re: #140 CongoJack
Hilarious hearing the “no, no, no” in a calm British voice.
Can someone tell me what the hell is going on in that video?
If I understand correctly, which I may very well not, the mace gives the House of Commons royal authority to conduct business. Removing it suspends that authority and is a form of protest under extreme conditions. The protest is noted, the member of the House of Commons doing it gets his wrist slapped, everyone is suitably shocked, and life goes on as normal.
