'You, Mr Speaker, were on the wrong side of the apartheid argument': Old grievances aired in Mandela debate

The Commons saw old scores being settled alongside heartfelt tributes to the anti-apartheid movement today, as MPs debated the legacy of Nelson Mandela.

Wanted to hang Nelson Mandela. In the 80s-90s he was as extreme right as you could get before getting into the banned parties. Accusations of bullying staff galore.

What a 'kin world we live in

also the expenses

No, the bloodbath will arrive when we have a General Election......

Just so long as the Election comes after the fresh Referendum

But it’s only Remainers giving the hate and spitefulness, us leavers are nice people who enjoy going the pub.......

Haha .... all I see on social media is leavers typing in capital letters as if it means more that way

His interview with Iain Dale today was priceless - to quote the LBC account of it:

Iain Dale is an absolute helmet.

.... then surely he should bring the Withdrawal Bill to the Commons (which is what Letwin et al have said they will vote for).

Instead it seems they are going to try and re-run todays "meaningful vote", even though Bercow will probably rule it out of order anyway and this evenings letter-writing antics will probably drive any further Labour waverers away and cause him to lose that court case in Scotland.

He will do next week I expect. He now knows who will vote for it, the ERG, etc, he’s tested the water today. He’s also testing the EU regarding any extension. It’s been a good day for Boris and one where the U.K. voters will be absolutely turned off by Letwin and Corbyn.......

I presume this must all be a slight of hand trick and while we focus on this, Johnson will reveal the prestige somewhere else. If not we have finally entered the golden age of school ground politics.

the absolute state of this

Bonkers isn't it? I always thought the whole thing was a farce but it truly got weird when people began making a hero out of Bercow, a toad whose view on Europe and forens up until recent history probably put him slightly left of Moseley but slightly right of Farage.

I only see the posts on here tbh, I venture into twitter maybe 3/4 times a year......

Honestly didn’t know that.

I suppose I should be used to this given the back catalogue of most Stormont politicians.

Fantastic BS lol lol lol from Pete tonight.

I’ll just leave this here.

It is past 11 p.m.

Is Mr. Johnson lying dead in a ditch yet?

Or has he sent the letter?

 

[Armaghtoffee]

No I wouldn’t, and I have no problem with it being voted on next week when the lazy barstewards have read it, unlike Corbyn who denounced it before it was even published.....

But you are content to be aligned to the DUPs values and viewpoints as long as they vote how you prefer?

I imagine he’s followed the letter of the law......
