Keith Waterhouse in The Mail.

Hard talk

I am amazed that in all the clamour for Tony's resignation, no one, to my knowledge, has yet quoted Oliver Cromwell's classic rebuke to the Rump Parliament of 1653: "You have sat here too long for the good you do. In the name of God, go!"

There is some classic invective and abuse to be trawled from that famous rant: "Ye are a factious crew and enemies of all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches and would, like Esau, sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas, betray your God for a few pieces of money.

"Is there one vice that you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse! Ye sordid prostitutes! Have you not defiled this sacred place and turned it into a den of thieves? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation."
