ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- After 10 years as House of Commons Speaker, John Bercow will be stepping down by 31 October. Well known for his theatrical shouts of 'Order' to unruly MPs, he has also proved to be a controversial figure in one of the most turbulent episodes in British politics. From his thoughts on Donald Trump addressing parliament to accusations of calling the leader of the house, Andrea Leadsom, a 'stupid woman', here are five of his most memorable moments in the role

We've adjusted the music because a lot of you were right.
What?
@@isaacfisher2482 maybe music mix was off
Music is psychological manipulation. A low single note drone or a heroic and triumphant buildup can give the same scene in a movie a drastically different interpretation. Same goes for speeches. Words do not need to be underscored. You'd think journalists would understand this and be objective. But then if you were objective you wouldn't exclusively select anti-Brexit, anti-Trump, anti-Conservative or, well, basically anything that isn't the far-left.
@@jpr1est783 Everything I don't agree with is Far-Left (not Über-Liberal)
@@isaacfisher2482 People saying the music was too loud in the comments. They were correct.
Shame they are writing him out of brexit season three. He was my favourite character.
Lol😂😂👍
Saying Season instead of Series is exactly why Brexit happened
Three seasons is rather undercutting everything, we're on at least season 7 at present
Season 1 Cameron and the Public Vote
Season 2 See You, EU
Season 3 A Quick General Election
Season 4 A Deadline Begins to Loom
Season 5 There May Be a Problem
Season 6 Extension: Granted
Season 7 Enter the Bojo
Yeah I'm going to stop watching this show
"I couldn't give a flying flamingo about what your view is"
This man is fuckimg legend
Don't you mean flamingo legend?
sorry, what does flying flamingo mean?
@@ЯнаЛобаненок It’s an airborne bird.
@@TMBARD ohyet', you managed to open my eyes. My world starts to play by different colors. Thank you so much
@@ЯнаЛобаненок I could really give a flying flamingo what you think
When he gave Boris a dressing down for his addressing of the foreign secretary I instantly fell in love with him. A gentleman is measured on his character, which is ultimately addressed on how he treats others. His refusal to let slip a man pretending he doesn’t know a woman’s name then to just to refer to her via her husbands title is admirable.
THAT WAS A SET UP TO MAKE YOU THINK IN A CERTAIN WAY.. AS WITH MANY OTHER TELEVISED "SET PIECES"...
@@kevinhall3188 how can you set things up in the House of Commons? And the chamber is always televised so what you’ve said doesn’t really make much sense.
To be fair, many women ride the coattails of their husband’s success - Just look at the Duke of Sussex’s wife (whatever her name is) who was formerly married to a film producer in California because she was an actress.
@@TMBARD you know Meghan’s name, dont play dumb. Markle was famous before Harry, as you said yourself, she was an actress.
@@kevinhall3188 AS IN USING ALL CAPS IN A VAIN ATTEMPT TO INJECT SOME MARGIAL ADDITIONAL TANGIBLE "OOMPH" OR EMPHASIS TO A POINT/MESSAGE/CLAIM/ARGUMENT, A RATHER FRUMPISH AND DUMPY OOMPH THAT SOME READERS MIGHT, BUT NOT NECESSARILY WILL OR SHOULD, TREAT NOT AS THE MERE PUFFERY AND VACUOUS SURPLUSAGE THAT IT IN FACT IS, BUT RATHER AS SOME SORT OF ACTUAL ADDITIONAL RELEVANT AND MATERIAL EVIDENCE/BACKING/WARRANT THAT, TO THE DELUDED MIND, APPEARS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO SAID POINT/MESSAGE/CLAIM/ARGUMENT.
Or something along those lines.
0:56 how you look on the first day of school 2:36 how you look on the last day of school
He went super saiyan
Mate 😂😂🤣🤣
haha
The way he says order, in so many different ways, is just music to my ears.
