Royalist or Roundhead?

Well, the Roundheads buggered up Christmas and didn't hold with the equivalent of folk clubs in their day, whilst the Royalists wore much fancier nice clothes and took pride in their appearance. Scrubbed up well, according to the art galleries.

Anyway, Cromwell paid himself far more than Charles I claimed as a stipend.

In The Indescribablyboring this morning, (the only free on line iPhone newspaper app) there was a letter that agreed that a President where politicians are barred from being appointed seemed a good idea. Also agreed that President Attenborough had a nice ring to it. But President Clarkson?

That's the problem with ruddy democracy. The best system we have but used by gullible impressionable people, or the population as we call them. (Even the Trots can vote apparently.)
