Boothroyd was a truly great speaker. She had every right to throw him out without calling a division, but she gave the man every possible chance in recognition of the magnitude of the situation. You wouldn't see many speakers do that.

Ran Tothon true because when Michael Martin was speaker half the time he sounded like he was scared to say order and that he had no control over the house
Actually these MPs were markedly far more restrained than they have been more recently e,g, when John Bercow ejected Dennis Skinner, or when Lindsay Hoyle ejected Ian Blackford, Neale Hanvey and Kenny MacAskill.
Betty Boothroyd was an excellent speaker. Such authority and yet such reasonableness. As for Ian Paisley, I may disagree with some of the things he said, but I admire his strength of character, his willingness to stand up for what he believed in against all opposition and his great oratory skills.
There was a character in Germany in the 20s and 30s who had strength of character, a great willingness to stand up for what he believed in against all opposition, and undeniably great oratory skills. Did you admire him too?
The lady was the best speaker the House of Commons could wish for. She treated him with respect. You have to hand it to him...he was indeed a man of strong conviction.
@@Axel-hw6hk You got that right. They called him Dr. Paisley. He got his PHD from Bob Jones University in the US; it lost its tax exemption because it would not admit people of color.
many of these rules of behavior were made at a time when mps carried swords and sometimes even killed each other. if u look closely at the floor of the chamber u will see a red line in front of both front benches. the space in the middle of these lines is 2 sword lengths and members cannot cross that line. if a member does put his foot over the line the speaker would order them to " toe the line". thats where that phrase was invented.

My understanding, from reading "Inside the House of Commons," by John Biffen, is that after the Speaker has "named" someone, a vote to exclude is required, but is perfunctory. What is interesting that Paisley apparently has enough support that the House was not willing to give automatic support to the Speaker and thereby force a division. Biffen served as Leader of the House under Thatcher, and it is the Leader of the House who makes the (usually) perfunctory motion to exclude. In his book, he says that he assumed he would have to use the motion against Paisley someday, but he never had to. According to Biffen, the "naming" procedure arose in the 1880's, as a way to deal with disruptions by MPs advocating Irish independence.
“the “naming” procedure arose in the 1880’s, as a way to deal with disruptions by MPs advocating Irish Independence” And this video, the Naming process is used AGAINST an - not - THE Ulster Unionist. Irony is not to be missed here.

Baroness Boothroyd was one of the single best Speakers ever to lead the House of Commons. She was tough but fair, open minded but no nonsense. She was an expert at handling the wild energies of the Commons, and knew when to let the House blow off steam and when to rein them in. She took no one’s crap and made sure everyone knew that she was in charge, but always did so in a way that didn’t chafe with the membership.
If any one person in Northern Ireland exacerbated the conflict in that Provence it was Ian Paisley. He claimed to speak for the people of Northern Ireland but the truth is he didn't even speak for the majority of unionists let alone any Catholics. I shed no tears when that man passed away.
I'm and Scottish with irish descent and while I would never agree with Ian paisley, I have to admit that he was a truly powerful person and powerful speaker and was one of very few unionist MPs I had respect for
@@DaRealist7 What is wrong with expressing your Irish roots as part of the United Kingdom? Where do you think you got that diagonal red cross in your flag from?!
paisley stood by what he said outside the house of commons and put up one hell of an argument, the secretary of state was a lying bastard, if anything he should've resigned
Agreed. Reverend Paisley fought for what he believed in & wasn't afraid to stand up in & up to the House & speak his mind. R.I.P Dr (Reverend) Ian Paisley - you are & always will be a legend.
Nah, he doesn't show respect. He's an MP and refused a request from the speaker to withdrawal his comment, then refused an order to leave. Thats disrespect. Cant offer respect to a person that has none.
IntenationalistOnTheRight They typically voted with the Tories, and on any occasion Major's govt was up against it in a tight vote he would rely upon the Unionists of NI to carry the vote.
yes, you are correct. Suspension is simply that. Being named involves suspension and loss of pay, 5 days for a first offence. If the speaker names an MP, a vote is then held for the house to decide if they are suspended. If the aye/no is unclear, a division is then held. A more dramatic one happened when John McDonnell was named for wielding the ceremonial mace. The great Sir Alan Hazelhurst was in the chair for that one.
there is no great reason other than its a bit of a gimmick for my channel. i made a mock MGM intro a few years ago with thatcher as the MGM lion. after a while i figured out how to make a few others and it just went on from there. iv got about 60 different intros now. everything from mrs thatcher as donkey kong to spiderman or a spice girl.... and knightmare.
So that he could bring recognition to the principle of why he was being thrown out. Essentially, escalating the status of his act of martyrdom in a way.
I think you’ll find it’s "didn’t speak like that",your English is terrible! And you don’t know the meaning of the word snob! This is very evident from the choice of wording and structure of your reply!
Someone else's sexual preferences are of no concern to me! Whatever takes place between 2 consenting adults of sound mind is NOONE ELSE'S business! Now who's being a snob?(judging others unfairly is a form of snobbery!)
I couldn't care less where Betty is from or about her sexual preferences! Sometimes one's way of speaking has to be modified due to different regional accents. Eg. A Geordie in London would have to speak clearly so would a Cockney in Glasgow and vice versa! Due to this your point is not valid! Snobs assume some sort of moral superiority over others regardless of upbringing or class(which I don't believe in!) Your posts have shown a form of snobbery,inverted or otherwise!
What on earth does it matter what her sexual preferences were and what her accent was like? She was a great speaker, surely that's what we should judge her on. I don't think there's any real evidence she is a lesbian but it wouldn't matter if she was. You call her a snob (with no basis) but seem happy to be a homophobe yourself. I think it's you that is the problem here.
Not the Lords as this is the House of Commons but that is splitting hairs. A naming very rarely goes to a formal vote as MPs tend not to which to challenge the chair on this issue. Once when a division was called no one would act as tellers for the 'no' side as such the 'ayes' won with out a vote as it was seen as the 'nos' not having any support.
You pretend that you care to get yourself elected, then change your mind again and again to toady up to people higher up the greasy pole until you get a promotion. It's called politics (or hypocrisy)...

