A genuine laugh out loud idiot. I still cant believe he became most powerful man in the world. Utterly terrifying.

For me, the most dangerous man in Britain right now. An absolute lunatic.

Bevan was right though. It's not about your record. It's about what you plan to do in the future. The country was on its knees. There had just been a great leveler of men and there was an opportunity to basically build not only the country, but society from scratch. The social reforms and the welfare state must've been very appealing to the nation back then. They weren't to the Tories.
Having been in coalition with Labour for much of the war, Churchill announced that Labour would have to "fall back on some form of a Gestapo" to impose this type of socialism on Britain. guess what - Landslide.

Totally agree - however consider this.
Ed Miliband forms a minority Government, Boris takes over leadership of the Conservatives. No-one other than the Tories are going to call a confidence vote in fear of having this lunatic in charge of the country.
Unwittingly he may be our saviour (for the next 5 years)

A calculating and nasty piece of work by all accounts, regardless of his bumbling/amiable public persona.The worst is yet to come...

He went up against Livingston, who is every bit the tosser Johnson is. Getting the mayoral vote is pure character politics, so the Tories stuffed Johnson in line for it.
He's a terrifying proposition for PM.

...and three years after he was kicked out of office because people had long memories of what a nasty piece of work he was in peacetime.

Never really thought about it. But am curious how he actually did as mayor.
Basically Tim Sherwood. Perfect wartime PM, but do you hell want him in the long term.

He's actually a very bright bloke and is well regarded by civil servants and plenty of high ranking businessmen.
So the current recession (presided over by Labour) was a global problem that we had little control or influence over? Yet the Great Depression, which was presided over by the very first Labour government, was actually the fault of the Tories?The amount of history that's been revised in the last hour has been quite something. It's worth remembering how brutal that crash was though. A whole lot worse than the current one, despite early fears that 2010 would be at least as bad.

...an accident waiting to happen yet so many are taken in by him. Saying that, London voters elected him and seem content with his record.
