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 !
