Parliament is taking a five week break ahead of the Brexit deadline at the end of October, but when they come back, it'll be without one of their most famous members.

UK Parliament Loses ‘Order’ As They Shut Down For 5 Weeks | All In | MSNBC
first comment! yay I wins the internet
and one fart free hallway of your choosing
OOORRRRRDDDDDAAAAAAARRRR!!!!
He has the best ties.
Make Racists Afraid Again : He really does! They make me happy every time I see him on the screen. 😁
Norman-French… The first thugs…

That whole comment about ‘Thing 1’ was stupid and sounded juvenile. The whole ceremonial procedure is steeped in a rich history and tradition. It is not any more silly than American ceremonial procedure on The Hill.
@marty methuselah help help ..I’m being repressed !
Steven Prime : Just because it’s steeped in tradition doesn’t mean it can’t be funny as well, if only because of the anachronistic nature of it. We laugh at our own procedures too, if that makes you feel any better.
@David Hill We have a Lightwarden as our president. he must be voted or forced out for the good of this star.
@marty methuselah oh there you go, bringing class into it again.
@ErykaSoleil I have a sense of humour, too. But the way he commented about it sounded juvenile and a bit derogatory – to my ears at least. It was like “look at those silly English people doing those silly English things.” I almost detected a sneer.
WIg-gers..
with pimped out hats….
UK politics can’t use hair brushes ?
The Hiking gamer : Are you asking about why they wear the wigs, instead of just styling their hair that way? You do not want to attempt those traditional styles without wigs, trust me. I have had to do them for theatre work on occasion, and they are an absolute nightmare to accomplish on anything naturally attached to a living person.
I’d so love to be within earshot of speaker John Bercow as he places a Food ORDARRRRRRRR at a restaurant or store. 🗣 👂
Why the British Parliament session sounds and looks like a Monty Python skit?
because that is what British politics has become.
A Farce.
@taothewanderer Like Washington.
3dfreak2000 : Probably because that’s what Monty Python was parodying in their skits.
The conservative who is a champions for liberal causes,notice Labour and Liberal Dems applaud him,his own party not.This guy is so entertaining.
That should be “off she goes ” the black rod is a women (Sarah Clarke )
David Hill : Thank you for clearing that up. I was thinking that was a woman based on the cut of the costume and general appearance, but I wasn’t sure after Chris said “he”.
John Bercow was the best Speaker in modern history.
I’m absolutely gutted that he’s leaving.
I don’t think this segment was as strong as some of the others have been. Thing One was a missed opportunity to throw in some education with the humor (for example, I learned why they use the French from reading through the comments, although I might have Googled it later out of curiosity), and it wasn’t the best lead-in for Thing 2. And how could you talk about that man and NOT MENTION HIS FABULOUS TIES??
Because William the conqueror won the battle of Hastings.
The UK has lost a legend ! May Bercow enjoy his post-speaker days. He deserves it !
Many were legends, and helped bring ORDER! to a very badly behaved crowd.
The UK speaker of the house really does a lot of speaking. Makes sense.
Odor! Odor! Odor! I smell fece’s from afar with my keen sense of smell.
Full of adornments while a government that gets nothing done
Bercow is a horrible half pint little toad bully.
