John Bercow did not attend a public school - Public schools are elite private schools in Britain. He attended Frith Manor Primary School in Woodside Park, and Finchley Manorhill, a large comprehensive school in North Finchley.
Stop parading your utter ignorance

(40,212 posts)I know that a Public school in the UK is not like an American public school, but I know that from the time I spent two semesters abroad there. I would bet very few Americans know this.

Laziness must not get a pass

(269,008 posts)All I did was google Bercow schools and low and behold his entire educational profile was in front of me.
Now let me be honest - I usually but don't always double check before running my mouth but I am not a host on a TV program and I have no problem saying I was wrong.

(102,282 posts)so many. In the US, it means to essentially "scrap" it / put it aside. In the Uk, it means to move the vote forward.
There are lots of these.

JaneQPublic
(7,113 posts)She would've given them an education, just like she did when she explained why the average Brit wasn't excited at the prospect of a new trade deal with the U.S.: chlorinated meat, genetically modified produce, etc.

My wrong post was this: & was it HEILEMAN back on the air?!1 How did *that* happen?
HipChick
(25,485 posts)not Heileman...
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)He was promptly banned from Morning Joe (I remember Mika having a fit).
Heileman wasn't involved in Halperin's sexual harassment and never has been implicated since. I like Heileman. He's pretty straightforward, no bullshit, IMO...
malaise
(269,008 posts)about JoeScum and Mika trying to sneak Halperin back in and a big screaming match that followed between an NBC top dog and Halperin.
CTyankee
(63,912 posts)people remember when they weren't married (she was married to someone else, he was separated from his 2nd wife). Even SNL did satires on their onscreen behavior which were very funny.
