John Bercow the new speaker a tory not liked by the tories

[britishjohn04]

Terrible speaker, a pipsqueak with a horrible, overbearing wife.

[mcconvilleme]

He's most certainly the worst speaker in my lifetime.

[eddieoxford]

He's a very good speaker and has retained neutrality regardless of his tory past.

Micheal Martin was a cunt. Sir George Young should remain in politics not the speaker.

[keeperofthecheese]

yeah i think he was quite good actually !

[SanSerriffe]

Excellent speaker.

[ogiaag5m]

@SanSerriffe

The best so far, in my opinion.

[sergeantfan]

Fuck the Tories and Lib Dems...that is all.

[whatisitfawlty]

He is a cunt!

[Hkepfer]

Tories yes. Laborites no; Lib Dems maybe.

The current coalition is most impressive.

[Hkepfer]

How does one go from Conservative to Tory?

Aren't the Tories those who were Jacobites?

[jameslove888]

@Hkepfer The Tories and Conservatives are the same party.

[Hkepfer]

@jameslove888 Thank you. My question was in regard to the evolution of the Tory/Conservative party? Did they not come from the Jacobites?

[JuanMacready]

@Hkepfer The Tories were seen as sympathetic to the Jacobites, which is why they remained out of office throughout the reigns of George I and George II.

[Barsider75]

wow sophie raworth!

[TheZanipolo]

Labour stooge

[northnotsouth]

Don't like John Bercow at all, i did prefer Michael Martin.

[UKIndependent]

A Tory not liked by the Tories. What a perfect descrption!

[jbarks10]

John Bercow is such a hypocritical and arrogant man. I wish him a painful death.

[UKIndependent]

Not only is her a hypocrite, but he's a Labour sympathiser!

[PeterFirthFan]

I hope John Bercow gets cancer.

[cwlhandluc]

The plural of 'Tory' is 'Tories' not 'Torys'

[spudule]

you complete pedant xD (although I do agree)

[grahamwebb2000]

@cwlhandluc The plural of Tory is unfortunate for anyone uttering that word.
