He's currently handing Sajid Javid his arse and it's making me feel all funny

YANBU - he’s very twinkly and clever and has a nice face.

YANBU. I’ve been finding him oddly sexy for some years now Blush

Kitty1184 · 04/09/2019 15:58

Glad there are fellow Bercow fans out there. Bercettes?

Me too, I'm not even remotely ashamed either!!

Haha kitty I have a whole portfolio of embarrassing crushes. My mate and I have a separate category for gilfs.

This has only made me love him more twitter.com/sturdyAlex/status/1171231983697108993?s=20

He's been accused of bullying and harassment. I don't find either attractive Envy

PickAChew · 10/09/2019 09:12

I don't give a flying flamingo needs to find it's way into my day, somehow.

Leafyhouse · 10/09/2019 09:16

I think he's been a truly great speaker, and he's maintained his humour throughout. Controlling that lot at a time like this is not a job to be underestimated.

Having said that, I do think Harriet Harman would be awesome. Glad she's thrown her hat in the ring to succeed him.

WonderWomansSpin · 10/09/2019 09:19

I dislike Bercow. I think he's made himself the 'story' too many times but I agree with you about Harriet Harman. I'd like to see her get the role.

donotcovertheradiator · 10/09/2019 09:31

He is a dreadful little prick.

He expects people to make like the Red Sea and move out of his way in the Commons Tea Room.

He has flip flopped his houses in order to avoid capital gains tax.

He was implicated in the scandal expenses.

All in all, a nasty little twat who has nothing in his favour and he and his appalling wife are completely transparent-panting to be famous.

I'm glad he's pissed off and I'm sure we can look forward to seeing this odious pair crop up on Love Island or some such shite.

As for having a crush, I imagine he has about as much finesse as a lover as a hobbit.

I've met him a couple of times at charity events and found him perfectly pleasant. There was certainly no element of him expecting people to move out of his way, and I suspect that is one of those myths papers like the Mail like to spread. He does a lot of unsung work for charity, particularly disabled children.

Purplejay · 10/09/2019 10:51

I think he’s great! He makes watching parliament much more entertaining and I love that he takes no shit.

ArabellaDoreenFig · 10/09/2019 10:58

He’s a misogynistic arse who deliberately undermines the discussions around the erosion of women’s rights.

Yeah a real prize.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 10/09/2019 15:22

Just heard on the news that he might be appearing in I’m a Celeb later this year

MissBehaves · 10/09/2019 15:40

YANBU

EssentialHummus · 10/09/2019 15:48

God yes. I confessed this to a friend the other day, I don’t think she looks at me in the same way now Grin.

twattymctwatterson · 10/09/2019 16:13

He's like a sexy Bilbo Baggins

donotcovertheradiator · 10/09/2019 18:57

@Tonerre. I beg to differ. It is absolutely true that he expected people to move out of his way in the commons' tearoom.

It is not a myth.

Nor is it a myth that he flip flopped houses in order to avoid capital gains tax.

Nor is it a myth that he was implicated in the expenses scandal.

It is however a myth that he is perfectly pleasant, unless he is putti g on his Hale Fellow Well Met Mask for the sake of the plebs.

It may be a myth that as a lover he lacks finesse. Of course, that might not be a myth either-difficult to say when based on a secret sample!

But OP, you might better getting yourself off on fantasies of Ronnie Corbett and Hannibal Lector. Granted, in Bercow you get two for the price of one!

Septembersunrays · 10/09/2019 19:17

I'm with don't cover. Grin
