Clement Attlee

Could soon Be Alex Salmond!

Of course then we wouldn't be British!

[Sam Slater]

Gladstone or Wilberforce for me. Gladstone gave us the same voting rights as the upper classes while Wilberforce spent a good art of his political career trying to abolish the slave trade; both massive steps in individual freedom.

Steven Patrick Morrissey was visited in his home by MI5 over the writing of that song (fact!).

Meatus, check out 'Tramp The Dirt Down' by Elvis Costello.

Best political figures .. the unsung heroes .. the MPs who are there for people in the constituencies, who listen, and who do their best to act on what they hear and effect positive change on a local level.
