk turns up:
I confess for somebody who’s historically and perhaps even legendarily independent-minded that [leaving the Conservative Party] is frankly something of a relief.
The horrible little clamberer-upper (on to a Chair far too big for him which he'll doubtless have cut down to his size - because he can, you know. He has The Power!) actually speaks of himself as a legend.
Unbelievable.
And he expects his overwhelmingly Conservative-leaning constituents to vote him in unopposed after telling them that he is relieved to quit the party under whose colours he accepted their votes for several years? That he was a fake all along? That he was just using them?
Has success completely addled what passes for Mr Speaker Berk's brain? Does the House really want a prat who blithely and unthinkingly (one assumes) insults his own constituents telling government ministers and their shadows in HM Opposition what they can and can't do?
What a very stupid little bastard this Berk is.
He'll be out of that Chair come the next election!!
ReplyDeleteAs Heffer said, he's Labour's final insult to the electorate. Who could disagree with that?
ReplyDeleteCato's right, in my 'umble.
Nasty little toerag, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteI am a resident in Mr Speaker Bercow's constituency. In my view he has a number of problems:
ReplyDelete1. His slither to the left. He was awarded this seat to follow on from a traditional Conservative. Instead he turned out to be a greasy pole climber, and lots of the grease has stuck to him. Locally I suspect that it would have been a great relief if he had actually crossed the floor, then we could have chosen a Conservative again.
2. He is self aware to the exclusion of all else. Write to him about an important political matter, and you get back a slimy letter saying why he doesn't support you, and copies of a few of his recent speeches.
3. And now he expects to be returned unopposed? No chance, even if I have to do it myself. Ideally of course, what we really need is a unified "Anyone But Bercow" candidate.
