Key quote: "The programme concluded by saying that Cromwell was indeed a supreme politician and a ruthless operator who didn’t shy away from violence to achieve his ends. But we should not forget he was also a great statesman and a man of principle who (...) forged a religious revolution and laid the foundations for our constitutional monarchy."
