Following Mr Farage’s claim that he had been advised not to hold in-person surgeries by the Speaker’s Office, the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would advise MPs to take advice from parliament’s security team and “do so safely” if they asked him for advice on holding surgeries.
Yep, it’s what the yanks call a townhall.
And what do y’all call surgery? “Slicey knifey back to lifey?”
Well I do now
Old English vs modern. Original meaning was to alter something.
As our political system grew from royal land allocation where Lords were in control of the laws of their own serfs.
Surgeries were how locals talked with Lords abouts altering contracts and management of the land laws etc. More like a court then a town hall.
As we moved to a democratic system and the house of commons gained power. MP took over the job / terms.
so it’s actually closer to one of those psychic surgeries where the fake doctor pretends to do surgery but then you die of cancer 9 months later
Funny but no.
Its just surgery as a word is way older then our willingness to slice humans and stick our hands in.
We only applied it to that around the late 1800s.
But its forgivable that teenage nations like the US are confused. We as your parents have failed to educate you in many ways.
Also surgery. But we’re capable of knowing which homonym is meant by context ;)
I dunno, I thought he was having face surgery at first
He still got some mileage in the bullfog face he got last time.
