PMQT needs passion, fire, blood and guts.
What did the PM and the leader of the opposition think they were doing? Civility has its place but surely not in the bearpit that is question time.

I spent a lot of time at school (wet lunch breaks etc.) reading old copies of all sorts including parliamentary debates between Gladstone and Disraeli. They were conducted in a civilised fashion, no recourse to 'slagging off', but points were made definitively. Civility does not preclude debate and 'holding one's corner'.
reading old copies of parliamentary debates between Gladstone and Disraeli.
blimey which school did you go to?
the only quote I can give is 1867 - "you see before you gentlemen a row of extinct volcanoes....."(D) - and of a ministry which had run out of ideas.
our school library just didnt have anything like that.
For PP. I went to a good Yorkshire Grammar school. The annex was the Victorian home of a local wool magnate (my dad helped to shoulder his coffin at his funeral). The huge, L-shaped main room downstairs had housed his library and this was incorporated into the 6th form Library. There were bound copies of 'Punch' well back into the 19thC and lots of other wonders. I spent happy hours and more happy hours delving into them aged 16 and 17 (I was a year young for 11+). I learned so much. Just wish I could access them now.
