i agree but i think people then wanted a different britain,their was alot of poverty pre-war and you had to pay to see a docter . the Labour Party and its allies in the media ran an effective propaganda war on the home front. They vilified members of the pre-war Conservative party as having been appeasers of Hitler, and of having been responsible for the failure to re-arm Britain. And they painted the 1930s in dismal colours as an era of poverty and mass unemployment. At the same time, they held out theprospect of a new social order that would ensure better housing, free medical services and employment for all i expect this vision won it for labour in 1945 even though churchill had a 78% approval rating himself.

churchill was a great wartime leader in those darkdays and warned the country of the dangers of hitlers facism and the soviet union communism . ,so i would say churchill would be was our greatest leader because of the freedoms enjoyed today followed by attlee who was in churchills government coalition 1940 to 1945. it seems since the 60,s to the present day we have had no giants has leaders. wilson and thatcher were small fry compared to those great leaders.

i smell something fishy :Dgoing on.

well we have to disagree and i leave it up to others if those achievements were not important and i find it hard to think of any british prime minster since the war (apart from churchill ) to have left a legacy like that in our history books.

maybe not to you but wikipedia differ the government he led put in place the post-war settlement, based upon the assumption that full employment would be maintained by Keynesian policies, and that a greatly enlarged system of social services would be created – aspirations that had been outlined in the wartime Beveridge Report. Within this context, his government undertook the nationalisation of major industries and public utilities as well as the creation of the National Health Service. After initial Conservative opposition to Keynesian fiscal policy, this settlement was broadly accepted by all parties[1] until Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party in the 1970s and neoliberalism became mainstream. His government also presided over the decolonisation of a large part of the British Empire when India, Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka and Jordan obtained their independence. The British Mandate of Palestine also came to an end with the creation of Israel on the day of British withdrawal. In 2004, he was voted the greatest British prime minister of the 20th century in a poll of 139 professors organised by MORI.[2]:Di think he are churchill were giants compared to the muppet leaders who have run this country since the 1960.s

i,ve been spending more time on pompey boards taking the micky and get usual abuse from the brain dead but some of the others give good banter:D

i agree but the bankers who got us in this mess our the same people cameron and his gang hobnob with on their yachts ,so all that will happen is more of the same for the next ten years and tax avoiders who do not live in this country such has lord ashcroft will want his payoff for funding them and then will be replaced by new labour again,the only guy i got any respect for is vince cable .

i don,t mind him posting on these boards has it would be a boring forum if it was just a saints fans love-in. plus i love how we can take the Micky out of his club.

i know how you feel,i,m just glad we had a club to support after all games that went on while we were in admin

why worry what he thinks hes unimportant,hes says what alot of fantastical toryboys say .

read your history books and see what they achieved compared to the idiots who have run this country since the 60.s to the present time.

i agree same thing happened under tories,they are all the same

its funny how the toffs come up with silly quotes when their was mass poverty,thank god we had a giant like atlee in those days and we got a nhs to be proud of.

i do not read the socialist worker i regard myself has independant and will vote for any party unlike the nutty right and left, but she made major mistakes in policy such has a overvalued pound which gave a large part of our manfacturing to germany and she had the benefit of north sea oil which she waisted on mass unemployment .she will only be remembered has the first women prime minster in the history books and a devisive figure. milton friedman anybody her guru at the time,did not believe in regulation but the free markets.

see how he left out thatcher who started the casino economy while destroying manafacturing and her son blair carried on her policys.

:rolleyes:are you that simple you make me laugh when you started about lefties,who are they ? are bankers lefties or the great fraudster Bernard Madoff . it was the free market unregulated around the world which caused the collapse just like the 1930,s.

and another to rule out all that claptrap and conservative is great rubbish when the banks caused a worldwide collapse. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/iceland/4348312/Financial-crisis-causes-Icelands-government-to-collapse.html

you must have heard that saints fans are all studs:D

they are has good has out now. no o,hara for semis

its no surprise to me i expect he runs down this great country every chance he gets,we are still one of the richest countrys in the world.

i agree ,he,s to sharp for the torys and labour party.

once again it was the bankers Voters not worried about IMF, EU On the basis of results coming in Sunday, many voters appear to have paid little heed to warnings that without the debt repayment agreement, Iceland will be unable to raise loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or succeed in a bid for fast-track membership of the European Union. On the other hand, a large portion of voters viewed the deal as an unfair result of their own government's failure to curtail the recklessness of a handful of bank executives, including those who expanded operations to seduce British and Dutch customers with generous returns from online savings.

roll on next week to see what happens in the latest pompey farce,i.m loving it

no it collapsed because of their banks .

i think you are a dreamer their are no Socialists in power,or do you think cameron (blair mark 2) is a socialist to:rolleyes:
