Britain doesn't have presidents - it has Prime Ministers.  In the 1960's there were three:  Harold MacMillan from 1957-1963, Alec Douglas-Home from 1963-1964, and Harold Wilson from 1964-1970.

Like all English schoolchildren of the 1950's I was brought up to have an immoveable respect for the Royal Family, 'King and Country' and so on. When the old king died I remember us kids being taken to watch the funeral cortege go by. The coffin was carried on a gun carriage and it rained. A few months later we were taken to the same spot to watch Princess Elizabeth go by in the Royal coach to be crowned queen. We were all given Union Flags to wave and received a Coronation Mug. I lost mine. Later we had street parties with sandwiches and jelly and, guess what? it rained again.\n\nIn those days the institution of the Royal Family was sacrosanct with not a hint or whsiper of scandal or wrongdoing until the late 1950's when it started with Princess Margaret having an affair with a married man, Group Captain Peter Townsend. That was soon hushed up and she ended up marrying Anthony Armstrong Jones, an arranged marriage if ever there was one.\n\nAs time went by and old traditions and protocols started to vanish it became apparent that the Royal family were not the 'whiter than white' exemplary characters we had been led to believe and since those days there have been many sordid revelations and scandals that have tarnished the Royals forever.\n\nPrince Philip (Phil the Greek) comes across as an arrogant despot who loves to throw his weight about and cares about no-one except himself manging to have insuleted most of the world's leaders at one time or another. He, singlehandedly, managed to ostracise Canada, Australia, India and Hong Kong so that all of them and much of Africa broke away from British rule.\n\nPrincess Margaret came across as a gin-swilling, chain smoking good time girl who would party until the small hours, often drunk, and escorted by a variety of 'gentlemen'.\n\nPrince Charles came across as a bit of a wimp whose main hobby seemed to be talking to plants and bedding as many women as he could.\n\nPrincess Anne came across with an arrogance that can only be described as unique and loved nothing but horses. To her credit she was the hardest working Royal, if you can call it work, attending more functions that any other.\n\nRrince Andrew was the original good time charlie who spent much of his time in nightclubs, drinking and womanising and running up more expenses than any of the others. How can you justify having the Royal jet fly him from London to Scotland for a night out at a cost of £20000 to the taxpayer?\n\nPrince Edward came across as a bit of a nancy boy preferring to spend his time with actors and producers and it was widely assumed that he was homosexual until his marriage to Sophie. Some of us still wonder.\n\nThen there's the spouses. Sarah Ferguson married Andrew having been  living with a rally driver for a number of years and proved to be the good time that had been had by all, spending like there was no tomorrow and generally being an embarrassment.\n\nCharles married Diana, the girl who didn't seem to have a single brain cell until Charlie dumped her and her publicity machine created the 'Saint Diana' image. I'm sorry she died but I, personally, had no time for her.\n\nAnne had a variety of husbands starting with Captain Mark Phillips who famously hid behind her when someone attacked her car as it drove down the Mall. He was dumped for the present incumbant who probably likes horses better than he did.\n\nFinally the queen. She comes across as very aloof and money grasping. She is well known for being a skinflint paying her staff the smallest wages in London yet being the wealthiest woman in the world. She shows no emotion at all except to smile when she is cheered.\n\nthere are many other peripheral members of the family all of whom live in wealth and privelege just for being born into the family of Germans who usurped the British throne 200 years ago.\nPersonally I now think we'd be better off without the whole rotten mess of them but th

The reshuffle was instigated way before Prescott's and Clarke's miseries. It wouldn't have helped just to sack Prescott (which Blair didn't anyway) - Blair NEED to do something on education and the NHS, and he MUST do something on foreign affairs and Europe - hence the major reshuffle!

FDR he was a bit on the liberal side at the begining of his term but when he was confronted with the beginings of WW2 he did the right thing and suported the british when no one else would and he did some contraversial things like move our teritorial waters out to 400 miles so that our coust guard could do somthing about the U boats sinking our transports. He was just what we needed at the time and no other president did more for the country or the world than he did.

Do you know he died in the 1960's? He was shot while giving a speech. He was very radical on the left, but so was i back then. I was watching the assassination live on TV that night, I cried hard, but not as hard as when his brother was shot.

I agree wholeheartedly. Whether or not Bush is doing a good job, and he isn't, he should be the least of Britain's concern. Last I heard, Tony Blair wasn't any better, so they need not complain about our government. Plus, we're actually being affected. They have no idea personally what it feels like to have a man like Bush in power.

Women have "ruled" in the past and will "rule" in future. Example, Mrs. Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India for several yrs. and got re-elected a few times; likewise Sri Lanka had female PM/or President. Margaret Thatcher of England. The list can go on & on.  Strangely enough the world's superpower USA is yet to see a woman as the Commander-in-Chief. I would like to see that in my lifetime which unfortunately seems like a remote possibility.

I think the Britain of Churchill's era was pretty great.  What I don't understand is how the brave and amazing people of the UK can roll over and let themselves be trampled by political correctness and blatantly hostile cultures taking root in their very midst.  I love my cousins across the pond, but I fear for your future.
