The inept Chamberlain government had just lost a winnable Norway campaign to Germany.
Amery responded with a blistering attack on the incompetence of the conservative Chamberlain administration by quoting Oliver Cromwell's hallmark 1653 order to the Long Parliament: "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."
Three days later after Amery's speech and the invasion of France, an ill Chamberlain and most of his advisors resigned.
Churchill became prime minister.
The rest is history.
We need a voice like Amery's.
We need a voice like Amery's.
Like Britain from 1939 to 1940, America is in existential danger...
