Speak for England, Arthur

Went to see 40 Years On by Alan Bennett.

Full of very clever wordplay and jokes. Most of which I've already forgotten.

"If you rely on the toilet for your humour then the writing is on the wall."

And one for boldsans:
"Swearing shows a lack of vocabulary."
Wonder what she'll say?

Arthur Greenwood CH (8 February 1880 - 9 June 1954) was a prominent member of the Labour Party from the 1920s until the late 1940s.
Greenwood became deputy leader of the Labour Party under Clement Attlee. Arguably his most famous moment came on September 2, 1939 when, acting for an absent Attlee, he was called to respond to Neville Chamberlain's ambivalent speech on whether Britain would aid Poland. Preparing to respond, he was interrupted by an angry Conservative backbencher, Leo Amery, who exclaimed
"Speak for England, Arthur!"
