A letter to the editor I got published in the New York Post yesterday 5/20/13 quoting Cromwell and Amery

A letter to the editor I got published,in the New York Post,yesterday 5/20/13 quoting Cromwell and Amery.Here's what I wrote:Its time for a clean slate in Albany.
Somebody should say to Silver what L.S Amery said to Neville Chamberlain in Parliament when he quoted Oliver Cromwell:"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!"

Sheldon Silver is the very corrupt Speaker of New York State Assembly.

L.S Amery was the Right Hon. Leopold Amery.According to John Colville very fine book,"The Fringes of Power  10 Downing Street Diaries 1939-1955." Amery was newspaper man(the Times) worked there for ten years and then become an M.P for Birmingham in 1911.In World war One he become assistant secretary of war,then First Lord of the Admiralty,Sec.of State for the Colonies,for Dominions,and from 1940 to 1945 India.
Jack his elder son,according Colville who knew in school was charming fellow however, sometime went astray Jack become a fascist ,who in WW2 did propaganda from Italy and was hanged for treason after war.This is not Collville but Amery's were high society however Amery's mother was a Jew,which family try to hid,one wonders if this affect Jack,however,Amery's other son Julian was quite respectable,indeed, marry Harold Macmillan daughter and held several ministerial office.Also Julian try to save Jack from gallows
