The Conservatives have shown themselves in their true light as backstabbers-----first with MT and now TM ! Not my kind of people at all.

I was going to say John Smith too Nandalot. He'd have made a great leader as he spoke sense. I was so sorry when he died.

Mrs Thatcher. Not so sure about Winston! Brilliant in war time, not so good in peacetime. General DeGaulle! He'd have kicked us out on day 1 !!!!!

William Pitt or Benjamin Disraeli, he was witty and amusing and so was his wife. They would add to the gaiety of the nation while providing good government. He would rings round Trump

Margaret Thatcher
Winston Churchill.
Some one with vision, authority and ruthlessness to deal with the ever-increasing insurrection.

Clement Attlee, undoubtedly led the greatest reforming peacetime government Briain has ever had.

Now, there is the man for our present problems, but sadly no longer with us.

Lord Palmerston. If I remember my history correctly, he was one of the best Foreign ministers this country ever had.
