John Bercow, He's Slightly Toffee Nosed

[piggynose]

Do you agree?

[Baldric]

News ???

[ichkeria]

You obviously have a thing about noses :-)

[andy-hughes]

That's an observation pn - but if you want a debate, you are going to need to back it up a little - with some facts maybe?

[anotheoldgit]

Not one piece of him can be described as 'sweet'.

[Jackdaw33]

He only got the job because labour put him there, and that just to pee off the Tories.

[AB Editor]

Nonsense Jackdaw, he was kept on after the initial labour appointment because he's well regarded as a suitable and fair speaker.

Also, who would want the job? :)

[Stargazer]

He suffers from small man syndrome IMO!

[youngmafbog]

He is a pompous self righteous *** that loves wasting tax payers brass to fullfil his own vanity.

But I wouldnt have his job.

[piggynose]

Not a big fan of pretentious people,why must he talk as if he's got a plum in his mouth?

[youngmafbog]

My daughters talk a 'bit posh' as my London born wife puts it. But at 12 big ones a year (some 7 years ago) I would hope they would. I dont think you can knock someone for their accent, their attitude yes.

[bednobs]

Hi have to agree with ymb. There are plenty of posh sounding politicians, in fact probably more of them sound posh than not. Look at Jacob reese mogg

[anneasquith]

Isn't it strange how so many people dislike bercow now, he appeared to do his job efficiently enough.?

[bookbinder]

Too big for his boots.

[Jackdaw33]

Big is not a word I would use to describe Bercow.

[Jackdaw33]

I know it's not his fault but his wife is a horror.

[mikey4444]

He gets up the noses of some MPs and there is nowt wrong with that. The fact that most of those noses are Tory noses is just an added bonus !

He also went to a Comprehensive School, so I am unsure about the toffee-nosed bit.

Also, I hadn't realised that he was Jewish, not that that is significant in any way, just interesting.

[mikey4444]

Its worth bearing mind the margin that Bercow had, in the election for Speaker in June 2009 ::::

Bercow.......322
Young.........271

A good margin IMHO !

[anneasquith]

Better toffee nosed , than any other coloured nose. !!!!

[mikey4444]

Anne....I did think of mentioning that, although I am far too shy and retiring to do so !

His accent like him is fake. He learned the affectation whilst sucking up to the very far Right Tories that Mikey so loves. He himself was one such before making a career move to the Left(but taking his strangulated new speech pattern with him) He is reported to have once led a "Hang Mandela" campaign, haha and the luvvies worship the little scroat.
