I think the division is merely into people who know about British history and people who don't. We had a civil war which ended when we chopped our king's head

I think the division is merely into people who know about British history and people who don't.
We had a civil war which ended when we chopped our king's head off and replaced the government. That has to count as a "revolutionary moment" or the phrase has no meaning.

I think the radicalness of their speech was only matched on the Continent from the mid-19th century onward.
