  • Labour MP Dennis Skinner, a republican, by tradition always makes a joke as Black Rod summons MPs to attend the Queen in the Lords. This time it’s a reference to the fact the Queen is heading for Royal Ascot later

      Why would she need to cancel the royal ascot. Her husband is in good condition as it was only an infection. They also toned down the ceremony as they didn't want to do anything big after the snap election that occurred.

    • @jakesanderson8568
      @jakesanderson8568 7 лет назад +198

      JasonTheGreat18 I appreciate the genuine question. Rather than discuss what he has done for our constituency, because that can be easily found on google as means nothing coming from a first time voter like me, I’ll note what he did for me and my friends personally. Upon the possibility of a trip down to London, our local conservative candidate at the time claimed he was too busy to meet the group at any point across a span of two months at the Houses of Parliament to meet us and talk to us even briefly about anything to do with politics. When Dennis skinner heard about this, he emailed our school saying simply, any day, any time, I shall take any students who wish to be involved around parliament and give them a full tour, whilst discussing both historical and current affairs of parliament. He delivered on this promise greatly. For me, a guy who took this time out of his busy schedule to dedicate to students, half of which were still too young to vote and really involve them in politics in this deep and historical way, that is a guy worth voting for

      Arminius Arminius so you're not from the UK, then…? So you won't know that he's been doing so almost since he entered the house, and that he was Thatcher's arch-nemesis. As for insulting the queen - why the fuck not…?! I've been insulting the queen almost my entire life, too, it's fun! I've always viewed the monarchy as anachronistic - this is the 21st century, for fuck's sake! I can't think of anything more anachronistic in the 21st century as the monarchy - oh and religion, of course.
      Why the fuck should I, as a taxpayer, pay to give Buck House a £370m makeover, when the former residents - and grieving families - of the Grenfell tragedy only get £5m…?! The queen is one of the richest people on Earth - if Buck House needs to be done up, she can fucking well pay for it! I'm fucking sick of the fucking lot of 'em - our public services are stretched to breaking point - but, apparently, we can afford £370m to do up Bet's gaff. I want to live in a proper democracy - and that means an elected head of state.
      Oh wait - I've just checked your page, you're a fully paid up-card-carrying member of the EDL or Pegida UK (or whatever Stephen Yardley's latest pet project is) no WONDER you're a bit thick.

When you refused to retract you comment on DODGY DAVE (which of course didn't allow anyone to comment on the video) I had to find another ''you tube'' video to make this remark. You are a man of TRUE INTEGRITY, worth 1000 of these self interested politicians who couldn't give a toss about anything but themselves.
    There are many in this country that deeply appreciates your effort to put people BEFORE money.
