Oliver Cromwell's Speech on the Dissolution of the Long Parliament

Given to the House of Commons

20 April 1653

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this

place, which you have dishonoured by your

contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every

vice; ye are a factious crew, and

enemies to 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 a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is

there one vice you do not possess? Ye have

no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of

you have not barter'd your conscience

for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least

care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred

place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den

of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked

practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the

whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get

grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone!

So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the

doors. In the name of God, go!

Its a terrible shame they've been caught out isnt it, haha, now what can they say to dole wallers or people who squeeze every penny out of the system, NOWT !!. They are the worst of the worst, just what you knew deep down when you hear them talk, they are on the make... its just a big CON. Everything MP's say is just a sham , once they get voted in all they do is toe the party line anyway! So whats the point... so they just mince around getting paid for doing @#$% all. To pass the time they claim outrageous expenses.

And its been going on for years! just because some details have come out about the last 5 years or so just imagine the amount thats been claimed in the long run...
