This is all it takes to get kicked out of Britain’s Parliament

Prime Minster David Cameron is currently being scrutinized over his recent linking to offshore accounts (which does not seem to be a new trend these days). The main issue the British public has with this investigation is not only the act itself, but with the fact that David Cameron preaches transparency. He was even known to have stated, "Sunlight is the best disinfectant". However, these accounts were his late father's - so there still is speculation that the allegations against him are unreasonable. This doubt did not stop Dennis Skinner, a Labor member of Parliament, from nicknaming Cameron "Dodgy Dave", much to the chagrin of the Commons Speaker, John Bercow. Bercow immediately asked Skinner to retract his statement, however Skinner continued to joke about the Prime Minister's situation. Skinner was then removed from the session, since House rules dictate against calling other associates liars. The full video is linked below -
