[00:07.82]Not much given to earthquakes and revolutions.
[00:12.62]But there are times and places when history, British history
[00:17.16]Comes at you with a rush, violent, decisive, bloody
[00:21.78]- a truckload of trouble knocking you down
[00:24.55]Wiping out everything that gives you your bearings in the world:

[00:53.47]And another kind of England was set up in its place.
