Matt 160 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I've got a book here of love letters between WSC and Clemmie. For a tough politician, he sure knew how to charm the Mrs......... Didn't his father die from VD? His mother certainly was a beauty (for a Yank). I would..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caprelous 217 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 A pretty disastrous peace-time PM, on the whole, but I don't think any of his contemporaries could have got us through the War, let alone secure victory. Really? You think so? He led us through the early part of the time that McMillan described as 'never had it so good'. Ended rationing (Atlee failed miserably to get production up enough), and did some other good stuff. Sadly, he was really passed it by then; Eden took over and made a mess of Suez. Personally, I think he would have made a good job of our post war recovery if he'd been given a chance. Sadly, the electorate believed the spin of the then Labour leader Atlee, much the same as they did with bLiar. Oh and without resurrecting the Thatcher thread, just a reminder that Wilson actually closed twice the number of coal mines that Thatcher did. Who wrecked british industry? Not Churchill or Thatcher in my opinion; Wilson and Heath are responsible for that. . Mat. Harold wilson won three general elections. Buried in private. In a little plot on the isle of wight a kind and genourous man brought down by every power of the real world rulers. No he isnt. He buried on the Isles of Scilly in a village cemetery thats is called NOWHERE on the ilse of St. Marys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
