>>>The best 20th century peace time prime minister was without doubt Clement Atlee and his cabinet had a few heroes<<<

Like hell. Don't get us started on that fool Stafford Cripps [sorry SIR Stafford], whose conviction that socialism must always = misery was epitomised [again!] in his concept of 'austerity' with which he carried Attlee & all his cabinet colleagues. We DIDN'T 'NEED' continuation of rationing & shortages after the war was over. It was just that this sadistic, doctrinaire fool thought they would be GOOD for us, may he rot in hell for ever; so we all had to suffer shortages & misery & discontent while the rest of Europe [incl our notionally 'conquered' enemies] were living the life or riley. That is what has made the name of 'socialism' stink in the nostrils of the British people to this day ~~ why do you think that Labour has to be 'New' these days, & that no Labour government has ever lasted more than one-&-a-bit terms? Where do you think the cliché about how we 'won the war but lost the peace' came from?

Attlee! Cripps!! Vomit!!!
