Oh yes he does, and a great deal more. In addition to his disgusting partiality his behaviour in Westminster quite apart from his abuse of his role as Mr Speaker can only be described as appalling where his relationships with staff who had to had to interface with him. Bullying and brow beating were his style.

Outside of The House his behaviour was inappropriate to say the very least.

He tainted the role that he held in every possible way.

Should we set up a petition...Surely he deserved a knighthood?

I'm one of those who signed a petition to suggest that he didn't get either a knighthood or a peerage.

I'm very glad that it worked!

Actually, he should have been assassinated.

Oh yes he does, all of it

And while we're at it I see we've had the sort of insulting comment that we've seen & heard before - that anyone who supports the majority decision of the biggest democratic exercise ever carried out in this country is far right

Hi

A childish spiteful act, definitely not the right message to send for one who says he wants to unify the UK.

Spend a little time reading of his activities involving bullying of Westminster workers for a start. Bercow tried and condemned by his own behaviour over the years for that reason alone.

No. It represents the utter disgust that the vast majority of the people feel towards the man for a number of very good reasons. Bercow the very antithesis of what our government is intended to be.

It is absolutely the right course of action.