@@agornath1 eh??? You’ve got to be joking! Try 1988 in the European Parliament Paisley’ s outburst to Pope John Paul “I denounce you as the antichrist” also held up placard with the same venom written on it.
Taking the word "falsehood" to be tantamount to "lie" is absurd, even if it may be a long-established rule or precedent. A falsehood simply means a statement that is false. There is no implication of intentionality. As long as you don't say anything about the reason why the person you're referring to said something that was wrong, it shouldn't be an issue. Paisley DID say "lies" in the end, of course, but if the Speaker's objection hadn't been raised, it wouldn't have happened. I'm not impugning Boothroyd, who may have simply been following rules.
Not going to deny she did the job well but this clip does more for Paisley to me than her, she is simply following a script whereas he is showing some strong defiance and a refusal to budge on his beliefs.
Another thing learned about the House of Commons, how you can be suspended by a vote from your peers. Unthinkable in Germany, where the respective state's and federal parliament president would do that in private session at most. The most your MP peers can do in Germany is vote on the parliament floor to suspend your immunity, not to suspend you outright.
@@londoncalling151 I didn't know that, plus I wasn't talking about Dr. Paisley, I was talking about how the Speaker of the House of Commons can suspend someone from Parliament without having a debate and a vote on that. Just talking about the difference between two parliamentary systems.
Ian Paisley and Betty Boothroyd, both legends in their way. Now we have to listen to the likes of Johnson, Corbyn, Arlene Foster and until recently the dreadful John Bercow, the worst Speaker ever.
Ms Boothroyd was a nobel and honerable public servant. She had the patience of a saint as witnessed by this exchange. Rev Paisley mellowed in later life and eventually embraced true democracy and made peace with his enemies for the betterment of all NI peoples.
yes. its one of the rules for paliamentry behavior. im guessing its a rule because if it were not then the mps would call each other liers all the time. also its probably to help stop members becoming so angry with each other that fights start. even though the house seems very rude at times there are several rules about what they can say in anger. if it becomes too personal or hateful the speaker will call them to order

