My Lords and Gentlemen,
I beg to move, That this Parliament adopt this resolution.
Quote:It is the sense of this Parliament that none shall enter into this chamber wearing spandex, blue or otherwise, unless they can demonstrate super human powers ahead of time to the Speaker, or except they be pursuing a notorious villain of super human ability.
My Lords and Gentlemen:
I know it isn't permitted to speak once voting has begun, but I'll risk the wrath of the chair and of my colleagues to ask what the deuce is going on, here?
This is embarrassing. People can see this. Visitors can see this. I was sure Parliament was the one place around here where one would never have to worry about encountering screwy whack-a-doo.
I wouldn't call ours the 'Mother of All Parliaments' with respect to non-territorial nations, but ours is amongst the most respected of them, if not the most respected, on account of her maturity and integrity.
But this stuff? Here? No. My Lords and Gentlemen, if we're heading this way, show me the door.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
There is no division underway. I suspect the Lord Dresbach was being his employing brevity.
I am surprised at the member James Marchmain who seems to have forgotten that it was he himself who introduced the concept of spandex into this parliament:
Quote:But I must ask, will 'Super Minister' don a red cape and blue spandex when joining us?
God save the King
My Lords and Gentlemen,
This is nothing but utterly ridiculous. And since when a joke employed by one of the citizens of this nation to prove a point is a serious bill proposal?
This is making a joke out of this body.
I yield.
My Lords and Gentlemen:
In response to the Speaker, that was during a discussion that turned to levity, but this is an actual Resolution. What on earth is going on?
My Lords and Gentlemen,
As it appears the levity of this august body has left the chamber, I withdraw this resolution.
God save the King
My Lords and Gentlemen:
I commend the Most Noble Lord for withdrawing his resolution. Levity has her place, even here, but there's a difference between a conversation on the benches that may involve humour and the tabling of a whimsical resolution.
