History

I have just been reading one of C. J. Sansom's 'Shardlake' books, an excellent read. It set me thinking about British history.

Possibly the two most important events in our post-Roman history were the Norman Conquest and the Reformation. These two events made this country what it is today: a Godless, money obsessed, inequitable society where drunkenness and violence are ubiquitous.

Thank you to William the Bastard & fat syphilitic Henry, two of the most nasty gits in a long succession of evil English Kings. Great adverts for republicanism both.
