"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember one time he asked Queen Victoria why--- The Victorian age was not known for its morality and so on. He was called Benjamin Disraeli. He asked Queen Victoria, how come you are the head of the Church of England and all these morality issues in the Victorian age are personified by your office and character. How do you come then to have so many children? Queen Victoria answered and said: “I close my eyes and think of England because England needed more and more people.” Sometimes some of these jokes are not necessarily the sweetest thing that we want to hear but sometimes, they are part of the banter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, like you remember Bessie Braddock who told Winston Churchil that \"you are so drunk\" and Winston retorted back that \"I am drunk but you are ugly but when I wake up tomorrow, I will be sober but you will still be ugly.\" That is one of the most famous quotes by Winston Churchill. I think, sometimes we may go over-board. We have had words like “scooping” and so on. They are part of the lingua although not considered quite the language we should use. I think sometimes in these debates, we should have a little poetic license. With those few remarks, I support."
