Speaker of House of Commons’ sleazy guide to get women in bed

London, Dec 5 (ANI): Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow is said to be facing another ghost from his past after it was revealed he wrote a “sex tips” guide on how to lure drunken girls into bed. With his wife’s candid confessional about her binge-drinking past still fresh on everyone’s mind, his having penned the John Bercow Guide To Understanding Women emerged.

The guidebook had been written for a Conservative student magazine in 1986 when Bercow was just a 23-year-old Lambeth councillor, and in it he offered advice on how to pick up drunk girls, how to pick up virgins and how to get rid of a girl after sex. Readers were treated to observations such as “women will settle for anything that breathes and has a credit card” and the excruciating chat-up line: “If you’re free later maybe we could go back to your place and name your breasts.”

At the time Bercow was also the chairman of the Federation of Conservative Students. A spokesman for the Speaker confirmed that he was the author of the piece, which appeared in Armageddon, a low-budget magazine said to have a “tiny circulation”. “This article appeared in a magazine that specialised in being both funny and provocative. It in no way reflects the Speaker’s views today,” the Times Online quoted his spokesman as saying. (ANI)
