At least when Hitler failed he had the sense to shut up.

Re: The Worst Prime Ministers This Country Has Had.

Seriously? wouldn't it be easier to pick a mediocre Prime Minister? (there haven't been any good ones)

Look at the competition for worst...

Macmillan ("You've never had it so good"? what a dill)
Eden
Douglas-Hume (how he was ever allowed to be put in charge of anything more complicated than a bicycle is beyond me)

What a bunch of nobodys they were; what did any of them achieve?

Then there was:

Heath & Wilson

The former totally useless the latter nearly as useless.

Eventually Thatcher who destroyed the social cohesion of the country.

Personally I think that since the war Britain has been a nation of lions led by donkeys no wonder you are in the mess you are in now you didn't deserve the so called leaders you ended up with who had absolutely no vision for the country whatsoever.

Re: The Worst Prime Ministers This Country Has Had.

It's why we are in such a mess now. Suddenly they are expected to do something they are incapable of. Not just the PM but the whole bloody lot of the them. They are like a load of children that have never left the classroom, so know nothing about the outside world.

The one thing you can say about Thatcher (I was not a fan at the time) is that she was never mediocre. Her downfall was the poll tax but other than that, she always put Britain first and sadly that has not happened since.
