Airstrip One

Iain Murray has highlighted an article in the Times on the best king of England. I hate to say "me too" but I'm in agreement on the no-nonsense Henry VII, a good example of how modernisation (ending feudalism) can work - and a man who saw war as a waste of money.

Far better than the jumped up Colonel Cromwell with his needless wars and Henry's spendthrift, schismatic and self-indulgent son.