I always thought it was " oh deaaaar" :)))
He's only 32 but the stress of being an Arsenal fan makes him look nearly 40.
Was him being 32 a joke
he's 56 aha
Peeper, can i cook u in my submarine
He is literally a 56 year old man mate
Peeper 😂😂👍🏼
Poor man 10 years of madness he has seen
Poor man probably has a MASSIVE salary.
@Ant Everett "dear liberal" are you forgetting that bercow was a conservative before becoming the speaker
Poor? 😂😂 He should have left ages ago.
@Bo Pik you must be dense as bricks to think that
*caused* you mean. Brexit would be done by now. This guy voted remain so has held it up for years, cackling like a 10 year old girl in glee while he undermines democracy to get his own way. All the remainers can think its funny and amazing...what happens when the next thing he doesnt want is something YOU voted for?
I love that Mr. Bercow's 'ORDER' plays in between the segments
That flying flamingo line was epic!
It was epic, haha.
He's been using it for years, truth be told. Still lovely.
I am going to use that in my speech now, especially because people expect me swear all the time!
Bercow himself was epic😎will be missed😐
How much will I miss him! He defined "Mr. Speaker" as an independent, strong, honourable and reliable person. That is what a parliament needs.
He definately followed in the steps of Bootroyd, who was similar in many ways.
independent, strong, honourable and reliable person? Your comment is sarcasm, right?
@@JfK--OBJECTivE Move away from the position of a brexit partisan hack for a moment, and understand that from the standpoint of a speaker of the house, allowing MPs to vote who represent the 49.5% who did NOT vote for brexit is well within his mandate of defending the interests of democracy and the house of commons, in the face of a government that actively sought to try to use the rules to deny votes on parliamentary measures.
That is precisely what an independant, strong, honorable, and reliable speaker should do. Even if it opposes their original party, and even if it opposes what some voters would want to happen.
A reminder that until brexit, not a single brexit hack had anything poor to say about Bercow, and in fact, those same hacks re-elected him to speaker AFTER brexit even started. Unanimously.
widely regarded as the worst speaker ever in the UK parliament history, however I wouldn't want his Job as someone famously said, you won't find a bigger hive of criminals, con artists and lunatics than in the house of commons
@@jeremysmith8035Mate that's on you for thinking that way because the previous speakers before bercow are so incompetent compared to him
Why, I ask WHY, would you feel the need to play a stupid music loop in the background?
the music is to cover up his sad little voice !
They uploaded it without and then made the video private and reuploaded with the music loop to appear trendy and appeal more to young people even though it makes the video terrible.
Hate music. It gets everywhere. Buy earplugs
Blame the hipsters
Maybe it's copyrighted and therefore easier to take down elsewhere when it gets re-uploaded by others.
Best of luck John "ORRRDAAA" Bercow! Hoping Martin Freeman will play him in the Brexit movie
Skip Freeman, you need Brian Blessed for the voice.
I feel sorry for Britain to lose such a great speaker
Yae.
Yes, I too feel sorry that British Parliament lost such a great speaker.
Parliament Will never be the same without John Barcow.
@Phil Earl If you think that the House of Common is corrupted, take a look at the italian parliament. Now THAT'S corrupted
@@mattiafioravanti8475 he's not in the Italian parliament so who cares. He's in the European maffia.
Yes that's bloody true. It will be a much more humane, and humble parliament once he jogs on and a better speaker takes less devicive control!
It will be exactly the same.
Parliament is owned by the bankers and corporations.
It's an oligarchy people, one day everyone might just get it.
Get rid of him now he is a joke.
My friend is obsessed with politics and loves yelling OORRRRRDDDAAAAHHH and I have been wondering what on earth he’s been on.
AND NOW YOU KNOW
He’s on politics and only the savage ones
"five memorable moments from a decade as Speaker" and yet the oldest moment is from 2017
Maybe there weren't any before that.
