Ronnie always delivers the best.

[@robertr7569]

Always found details of history in school difficult as a boy. Would have been quite different if we had lecturers such as prof Ronald Hutton. Really enjoyed this lecture.

[@missmaryhdream6560]

Hat is off to you sir, brilliant

This is the first talk I’ve listened to about Oliver Cromwell ever and I was not expecting all of those well-placed pop culture references to liven-up the subject matter without trivialising it. Cool! Though wow this was weeks before the first lockdown and I hope that chest infection wasn’t COVID. 😢

Excellent x

[@cbloom1991]

[@THINKincessantly]

The cultural enrichment from Jamaica 😁

[@martind349]

I can't quite recall when this evolution with which the speaker closes occured in Cromwell's carreer. Floppy white lillies of thanks for a fine lecture to the liberal professor.

[@bobwebb1348]

Summary: if Cromwell asks others to decide, he's wrong. If he dictates, he's also wrong. No wonder he lost his rag.

[@patrickevans8482]

Excellent insight to Cromwell the man. But a pity you didn't mention his time in Ireland!

[@ProfileP246]

It was a fruitful campaign.

[@thejoin4687]

Ireland was first among the "worse" in the "for better or worse".

[@Stupidityindex]

There are no barbers on the Dalek home world.

[@andrewryanwasright]

This is a harsh appraisal of Cromwell, but I think it makes the case he was the first truly modern British politician, even more deserving of that title than Walpole.

[@Celticcross688]

Cromwell was English not British..

[@DC_92]

His whole family lineage was Welsh but yeah go on…

[@KarlKarsnark]

I think the good doctor needs clarification on what the word "achievement" means.

[@carahome]

A fascinating tale of a bumbling megalomaniac. I recognize many parallels to modern day U.S. ruminations.

[@OriginalMudSlinger]

udk

[@victorblack6995]

Sounds to me like maybe Hutton's forebearers were some of the defeated Cavaliers perhaps??? It's time to let 1651 go!

BILL STICKERS IS INNOCENT!

[@mauricebryant6101]
