The use of "In the name of God, go" is a phrase in British politics, dating from the era of the English Civil War.[1] The phrase was first used by Oliver Cromwell in the 17th Century.[2]
In the Norway Debate in May 1940, Leo Amery said "In the name of God, go" to Neville Chamberlain.[4] Amery repeated Oliver Cromwell's words on 20 April 1653 to the Long Parliament,[5] "You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!".[6]