@JonnyRed801 well, it seems Tories can be people too... (am non-a-Brit so we kinda see Brexit as direct betrayal of Europe so here's that)
Did the narrative just show a little light with this comment?
The last 3 years of UK Politics has felt as long as a decade tbh
They didn't include the moment that lead to Cameron's attempt to oust him.
That is a big pity Mr Bercow will no longer be The Speaker. A man of great charisma, charm and intelligence.
This guy is amazing
Well same as all... at least this guy stands up for parliament and does his job properly
Orderrrrr the door, orda the door, orda door, hodor
🤣🤣🤣
o'dourves~~~~
That sounds more like speaker Martin, bless him.
One of the best funny Line I heard in years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most obvious one that comes to mind which surprises me in being absent from the video was the time he told David Cameron "he HAS finished, and he can take it from me that he's finished!"
"Mr Gove you are a very excitable individual! Calm down, man!"
“I couldn’t give a flying flamingo what your view is.”😂🤣😂
My admiration and respect for Speaker Bercow is enormous. He was once a hard right Tory; a member of the 1922 committee.
And then John met Sally.
Praise de lawd.
Thank you for being a magnificent speaker, Sir.
1922 isn't hard right? It's simply the constitutional committee of the party. Are you thinking of the Monday Club?
I'm going to miss that man's ties
Even worse, nobody yells "ORDAH" quite like he does
John Bercow is the best of the BEST. From Portugal, I heard the House of Commons live as a great momentum of diplomacy, honour and courtesy. Great values in a Speaker, in a Person, if John Bercow had a channel live, I would certainly follow him :)
Exactamente.
Me, an Floridaman coming here because the man got casted into the big Fallout London mod for Fallout 4.
Aight now I understand why he's now Robot Speaker Of House now. XD
Caught the season finale last night. Was right to stick around for the end credits scene.
Beats S8 of GoT thats for sure!
I'd like to shake his hand for standing the ground and putting people in their places in the most well spoken way.
The man is a legend. He will be much missed.
By those that hate impartiality.
Hahahahahahahaha
P B no!! He’s a little tosser, who won’t be missed at all
Bah so many people have recently just jumped on the Bercow bandwagon because the media's started giving him a platform.
John is by far the best speaker I have seen. He leads the house and keeps orrrrrrrddddddder
I think we all know what he was trying to say when he screamed flying flamingoes!!!!!!
"Five memorable moments from the last 18 months as speaker"..
From the States - love this guy! His example of cordiality and principled patriotism shows Mitch McConnell and most of his conservative cronies as the cowardly corrupt careerists that they are.
@kindinot . And Trump, Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, KellyAnne Conway, Stephen Miller, Steve Mnuchin, Betsy DeVos, etc, being right-wing, are paragons of honesty. smh.
@kindinot Oh yes ",,,and everyone knows it." Everyone! How convincing! Wicked smart! The standard Trumplicker's 2nd grader thinking skills. Not worthy of any more time.
What a wonderful manner of speaking he has, and the way he stresses particular words whilst looking directly at the audience. Pure charisma in my view. Just as well he took a benign path in politics.
Boris Johnson is actually clapped ngl
eu Police holding Brexit protesters hostage wtf, shame on you labour and lib dems
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No u
Bravo Mr Bercow, your steady hand will be sorely missed in these troubled times
He’s the type of guy that could make up some word and I would believe it’s a proper English word
I am from the US. I first heard of John Bercow in a video where Boris Johnson and others were telling funny stories about his time as speaker at his retirement. I enjoyed that video. I have since watched other John Bercow videos and enjoyed those too.
Such a great character, very professional and a fantastic speaker, i love the way he puts down mps that are out of order. He'll be very missed, he's actually one of the main reasons i watch politics.
absolute legend of a speaker
The occasional "Ordeeeeerrr!" gets me 😂
He`s simply ingenious! Best regards from Gernany.
