Mocking Michael Martin
They didn't, actually, that Parliament full of MPs who heard their Speaker announce his resignation - the first one to be forced out since 1695. But when the R-less reporter was describing the scene, she said "some wanted to mock his departure."
Er, make that "mark".
(edited 23 May to add) I should probably point out that while which verb is correct is arguable, the story the reporter was narrating was in fact about a MP who wanted to pay tribute to Martin's long service, and "mark" is clearly what she was saying.
