Daily Star Sunday

Shown up by a bunch of Bercs

-

Write to me c/o Daily Star Sunday, One Canada Square, London E14 5AP patronisin­gly, as you were lied to. It wasn’t your fault, but you really did now need to come to your senses, admit your mistake and sign up for doing it all over again.

In truth, they’d really like another referendum where you only get to vote if you went to Oxbridge, preferably having studied philosophy, politics and economics.

Their behaviour hit its lowest point last week.

Forced to suspend Parliament, Speaker

John Bercow, inset, behaved like a schoolboy who had been told to tidy his room.

Having soaked up 90 minutes’ worth of gutwrenchi­ng praise for his brilliance and supposed impartiali­ty, he watched smugly as MPs turned the Commons into a schoolyard with their outrageous antics.

As Parliament was finally put out of its misery, some MPs tried to hold Bercow in his chair while others sang and held up banners. It was shameful behaviour that was ignored by a beaming Bercow.

Next it was the turn of some judges in Scotland to rule the suspension of Parliament was illegal, ignoring an English High Court ruling that said it was not. It also warned it was important to realise this was a political matter, not a legal one. The shameful week ended with the forced publicatio­n of the Yellowhamm­er papers looking at the possible impact of Brexit. Hysterical Remainers tried to portray it as a prediction, ignoring the fact that if you allowed yourself to dwell on what could happen in a “worst-case scenario” you would be unlikely to ever get out of bed.

They stopped short of warning zombies would take over the planet but, hey, they still have time – there’s still more than six weeks to go.
