In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to… speak.

False - the Speaker of the House does in fact speak; otherwise the speaker would not be able to accomplish the task bestowed upon them.  The speaker’s task is to remain impartial and moderate the discussion.  Interestingly, @OMGFacts’ own link contradicts the claim.

original claim: @OMGFacts; source: wikipedia
