With Tony Blair's impending departure and Gordon Brown's impending arrival, who do you think was the greatest British PM in history? |
| brian-harold-may 26643 17.05.2007 13:45 |
well obviously not Tony Blair( he pretty much screwed the county forever), but im sure churchill is up there for obvious reasons. |
| Mr.Jingles 17.05.2007 13:54 |
Adam Sutler |

Three of the worst words ever uttered by a prime minister= open door policy! |

Winston Churchill |

Spencer Perceval is my idiot answer. Winston Churchill my more serious answer. |

Churchill gets my vote. |

I reckon Churchill too. The Iron Lady seemed a bit scary, there was a reason good ol David Lange told her not to "forget her broomstick" hehe. |

You daft bastards. Course its Churchill. If Johnny Foreigner didn't surrender at the first sign of a Bratwurst he wouldn't have needed to save Europe. |

Sir Archie Leach wrote: You daft bastards. Course its Churchill. If Johnny Foreigner didn't surrender at the first sign of a Bratwurst he wouldn't have needed to save Europe.Ah, right. So apart from the fact that Britain was helpless without: a) the supply-convoys from the US right down from the first days in '40 b) the Red Army in the east c) the Free French in North Africa d) the Americans to make sure you could hold on to your island, and actually get off it Well, yes, apart from that, you are almost right. Then, I would like to point out how hard the Belgians fought, to name but one of the peoples who resisted, AND I would like to point out that it was also your country that sold Chechoslowakia to Adolf. |
| Sir Archie Leach 31.05.2007 19:28 |
I think you'll find it wasn't my country that sold 'Chechoslowakia' (wherever that may be) down the swanny. Who brokered deals to keep supplies coming to Britain and Russia from the US? Who made sure victory in Europe was seen as the priority (although God knows why)rather than the Pacific? Who urged on the Americans to take Berlin before the Russians got to it, for fear of the consequences? First Honourary Citizen of the US anybody? I don't think it was Hercule Poirot or Tin Tin, although you probably know otherwise. |

Tin Tin is the worst thing to come out of France. |
