ESSENCE OF PARLIAMENT.
(Extracted From The Diary Of Toby, M.P.)
House of Commons, Monday, 23rd November.—Dull sitting suddenly stirred to excitement by Apparition in Khaki starting up from below Gangway on Ministerial Side. It was Wedgewood (sans Benn). Wanted to know what advice Government are prepared to give civil population as to how they ought to behave in event of German invasion.
"Are they," asked the warlike Wedgewood, "to take it lying down and let the Germans walk over them? or shall they make the best possible stand for their country?"
From above Gangway in neighbourhood of Leif Jones' seat came tremulous voice exclaiming, "Fight!"
Mr. Tennant. "Our duty is to drive the invader into the sea."
