    Donald Trump will not be allowed to address Parliament on UK state visit, Speaker John Bercow says | The Independent[^] Given that the UK Parliament (like the US Congress) is a bastion of honesty, integrity and purity this only seems right. I suspect their poor innocent minds may be corrupted by the devil from across the pond. :rolleyes: Seriously though... these state visits by world "leaders" need to stop. The cost to tax payers is astronomical. Surely a video conference will suffice.

    In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. ~ Ronald Reagan

        Meh! I doubt Uncle Donald has anything important to say to UK MPs and I doubt even more that they would listen/care if he was given a chance. I am serious about the conference call though. :mad:

                                No, the Speaker is independent of the Government and the Opposition. He is, in theory, just a figurehead. John Bercow faces calls to 'think about his position' after bid to silence Donald Trump[^].

                                  I thought there was this thing where the speaker holds court until a deputy is sworn in. It might be historical; I get my time periods mixed up quite a bit, because of that damned crack in the flux-capacitor.

                                      In reality, this is probably much ado about nothing. 1) I've not heard that Trump wants to address the UK Parliament. 2) I've not heard that anyone in the UK has invited Trump to address parliament. 3) I doubt Americans care if Trump is allowed to address the UK Parliament.

                                        Yet another morally superior twerp ignoring the democtratic wil of the people. They make me sick. Branson, BLair, using their millions to try to derail Brexit. Left wingers by the score violently protesting Trumps election in the most undemocratic and illegal fashion. Bercow should be sacked for even hinting at the depth of his prejudice.

                                          In reality, this is probably much ado about nothing. 1) I've not heard that Trump wants to address the UK Parliament. 2) I've not heard that anyone in the UK has invited Trump to address parliament. 3) I doubt Americans care if Trump is allowed to address the UK Parliament.

                                          1. I also doubt that many Britons give a rat's @rse. But it's nice to see that British subjects, even the speaker of the house, are allowed to democratically exercise their legal right to protest against something. It's a shame that rabid supporters (of anything) believe that those who disagree with their opinions do not have any democratic or civil rights.
