And Churchill was a shite politician during peace time.
Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech

Re: Greatest Prime Minister of all time
I voted Jim Hacker for entertainment value.
Kagemusha, its not surprising you don't know any of them (although you should know John Major, TB's predecessor). Here's a bit of info:
Lord North: chum of George III who managed to lose those rebellious colonies in the 18th century
Spencer Perceval: Only PM ever to be assasinated
Ramsay Macdonald: His term lasted for a mere few months before losing power.
Jim Hacker: Prime Minister in the Yes, Prime Minister comedy series (n.b: did not exist in real life).

Of those on the list, Jim Hacker, for making me laugh. A lot.
"Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

Arthur Wellesley.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.
Re: Greatest Prime Minister of all time
Although Wellington is one of my ´great heroes, I don't think he was such a good Prime Minister, even though he did manage to get the Catholic Emanciapation through Parliament. He thought he could order other members of the Tory Party around like his aides and generals in the Peninsula.

Re: Greatest Prime Minister of all time
I may have it wrong, but wasn't North opposed to ticking off the Colonies (the future US)? But he had to do it anyway?
And Churchill would've been my vote, since he was great when it mattered - during the UK's struggle for survival.
Re: Greatest Prime Minister of all time
Major!!! I have posters of this heroic figure plastered all over the front of my house.
How he ever got re-elected....

Charles Grey. Abolished slavery in Brit holdings, and had a great tea named after him.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Greatest Prime Minister of all time
Disraeli, or Thatcher, one of those two (tounge not in cheek).
North was a complete arse for losing us the potentially most lucrative colonies we had (if we'd expanded Westwards like the US) and then setting a precedent for which the other colonies thought they could become independent, so he gets my vote. Silly man.
