I would blow Dane Cook: Dec 26, 2008

I'm trying to find a picture of someone wearing the top hat they used to wear in parliament when they wanted to make a point of order.

quote:

We recommend a new procedure for raising points of order during a Division. At present, we have the opera hat, and, although some Members may feel that they look particularly fetching in it, it makes the House of Commons look ridiculous when someone wearing the hat is trying to raise a point of order from a seated position while everyone else is milling around and going to vote.

Mr. Desmond Swayne (New Forest, West): The point is that everyone is milling around. If we must get rid of the opera hat, there must be some means by which a Member can indicate in the melee that he or she wishes to make a point of order.

Mrs. Taylor: We dealt with that point in the report by suggesting that Members, having indicated to the Clerk or the Chair that they wish to make a point of order, should be able to do so. We suggest that a Member should do so from a position on the second Bench, as close as possible to the Chair and the Clerks' Table so that he or she can be heard by the Chair and by the Official Report without obstructing the movement of Members to the Lobby. I understand that the hon. Gentleman wants to be sure

4 Jun 1998 : Column 555

that Members will still be able, in rare circumstances, to make points of order, but we have offered an alternative that might be used.
Mr. Bennett: I accept that it is difficult to make a point of order during a Division. When we put the hat on, most of the rest of the House is amused by our appearance. However, although having a special place to stand is perfectly all right for the person making the point of order, it often happens that once a Member has made a point claiming that something is absolutely outrageous, another Member wants to rebut it quickly. If one is standing in the far corner, it will not be easy, after hearing a point of order, to rush to the second Bench to make a point.

Mrs. Taylor: It is not for other Members to rebut points of order, but for the Speaker.

If we adopt the new procedure, what should happen to the top hats that have been in the Chamber until now? I understand that we have two hats here normally. Perhaps one could be displayed in our archive near the old annunciator downstairs. I am sure that many Members would like the other as a souvenir, but I do not think it best to do that with it. Perhaps we should find a way to raise money for charity by disposing of the hat. Perhaps Madam Speaker could give some thought to that.

Mr. Dennis Skinner (Bolsover): We could put it in the Dome.

Mrs. Taylor: My hon. Friend makes an intriguing suggestion, and I will convey it to my hon. Friend the Minister without Portfolio. Wherever the hat goes, we will make sure that any money raised is used for a very good purpose.

it's kinda weird that I can't seem to think of some piece of media that dealt with brexit anxieties in any way, like even b movie action flicks now feature drone warfare but brexit doesn't get even a dumb remark?
all I can think of is that brexit netflix movie with cucumberbatch guy

the Amazon series Carnival Row is about a fantasy Victorian London stand-in dominated by insane xenophobia and racism and ruled by cynical morons. Their politicians are a bit better than real London's at least, they are merely incestuous instead of pedophiles.

There was one scene where a group of Kobolds is accidentally deported to a country that was completely obliterated in some undefined catastrophe after the police mixed up their paperwork.

Other than that the show is real mediocre and the plot is stupid so I can't recommend it even if it does seem appropriate for the times
