    1:00 The Mace is seen as the Monarch's authority, so if it isn't there is like the Monarch doesn't give consent to Parliament.

    So, is it "cunt" ? As in "shut up you cunt" while the PM is speaking ? I wouldn't think you'd be allowed to say that… "orrrrdaaahhhhhhh… will you cunts shut UP ???" But who'd have the authority to tell Bercow he can't say that ??? If it's not that, what IS it that you aren't allowed to say ? And it's ONE thing ? That implies that "I give way to that cunt in the blue tie" would be in order ? Well, "The Honorable Cunt in the blue tie…"

    Just do the video !

    I thought it was more interesting to note the bridge at the commons end is green, and the bridge at the Lords end is red.

    house of lords declared brexit absolute nonsense, and said it will destroy wealth, and didnt had disputes about it, but house of commons failed and continued the brexit mess.

    January 4, 2024 at 12:13 am

    Great explanation but leaves out one of the central mysteries, what are those button like things hanging down, just about head level, from the wings of the speaker's chair?

    There are several typos/spelling errors in your video, reducing your credibility as a reliable source of information. Disappointing.