Video should be called "5 moments the speaker said something The Guardian liked"
@Macsen Wledig you do know that English is an international language and non-Brits also watch this disaster movie series? Like, for Europeans, a converted Torie is like an Uruk-Hai that stopped serving Mordor, so of course we like that plot twist... duh!
I mean... It's the Guardian. I think that's kind of fair enough.
Annoying music distracts from the footage...
Whoever put the video together is stupid af
Living legend. Deserves so much better than being in the zookeeper of the world's most uncontrollable zoo.
You did a fine job Mr Bercow, you should be proud.... if Tories hate you then you did something right.
Nobody wants to be a Tory.
The flying flamingo line could be straight out of Monty Python lolol
Thank you for all these posts, like other folks here, I watch and rewatch and always enjoy Mr Bercow's eloquence and his huge broad range of diction and vocabulary. I think a lot of us learn new words and phrases from watching him. I hope he doing well in whatever he is doing now.
You forgot the time he called and MP "an incorrigible delinquent".
love this guy.!! there will be nobody like him.
the background music is a joke, why ruin a perfectly adequate video?
the guardian are TERRIBLE for putting inappropriate electronic/hip-hop music on their videos. it's like, we get it, one of your interns has a few spotify playlists. we can buy our own bonobo tickets.
Fixed
aaroninky hahah, hilarious comment. And on that note ORDEHHHH
@@aaroninky What a presumptuous fellow you are. Is a "five memorable moments from a decade as Speaker" youtube video where you seek to educate yourself on matters of politics? This is merely a tribute, and the artistry behind the chosen soundtrack represents a great deal more maturity than you'll find in the House of Commons today.
I can't be the only one who noticed that they used his "ORDAAAHHH!" in the transitions. 😂
I love this guy. His sense of fairness and humanity has set a new standard in parliament. His introduction to young people of the workings of British politics with the Youth Parliament, has yet to make its impact fully felt. I think that, despite huge members of schools having become such stifling centres of coercion and control, the annual lead-up to MYP elections must have helped in UK school climate strikers' confidence in speaking out.
His will be a hard act to follow indeed, but hopefully he'll have paved the way for further changes still to position parliament as a more genuinely representative institution.
Peter Brodie You're right but unfortunately he was and still is hated by many exactly because of his progressiveness. I try not to generalise but I have a feeling most of the Brexit supporters hated him because he didn't give a "flying flamingo" and just straight up put their darling Boris in his place.
Dara M. Yes, but I think he has the inner strength to cope with that, especially when he's no longer there!
Stevean2, I'm not sure why you think trump should speak in parliament in the first place. He's not an MP, he's not a UK voter or resident or a UK national. What makes you think he has any right to address our democratically elected representatives?!? As for unemployment in the UK, that's because our government gave the bankers a big handout after financial crash, instead of investing it in UK industry. If you believe all the lies that clown at no 10 spins then I pity you
the greatest speaker at all time! Master of English language!
Ótimo orador e condutor da Câmara dos Comuns. Vai fazer falta.
That’s right chaps I don’t give a flying flamingo
That flying flamingo joke. XD Haha.
I can't believe he actually came to my primary school
Just bloody found this guy and now gutted he's juts steped down! Pure genius!!!
I love how every transition you hear ORDAAAAAAAA in the background
I don’t think the speakers voice has ever cracked.
You are the best Bercow 😂😂😂😍😍😍👍✌👏👏👏👏 j'adore what a Charismatic gentlemen
I like how in the transition it says “ Order” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everytime he says that I get all excited 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll miss him. ORDAHHH!
The people he bullied won’t.
@Ant Everett As opposed to your Brextremist nutter one.
