But that was driven by narrow self-interest wasn't it? Did he talk about the future development of the republic or just the here and now? Genuine question.chabal said:gordondaviesmoustache said:I'm interested. Go on......chabal said:Great British political visionary.
At a stroke he introduced the concept of republicanism.
The concept of the divinity of kings never properly took hold again in this country.

If you look at his speeches both within parliament and outside of it you will find a conflation of both immediate/topical interests as well as conceptual/strategic thinking.
Ultimately he did not govern well but his notion of a kingdom without a king has proved successful.

I'll get my Ouija board out tomorrow and see if I can contact him, I'm willing to fight him in his own back(grave)yard.

Give me a one on one with Jimmy Saville. I'd sort him right out.
And then we could have a fight after when he was tired.

What makes you think Elvis is up there?
I'm pretty sure he's still alive and well living on an island somewhere.
