Best: Margret Thatcher. I don't agree with everything she did, but she got more right than wrong.
Worst: Spoilt for choice here as they have all got more wrong than right, where we have been dreadfully ruled for all of the 20th and 21st centuries, which is why the country is only a shadow of its former self. I'm only taking prime ministers within my living memory.
1=. It must be McRuin Gordon Brown, very, very closely followed by BLiar Tony Blair: For not giving us a referendum on the Lisbon treaty, creating an unsustainable socialist client state, PC correctness and the ending of free speech through that dreadful Harman, mass migration, no runway expansion at London's airports, the war on motorists, bus lanes, M4 Vil lane, politicizing the civil service, doubling council tax, introducing flight and insurance taxes and 64 other new taxes, tax on job mobility through property stamp duty, business rates and social legislation to accelerate the decline of manufacturing, climate change and signing the damaging treaties and committing us to mass useless windmills, while ducking the issue of nuclear expansion, bank deregulation and bankrupting the country, to name but a small few of the measures they introduced that has so damaged the country, probably terminally in that they have put us on the road to our first sovereign default since 1600. Labour at the end of three terms have always run out of other peoples money.
3. Next it must be traitor and alleged kiddy fiddler Heath. For lying on his motives for taking us into the EEC (Google and read FCO 30/1048), giving in to the trade unions, 3 days week, money printing until inflation was out of control.
4. Then it is Wilson for allowing the consolidation of the left wing in the Labour party and unchecked union militancy, cancelling TSR2, nationalizing the aerospace and ship building industries so we are now only a bit part player in both.
5. This is closely followed by John Major for taking us into the ERM and the permanent damage he did to the economy, for pushing through the Maastricht treaty, despite much opposition, getting the Climate change bandwagon rolling with his fuel escalator and where he started the current expansion of public services, that McRuin zealously grew even more to get us where we are now.
6. Dithering Dave, for his abdication on saving the UK's economy, going back on his promise on a referendum on the Lisbon treaty, by concentrating on the irrelevant gay marriage, Lords reform, climate change windmills, not suspending Overseas Aid, so we would have borrowing £50bn less at the end of this parliament. Not rebalancing the economy through public services and tax cuts and putting the UK in the position that by 2015 there will probably be no way back from a sovereign default. For ignoring the Jeeves economists on this while Camoron, Clegg and Osborne act like three Woosters, or the three wise monkeys, see no crisis, hear no crisis, and speak no crisis. Schoolboys playing at being politicians.
