I swear to god. The mother of all parliaments has broken down
Quote | Reply
Literally broken down, they can't print any of the motions on perhaps the craziest day in parliamentary history. All to push a single bill through in a single day.

Printers have broken down

Bills have been printed with wrong members on.

It is ringing brothers

The funniest shit on TV today

I assume you mean Ringling Brothers as in the circus.

So have they passed something today?

I refer that to the honourable member for the 18th century, though I imagine Canon were not the answer

I can't imagine this is changing the toner of parliament right now. This will just cause more of a jam. Won't be able to paper over this issue.

OK, made me chuckle.

No mention of suspending parliament due to a sewage leak into the Commons?

Yeah, our Progenitors aren't covering themselves with glory lately. We would say that it's a Chinese fire drill and clusterfuck, both at the same time.

Personally, I think the entire Brexit effort has turned both sides into dumber-er versions of Harry and Lloyd from "Dumb and Dumber." The result is what you see being broadcast on your TV. Heh.

The Germans definitely have a word for it. I have no idea what it is, but when you have a plan and intend to do something and then another event prevents it

Though I suspect the truth is May sent Boris up on the roof with an axe and said make an enormous hole

So motions can only be submitted when house was sitting. Motions for votes were expect today for Monday to be passed before she goes to EU on Wednesday. God works in mysterious ways because it simply can't happen now

Sir Nigel Darroch, UK Ambassador to the US, said the general public in the UK have confidence in Parliament.

Sarcasm?

You egotistical English. The mother of all Parliament's is the Icelandic AlĂ¾ingi, formed almost 300 years before the English model Parliament of the 1200's.

And apparently the English one has a plumbing problem today.

beginning to think they are doing this stuff just to give Jonathon Pie material to rant about.
