  • The best PM we've had. He was what a Labour politician should be: in favour of the workers, fairness (i.e. people genuinely in trouble and unable to work being helped, not to mention implementing the Beveridge report that eventually brought us the NHS) and true to his word. He was radical and helped shape the good things about this country that still play a prominent part today. He built us the new Jerusalem and was all substance.

  • I am sure you will all be happy to hear RichardElden's account has been disabled by YouTube. That disgraceful excuse for a human being shall trouble us no more.

  • @KennBurch Hahahahaha nice

  • @MrGann88 Well said.

  • @RichardElden Did your mother find out what you did to small animals as a child?

  • @naizret that's a pretty harsh thing to say about discharges and anuses.

  • @RichardElden Do you read David Irving while wanking, by any chance? 

  • @RichardElden The Empire had to end. The time when such things could be sustained was over.

    And no nation has a right to turn any other nation into its colony anyway.

  • @RichardElden Painted before or after he went mad?

  • @RichardElden If he was, so what? That had no bearing on his policies. Any British prime minister of that era would have accepted that it was going to be impossible to carry on trying to be an Empire. It's not as if only a gay man could have come to that conclusion. And it's not as if there'd never been any gay imperialists, to look at the other side of the coin. Look at Cecil Rhodes, for a start.

  • @RichardElden Evil? WHAT evil? The theft of land, resources, and human dignity to build any Empire is the true evil. Neither Britain, France, Germany, Belgium or "Austria-Hungary" had any right to take the rest of the world by force as their own private property.

    No people has the right to subjugate any other people.
