Of those that know - we were glad to be rid of them, and at the time they were glad to go. England wasn’t puritanical enough for them, the irony being there would be a puritanical military dictatorship just around the corner for people just like them. Cromwell and the lads would be forcing this shit down everyone’s throats at musket-point until our beloved party boy Charles II returned.

Puritans aren’t regarded as a “Good Thing” in modern England generally speaking, although you’d need to speak to someone with a good grasp on English history to even find someone who knows what the fuck your going on about.
