I am for Parliament. I know I am cause I was in kit in the background when they were talking about the Parliament army. I know it was fun.. but it was a bit dire perpetuating the myths although it did but I ring my daughter and say "Qiuck I'm on telly!". Sad but true

Before I got into ECW late last year I was always a royalist more for my current sympathies, rather than any particular conviction based on the time, My King right or wrong! Having started to research this period my disappointment in the duplicity and inflexible attitude of the King moved my sympathies more toward parliament. This did not survive furher reaading of the self serving politics of men like Holles, Manchester etc. It was a breath of fresh air to then read more detailed accounts of Sir Thomas Fairfax, and even Oliver Cromwell. Honesty and integrity at last! I am now for the Army. Long live the NMA!!!
