  • And now we have people like Ed Miliband...good god

  • @MrGilles1990 Cromwell was a religious fanatic. Any good he did was overridden by his attempted theocracy and religious zealotry. All dictators are the same. They feel fine telling others how to live. Cromwell was a great leader from a military stand point, but I'll pass on the theocracy.

  • @1Atomtan "One dictator is the same as all dictators in the end." Wrong, Cromwell was not corrupt like other dictator, and he was only doing what was best for England.

  • Oliver Cromwell then makes Norsefire the sole political party.

  • "Villains and godless self seeking ambitious tricksters, no more capable of conducting the affairs of this nation than you are of running a brothel" This speech could have been made in parliament today. It applies just as much today as it did then.

  • @1Atomtan, I tend to agree with your sentiment. But hey, in general, from what ever influence, England awaken! :-)

  • @IngyEnglishman England awaken indeed. However....I'll pass on having a theocracy where partying too much during Christmas could be punished. One dictator is the same as all dictators in the end.

  • godless self seeking ambitious tricksters ,best description of mp s i have ever heard ,this film changed my view on politics when i was a young man

    and truly proved that he was gods englishman as they have said of him

  • When Charles II was crowned Cromwell's body was dug up and his head stuck on a spike at Traitor's Gate at the Tower of London. The mace he threw on the floor is the same one in the House of Commons today. It still bears the dent Cromwell caused on it when he threw it to the floor.

  • It is inspiring to the English, giving confidence to be brave and make a stand for our rights against British rule but to do it in a more potent fashion next time and it would have more importantly had more significance to the Norman yolk as they would then be more aware of an English uprising when they push the enslavement too far i.e. more caution would be in effect after that rebellion and a fear of the English getting it right in the future would be there in the near future.
