Way, way, way, way , way before my time, but I hear talk of what Margaret Thatcher did to the UK. Liz Truss, of course, she totally destroyed the UK quicker and with more effect than Hitler in WWII (So the tagline went), so she'd be up there.

The economic downfall of the UK, you can dome of that at her feet.

@JasminD [quote]but she started a way of thinking that, sadly, is still going on.[/quote]

I don't think she did start it - she was just part of the zeitgeist. After the 3-day weeks in the 1970s many many people were angry by the country being held to ransom by the Union chiefs who were, largely, hypocrites. During my Student days in the West End of London my department used to use a drinking club called "the Marie Lloyd Luncheon Club" near Broadcasting House. The bosses of the NUM, for example, were frequently to be seen in there in the middle of the afternoon, totally pissed.

@ArtieKat Not a great look. Arthur Scargill attempted to use Right to Buy legislation in 1993 to obtain ownership of the flat he rented in the Barbican (currently valued at £1.8 million). He was turned down as it was not even his primary residence. He was still living there in the 2010s when the NUM were paying his annual rent of £35,000

@SunshineGirl There was one of the RMT or ASLEF bosses who tried something similar some years ago
No contest…the evil woman but you have left out Liz Truss!

@TheSirfurryanimalWales C'mon Furry, 49 days does not warrant a vote. 🤪

You forgot Liz Truss. Easy to miss I know.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@SW-User 7 weeks in office does not warrant a place in my poll. 🙂
SW-User
@Gusman Thank god it was so short. Just think what she'd have done in 7 years.

@mysteryespresso did I say i hated him?
@meggie you said bonking boris
meggie · F
@mysteryespresso i did not say i hated him. He was bonking Boris and probably will continue to be so.
helenS · 36-40, F
Maybe the worst is yet to come? 😏
Elessar · 26-30, M
@helenS Brutal, but honest
SW-User
Why have you not included Sunak!
Or Truss

Please don’t insult these other Prime Ministers


You cannot miss out all the Oxford Prime Ministers.
@SW-User what makes him bad
SW-User
@mysteryespresso I’m glad someone likes Britain today. You have a lovely sense of humour.
@SW-User care to explain?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
Liz Truss without a shadow of a doubt, closely followed by Boris.

I think Anthony Eden would be a plausible competitor also.
Maggie, I love ya, though you got castine balls,
And you're as hard as nails and cold as steel and you're in there, boots and all,

Oh but way out here it's lonely, so any ol' thing'll do,
And what you done to England, ha, I'd love to do to you, so Maggie.

It's wank, wank, money in the bank, this one's just for you,
Gusman · 61-69, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Exactly what I would call her to her face if I had the opportunity, -
Wanker

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Reminds me of The Post War Dream from The Final Cut
[quote]Tell me true
Tell me why was Jesus crucified?
Was it for this that Daddy died?

Was it you?
Was it me?
Did I watch too much TV?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?

If it wasn't for the nips
Being so good at building ships
The yards would still be open on the Clyde

And it can't be much fun for them
Beneath the rising sun
With all their kids committing suicide

What have we done?
Maggie, what have we done?
What have we done to England?

Should we shout?
Should we scream?
What happened to the post war dream?
Oh, Maggie, Maggie, what have we done? [/quote]

Britain, not England.
SW-User
@Burnley123 I checked my son's. It is a British Passport now, like the picture.
supersnipe · 61-69, M
@SW-User I renewed mine last year and it is a 'midnight blue' colour - almost black.
SW-User
@supersnipe It was more the wording I was interested in. It now says British Passport instead of United Kingdom.
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
Thatcher? Caused such social upheaval and harm to the North and in fact her action lowered the life expectancy of the region as compared to the South. Suicide, drugs, alcoholism....all as a result of her policies.
supersnipe · 61-69, M
You notably missed out Truss and Eden. The latter came too late in life to the job and his judgment was impaired by medical problems. Truss had no such excuses. Among other players were Heath and May, both introverts who were hobbled by a seeming inability to take advice and share decision making. Douglas-Home? 'Mr. 363 days'? He didn't really fit into the Beatle era.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Of those choices Thatcher by a slither but Truss probably given how she a crashed the economy so quickly
SW-User
And you have missed Douglas Hume and Eden.

They went to Oxford too you know.
Fairydust · F
You missed out klaus Schwab. 😬
SW-User
@Fairydust it does not bode well for Starmer, as he went to the same Oxford College as me 🫣

@SW-User m
He’s part of the WEF!
were there a Beter one ,😷
SW-User
@jackrabbit10 MacMillan , Attlee certainly.

And in wartime Churchill.
@SW-User forgot MR Churchill , I live in the U,S,A, we are in the same sink hole as most country's,
@SW-User never heard of the other two , have seen some old news clips on Chruchill, like the way he talked
Bumbles · 51-55, M
What about that one that was a head of lettuce?
wonkywinky · 51-55, M
Why not Theresa May?Shes up there too?
wonkywinky · 51-55, M
Sunak is missing?
JasminD · 22-25, F
@wonkywinky Sunak is ALWAYS missing! Lol!
Viper · M
No idea, but the one with the consistent messy hair and bad teef, surely did them no favors to throw that just see the politicians and don't actually pay attention to them...
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Gusman 🤔for me it a toss up between johnson and thatcher
Where is Liz , Rishi and Gordon?
SW-User
@InOtterWords we can forgive Gordon because he went to a Scottish University.
@SW-User nope

Maggie Thatcher without a doubt was the worst primeminister in our history. I'm not interested in arguing with anyone about this.
samanthaX · 41-45, T
Thatcher without a doubt.
