'I'm a monarchist but
I believe that the greatest Briton ever was Oliver Cromwell, a Republican
revolutionary who killed the King. Why?
Because he was an ordinary man with a passion for this country. When
Britain stood on the verge of anarchy he emerged from
obscurity to help give us Parliamentary democracy - our proudest achievement
ever
. Not bad for a Fenland
farmer.'
