Gordon Brown a Phoney

Well Cameron got a telling off for calling Gordon Brown a "phoney"

Are they not allowed to say facts in parliament any more?

similar to when Jeremy Clarkson called him a 'one-eyed Scottish git'
i may have added the git


i still like Winky McfkNut
a.k.a The Kilted stWit !

More accurate perhaps, but hardly more parliamentary.

"Useless" would have been more apt.

But, yes, I thought 'The House' was beyond even libel laws with the intention that the truth could be told. Sad, but not surprising.

It's just Parliamentary etiquette, members are not allowed to insult or accuse another member of lying.

'ave another

It's not all that bad - as was metioned on the BBC site, it will probably make the news this evening and will be broadcast around the country and maybe the odd dimwit will declare.. 'Gordon Brown a phoney? Really? I must look into this!'

If they hadn't realised already - must be someone left!

That's what happens when you have a labour speaker. The term has been used before without issue.

Indeed. Speakers of the House were traditionally from the oppositon party by means of etiquette.

Guess which PM went against that convention?




He's got big ears.....




I really hope I'm right about this now, having posted that.