Betty Boothroyd was brilliant! The reverend is polite to her even when she gives him the red card! 😂😀👍🏻
nothing 'reverend' about him
I loved Ian Paisley's sermons.
Yes, they are great. I had lunch with him in 2001.
Living them ae we, or just poppering up and getting off?
If you like Ian Paisley's sermons then you will love John Doerr's sermons.
@@anniegrath1417 He's never given a hate speech
@@agornath1 eh??? You’ve got to be joking! Try 1988 in the European Parliament Paisley’ s outburst to Pope John Paul “I denounce you as the antichrist” also held up placard with the same venom written on it.
Taking the word "falsehood" to be tantamount to "lie" is absurd, even if it may be a long-established rule or precedent. A falsehood simply means a statement that is false. There is no implication of intentionality. As long as you don't say anything about the reason why the person you're referring to said something that was wrong, it shouldn't be an issue.
Paisley DID say "lies" in the end, of course, but if the Speaker's objection hadn't been raised, it wouldn't have happened.
I'm not impugning Boothroyd, who may have simply been following rules.
What a legend Dr Paisley was. Unionism lost a great representative.
Stephen Carroll and the provos lost a great recruiter...
Where are such men now in Ulster?
A me feinner like his son horrible human being
did he comment on the Waco fire? or did he have a staunch opinion of fringe religion?
How true a great witness for Christ and Truth too. Bible Crown and Union. From Scotland.
Paisley had true passion. Betty was an epic speaker, too.
Paisley was a bigot !
Not going to deny she did the job well but this clip does more for Paisley to me than her, she is simply following a script whereas he is showing some strong defiance and a refusal to budge on his beliefs.
For telling the truth
Wow, burst my eardrums! Be careful if you have headphones on when you open this! Ouch!
The speaker reminds me of the lady in "Are You Being Served", the one who always talked about her cat.
Mrs. Slocombe. LOL
@@ieronymos9265 "Are You Being Served" was always a good laugh
Paisley was quite the bigot on occasions.
On this occasion I'm certain he was calling a LIE a Lie!
Betty Boothroyd is an absolute legend.
The DUP accepts the Tory Whip.
A preacher of the Gospel, safe in the arms of Jesus.
Another thing learned about the House of Commons, how you can be suspended by a vote from your peers. Unthinkable in Germany, where the respective state's and federal parliament president would do that in private session at most. The most your MP peers can do in Germany is vote on the parliament floor to suspend your immunity, not to suspend you outright.
It’s only for the day.
Dr Paisley flirted with Nazism. You keep shtum and watch after 40.
@@londoncalling151 I didn't know that, plus I wasn't talking about Dr. Paisley, I was talking about how the Speaker of the House of Commons can suspend someone from Parliament without having a debate and a vote on that. Just talking about the difference between two parliamentary systems.
Never again will the house see the likes of Baroness Boothroyd again.
Ian Paisley and Betty Boothroyd, both legends in their way. Now we have to listen to the likes of Johnson, Corbyn, Arlene Foster and until recently the dreadful John Bercow, the worst Speaker ever.
Ya a circus haven't seen British comedy as good for a long time
He was a powerful speaker.
He was indeed. A tremendous wanker too. At least if his sons are to be believed.
Most 'great' people are flawed. Churchill was a drunk, Kennedy was a compulsive womanizer, etc.
He could vocally rip the whole Commons Chamber apart, but he was too constrained by it's stuffy conformity.
Armed Brit
Ian Paisley was far from great. Ian Paisley was a bigot.
So speaketh another IRA fanboy.
Ms Boothroyd was a nobel and honerable public servant. She had the patience of a saint as witnessed by this exchange. Rev Paisley mellowed in later life and eventually embraced true democracy and made peace with his enemies for the betterment of all NI peoples.
Christ she was bloody great
lol. she makes almost any clip awesome.
He's in Heaven now. God bless him.
More like hell rotting
oh why is that? Cos he didn't kiss John Paul's ass?
If there is a god that BASTARD will be burning in hell.
Pathetic that he was suspended for correctly calling a politician a liar
Secretary of STEEE-at.
Edit: Rest well, Betty.
Great bit of history, thanks :)
yes. its one of the rules for paliamentry behavior. im guessing its a rule because if it were not then the mps would call each other liers all the time. also its probably to help stop members becoming so angry with each other that fights start. even though the house seems very rude at times there are several rules about what they can say in anger. if it becomes too personal or hateful the speaker will call them to order
Yes Betty was a great speaker, as was Dr Ian Paisley, and God bless him.
All he wanted was cheddar cheese and pineapple on a stick
