about the British Civil Wars and the miserable rule of Oliver Cromwell that got people so disgusted with an incompetent and repressive theocracy that the Restoration (which did most people little good except get rid of the Presbyterians in a lot of the chapels) was done quickly and almost as an afterthought.

A palate cleanser is "Rude Britannia," a series about hundreds of years of scurrilous political art, music, and popular culture that makes me feel like a rank amateur even on sites that haven't had language prissified by the resident SJWs. I can no longer really let fly here.

You Tube is an amazing place and one I've had to rely on heavily since TCM started to suck.
