"DON'T GESTICULATE. DON'T RANT. SPARE US THE THEATRICS"

As you readers* are aware there isn't a Political Curmudgeon in The Curmudgeon's Inc.ⓒ so I as The Polemical Curmudgeon cover most controversial or disputatious issues, along with The Religious Curmudgeon (when I remember that I actually exist).

No doubt you, like most of the world are being distracted by American politics and that fat idiot Trump's headlong career (as in careen) to the destruction of democracy in the USA and that the politics of other countries are getting side-lined.
The UK and its BREXIT woes might be an exception but I suspect although the whole thing is so drawn out and complicated that many observers have lost interest.

Hidden amongst the fiascoes and farces of the British Parliament is the resignation of one of the most recent entertaining characters - John Bercow.

Bercow was a conservative MP and served as Speaker of the House Of Commons from 2009 to 2019 having been elected to the position four times and working alongside four Prime Ministers. Quite a feat but not what he will mostly be remembered for.

What he will be remembered for is his unusual way of dealing with members of The House and his mannerisms.

ORDER!

Now that he's unemployed maybe, if he's short of income he could get a job in a fast food Drive Through.
