Wtf was that? 01:23 - Sep 10 with 1144 views

A fight by the speakers chair whilst some woman dressed up in black with a sword was speaking front the House of Lords. Black rod is a weird name.

What and who was that fight? Blimey it’s a complete farce.

Bercow is raging. Twitter is confused. Sky news cant believe what they are watching.

Remarkable scenes. Shambolic .

After knocking three times with his ebony rod, the door is opened and MPs proceed to the Lords.

You can't stop tradition.

Terry Pratchett wrote a brief parody of the 'ceremony of the keys' in The Last Continent, which, like most of his stuff, is well worth a look.

Probably an attempt to repeat the incident during the reign of Charles I when several MPs held the Speaker down in his chair so the House could finish its business before being dissolved by the King. It does have a direct parallel to the present.
