Sounds like a hoot!

Clement Atlee was THE best PM ever followed by Harold Wilson then James Callaghan.

James Callaghan was a liar. He promised a coalition with the Lib Dems to bring devoultion and he failed to deliver. Whilst the Winter of Discontent was taking place his attitude was "crisis? What Crisis?". So came 18 years of Tory rule.

And you're listening to BBC Parliament. Flick forward a channel for CNBC, where they put up pointless stats none of us understand.

True, that's why he's third on my list above Bliar. Sorry, Blair

The thing with Blair is he does actually genuinely care, i actually trust him. Bob geldof speaking after G8, said that Blair wants aid to Africa more than any other of the leaders.

I don't trust Blair nor do I agree that he genuinely cares, but I do think his efforts in Africa should be lauded, even if they are far short of sufficient for me.

That's in a 3 and a half million pound house while the real workers are struggling to pay their mortgages, and 1st time buyer's have no hope of getting on the property ladder. When he came into power the 1st thing he did was raise taxes. This was the 1st thing he promised he would not do. He has lied all the way. Brown will be no better.
