Try the dictionary. :nigel:

 

Who is the dictionary prime minister?  That doesn't make sense.

 

But in case you were being:

 

1. of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above average.
 
  
2. of ability, quality, or eminence considerably above average.
 
 
So I'm guessing ability or quality or eminence. 
 
 
I doubt it's eminence but if it is then I'll say Winston Churchill.
 
 
If it's quality or ability then we certainly need a qualification as their are many different qualities or abilities that could be compared.

Why is Churchill on there? Pretty sure he was last PM before 65 years ago.

 

I genuinely despair at anybody seriously voting for Blair, he's one of the worst PMs ever and a war criminal.

 

Edit: Thanks for correcting me that Churchill was re-elected in 1951-55, never knew that.

Fairly certain that if you look back over each of the PMs listed there with any decent level of historic scrunity, that each one has a lovely little war crime under their belt.

How can people say that and vote Thatcher, the woman who hid paedophiles, protected police officers who had caused the death of 96 liverpool fans, ordered the sinking of the Belgrano, the brutal dictators she & Reagan supported and all of the people she ****ed over in cities like Liverpool.

65 years ago is 1950, Churchill won the election that year.

He was PM twice....

I really don't think you should be on this thread if you didn't know Churchill was PM 1940-45 then again 1951-55

She didn't actually directly order the Belgrano to be attacked in the situation it was in, 

The initial rule was if the any enemy fleet were within the border set out, they are liable to be attacked... The Belgrano entered those waters, the argument is that the Belgrano at the time was going AWAY from the waters, but if so would have been facing 60 degrees away.

 

These were clear rules set out from the start, What do you think would have happened if the news came back that the Belgrano was in our waters, and we let it go, then it came and sunk one of our ships?

 

This is the ENEMY we are talking about.... The enemy who'd damaged/sunk 22 of our ships

Yet you voted for Thatcher. 

 

Understand she guided us through the Falklands but I'm from a Northern mining town which she totally killed along with many other areas.
