Dennis Skinner, Dodgy Dave, UK Parliament Expulsion
Veteran MP Dennis Skinner was expelled from the House of Commons for the day after refusing to withdraw the term "Dodgy Dave" in reference to Prime Minister David Cameron. The Speaker of the House ruled the adjective unparliamentary, leading to a standoff. The incident is used to highlight the restrictive nature of speech within the hallowed halls of British government.
