HeadingNorth Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 All Prime ministers are remembered in history In historical record, yes; but very few ordinary people could tell you anything at all about Campbell-Bannermann, Lord North, and so on ... In 200 years' time, if the question is asked on some futuristic game show "Name as many 20th-century Prime Ministers as possible" how many will the average contestant get? Quite possibly, only two.

HeadingNorth Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 oh yes there was Margaret Thatcher:gag: History will record that Thatcher took a paralyzed, bankrupt, banana-republic economy and turned it into the fourth richest in the world. (It will, of course, also record that if any PM in the fifties, sixties and seventies had had the guts to take the necessary measures, they could have been achieved with perhaps 30,000 job losses, instead of three million...)

Jim Graham Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Gordon Brown has already gone down in history as our worst PM ever. It'll be a long time before he loses that accolade.......................unless Milliband gets elected. I suggest: Neil Armstrong Stephen Hawking Steve Redgrave Geoff Hurst Eric Clapton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, well that's your take on things, do you not think it far more likely that in a few decades time the only fact anyone will remember about her is that she was the first female prime minister of this country? There's enough people who'll write the history books with the opposite political slant to that which you have in order to muddy the waters on your points, the only thing everyone will be able to agree on is her gender.
