Cromwell died. And his son’s ‘rule’ 1658-1660 was so unpopular that the monarchy was brought back by public request. The Puritan rule was muchj more oppressive than the monarchy had been.
You ARE aware that the ban on Wilders was overturned in the English courts and that he has visited the UK twice?.
Steyn is Canadian, is he not?.
Are we too PC?. Yes. But then so is the west. We have our problems, but we arent quite yet in the seventh circle of hell.
That is Tory revisionist history my friend. There is no way Puritan rule could have outdone the tyranny of the Charles and the fascist Anglican church of the time. Cromwell is judged by the Tory sentiment that is strong in Britain, but truly was a freedom lover. It is telling that the British love tyranny so much that they welcomed a Catholic pushing tyrant to come back and sit on their throne. Just couldn't get by without your “betters” telling you how to live your life? Steyn was British.
