Who do you think is the best PM ever of the UK? I'd say Churchill. I'll add PMs to the poll as people say them.

I find his voice to be a bit annoying TBH. He should've said "Screw Hitler, we at war boi" and then played the 1812 Overture.oceanhawk wrote:

But doesnt beat Reagan... Left or Right, you gotta admit this is an unreal speech...
Reagan lead to dead troops in Beirut for nothing, I'm not listening to that for the same reason I didn't buy socks from Pakistan today (a lot of bonded labour in Pakistan, last I heard).oceanhawk wrote:

I'm late to the table, having just discovered this thread, but I felt compelled to comment anyway because I am a life-long Churchill fan and student of British history . . . . .
The simple question is not fair to either Churchill or a host of other British prime ministers who are also contenders for the honors. Strong cases can be made for Pitt, Disraeli, Gladstone, Lloyd George, and Thatcher as the "greatest" prime minister, but Churchill is undoubtedly the single most important war-time prime minister in British history, and having rallied not only Britain, the Empire and the Dominions with his defiant rhetoric and belief in the righteousness of western civilization after a series of defeats at the hands of Germans, he was responsible for keeping the Allied cause alive and in the fight until Britain was joined by the Soviets and Americans in the anti-N*zi crusade. He was a great man in every sense, including his occasional flaws of judgment and/or discretion, but a great man nonetheless. We shall not soon see his like again.
