Bully Bercow

[vetran]

John Bercow interviewed by Iain Dale last night.

"You are a bit of a nasty piece of work!"

such a slimeball (Bercow I mean, I'm a fan of Iain Dale)

[vetran]

There might be an opening coming up soon for a nasty short-arse in Russia.

Oh NOOOOO! now I have a mental picture of Bercow riding a horse Vlad stylee...

Bullying? FFS, there are too many snowflakes whose precious ego may have been dented.

Like Andrea Leadsom MP?

Like Andrea Leadsom MP?

Yep.

[SueEllen]

Yep.

I heard her on the radio in the morning. She isn't a snowflake as she had no issues speaking up when Bercow was speaker unlike other MPs. She actually challenged him on calling her "stupid woman" then it was televised.

Interesting that Leadsom didn't actually hear Bercow say such a thing and only really kicked up a fuss after the Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May exchange.

In some people's books, getting irate and challenging someone for their behaviour IS being a snowflake. Ziggy ziggy ziggy

Those are the same people that confuse assertion with aggression I suppose? One is acceptable - even necessary in a good leader - the other is absolutely not. Bercow's behaviour was aggressive by all accounts. If you have to raise your voice to make a point, much less lose your temper, you've already lost.

Expecting respect is not the same as being a snowflake.

If you have to raise your voice to make a point, ... you've already lost.

Well that's nonsense.
