[Politics] Worst British Prime Minister in History

[Beach Hut]

Thought Thatcher would be more unpopular than Cameron given one moron decided to write a poem to celebrate her death

 

[Saunders]

Neville Chamberlain has to be up there

We really dont learn from history do we...

Gordon Brown, destroyed the economy (LOOK at the GDP figures), lied to the country about the Lisbon treaty, Sold off the countries gold reserves for a pittance. Made Blair look vaguely competent.

Gordon Brown "destroyed the economy"? No big fan of his, but I think there might just have been some other factors that affected the UK's GDP figures.

You know, one in particular, if you think... really hard....

All of them apart from Margaret Thatcher...

3 people voted John Major.

I mean honestly, I'm no Tory but what did he do that was so wrong to even have him getting any votes compared to others in this list? Start a massive investment in school infrastructure programme? Instigate a steady and sustained economic recovery? Won a staggering and record breaking 14m votes to win an election? His foresight in ensuring our concessions in the Maastricht Treaty?

Tory bashing only please on this thread!

Your Brexit comments on the other thread now make perfect sense. I'll just leave it now.

It's PM bashing, please.

I've never voted Tory but I'll not have people slagging Major off as a PM or a bloke. Always had time for him despite disagreeing with many of his policies.

Slipping a length to Edwina Currie being one of them!

 

[jasetheace]

Theresa May saved here by dint of being an irrelevance!

Compared to the last two PMs. I'd have Blair back like a shot.

Cameron - ****ed the country through cowardice
May - ****ed the country through incompetence and her hatred of the poor
Thatcher - ****ed the country through greed and her hatred of the poor
Chamberlain - almost ****ed the country through cowardice

I think Chamberlain's getting a bum deal here. It's all very well talking about appeasement being a big mistake but it was a policy that was supported by the vast bulk of the Tory and Labour parties (and the people too, there was no great appetite for war among the population). There were prominent voices against appeasement - Churchill and Michael Foot, for example - but there weren't many.

In fact, when Chamberlain did increase defence spending, as Chancellor, his policy was criticised by Labour as a completely unnecessary policy and a waste of money. You have to remember that the UK was in a parlous financial state in the 30s (thanks in good part to Churchill's disastrous stint as Chancellor) and there was little opportunity to spend money.

He's remembered for the piece of paper but it's Chamberlain we have to thank for paid holidays and for doing much to improve housing.

Fair play, I have been schooled and happy to be so. Thank you.

I think May’s ministerial history of trying to abolish the human rights act is verging in evil. Luckily she’s an incompetent ****wit and has never been able to put this through.
