Reading this.

And so reading is the thing I love doing.

And it's obviously nothing to do with what's happening the rest of my life that day.

And then it's understanding history and concepts of things.

Well, also, it's making me really, I mean, I'm reading the stuff about Cromwell and Ireland.

yeah and talk about complicated leadership also the the question of the debate with the levellers the stuff that partly partly church debates but also burford and then the force march and then what they did in ireland with the and the way he falsified the figures of the number of people that have been killed and wrote these

insane letters which was presumably taken by a special messenger back to be read out in Parliament.

It was actually just whole-scale murder against the Irish people by Cromwell and his forces.

I know.

We have Cromwell Road, Cromwell Green, Cromwell this, Cromwell that.

Hang on a minute.

Now, yes, he was the lucky leader of the parliamentary forces.

He was not the founder of it.

The one we should be venerating is John Lilburn.

Who?

John Lilburn.

Exactly.

The fellow we haven't heard of.

The leader of the Levellers.

Oh.