@Ant Everett John Bercow is a conservative
“I couldn’t give a flying flamingo” lol I’m using that one ☝️
Even in the ghettos of swansea we love the bercow. Ordaa! Ordaaaaaaa!
i mean this video is a bit ridiculous innit, you're basically saying the only memorable moments are brexit moments
or better yet, you just didn't care to pay attention to parliament before brexit
Where's the 'incorrigible' one!? I don't agree with his politics, but what a great character and sophist
You can tell he really wants to make history by being the first person to say the f word. He is resigning and frankly he had enough of the drama and no one can blame him. So he is settling for “flying flamingoes” instead of “F WORD” lmao 😂
I would give a flying flamingo
How are these people so confident and charismatic people?
I cannot remember any other speaker being banned from Parliament.
He WILL BE MISSED
Jon bercow is my favourite person in Parliament haha
John Bercow needs to be reinstated as the Speaker of the House of Commons. (Period)
That sticker.. Its not mine! Soo British!
Thank you very much indeed.
So no instance of him scolding labour?
Can't upset these champagne socialists.
I’m just surprised his ‘flying flamingo’ has not caught on.
“That sticker is not mine and that’s the end of it”🤟😈😈😈😈
You’ve got to love his witty, funny cheeky side.
But he was also a courages, empathetic, fair, excellent listener, funny and firm when the occasion calls for it.
He would have made an amazing Prime Minister.
Thank you Bercow.
I love how the transition between events is him saying ordah
flying flamingo hahahahah
I need to order and 'ORDAAA' shirt from TLDR. I'm from the US and most people will go "WTF?"
Goodbye , take care , you ll be missed
He will be missed. You wait and see!
He can't go soon enough. He's not made the chair more powerful, he just made it more political. He's been catastrophic for voter trust, from an unelected position.
@@gazlink1 What do you mean "unelected"? Did parlament not vote him as speaker?
@@birgerkagan6087 once there he could do what he wanted. He was unaccountable from then on. But, yes he was elected once.
@@gazlink1 correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that every new parlament would vote for whoever should be the speaker during that assembly? of course if nobody announced their candidacy such election would not give meaning
Didn't age well did it? The Guardian is usually first to point out when despicable little men make dispicable decisions. Don't seem to care however when the politics of someone reflects that of their own.
Fun fact: John Bercow was Britain's number 1 junior tennis player for a number of years
Fun fact, bercow was on jim'l fix it.he later reported it was an enjoyable experience.
@@cujimmy1366 (if you meant that about the tennis, it's true xD" he was apparently quite the promising player that was eventually thwarted by being left bereft of heightly gifts in the puberty presents..)
@Ant Everett Bercow also had some of the lowest expenses claimed by any MP in other years.
@Ant Everett In 2008/9 his expenses came in 640th out of 647 MPs as just one example. Only 7 MPs spent less. Talk about sheep. Do some research.
I came for 5 moments of bercow and stayed for
ORDEEEEHHHHH
I support Brexit but I'm going to miss him. He's generally been independent, given backbenchers including new MPs an opportunity to speak and has made the sovereignty of Parliament clear while being brilliant at maintaining order in some of the most heated debates in modern political history
Very well said, and very generous and decent.
He was the best speaker of the house in a long time.
Newsflash: Flamingo flies through Parliament
I note the smerk after the comment relating to the sticker. I don't believe he was ever impartial.
@Anthony Wood it is smirk, not smerk.
@@anonymousforever cheers, my dyslexia some times means I make spelling mistakes. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@notme3523 there is always room for improvement
He has a great voice and command of the English language
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly he ordarrhaaa
Bercow cracks me up. Im gonna miss him as speaker. " i dont give a flying flamingo!" 😂😂😂😂
I could die in peace when I am as eloquent as him.
Clever, articulate man with a great sense of humour.
Mr speaker using his position for popularity? John Bercow will definitely have a great future in entertainment.
Bercow putting people in their place with "ordderrrr"
That last one was a epic British put down in the most gentlemen like way
What a dropkick.
“Flying flamingo” 🤣🤣
