    The statue doesn't do him any favours. I don't think he would do very well on Tinder

      I don't think the Puritan version of Tinder is very popular... :-)

    I've just finished Antonia Fraser's biography of Cromwell. A complicated man in many ways, simple and direct in others. There were once schemes afoot by certain Royalists to remove his statue from Parliament Square, but the House prevailed in the end.
