How could the

[brenda]

position of Speaker of the House ever have been awarded to someone who comes across as an almost inarticulate, mumbling illiterate.?

Ask stokey

[Squitty]

because he and Blair/Brown have a special handshake.

[whifffey]

He's gone now, a total buffoon, always unintillegible, and pathetic in his last few days, but gone now fortunately.

[brenda]

Sorry who is stokey please?

stoke for speaker

[DSnewsKE]

Is it because Michael Martin is Scottish? This post stinks of racism. Just as well he isn't black.

DSnewsKE-----no racism was intended on my part with my original post, am quite certain that there are equal numbers of inarticulate , mumbling illiterates in all parts of the U.K as there are in Scotland.

is he meant to say "ah-order, ah-order" or is he just being strange? why not just "order, order"?
