Why Late 20thC UK PM's Do You Hate?

Going by the base, low vibrational energy of "Hate" and using my birth year, despite most of you clearly being older...

I remember what Alexei Sayle said, "have you noticed how every Prime Minister has made the last one seem not so bad after all? How Wilson made Heath seem not so bad, Callaghan made Wilson seem not so bad and now Thatcher has made Callaghan seem not so bad.  Blimey! Whats the next Prime minister going to have to be like to make Thatcher seem not so bad after all?"
And amazingly they actually managed to replace that terrible woman with someone even worse. It was inconceivable at the time that anyone could be worse than that monster Thatcher, but Major turned out to be even worse.  
He was responsible for breaking up and destroying British Rail which was the most efficent  nationalised railway on the planet (yes really) and replaced it by an unworkable mess. He lied on the radio when he said that the British Railways Board was deeply innefiecient, which was of course bollocks.   The 1993 Railways act was surely the most apalling and unneccesary piece of legislation for decades.  Ofr course British Rail wasn't perfect  especially in its early days with the flawed modernistation plan, but after Sectoristation in 1982 it became an extremely effiecent organisation. Major undid a lot of the good work that Clement Atlee did.

I hate to be pedantic, but Brown and Cameron are 21st century PM's. Plus, Cleggers was only Deputy Dawg.

To answer the question, in terms of being utterly and hopelessly incompetent, Major probably took the prize. Having said that, there is not one of them worth a masturbatory glance at all.

No time for any of them to be honest, apart from Wilson but that's only because I'm too young to remember him.

Politics is showbiz for ugly people.

till you can say you uncorked a stinker upon the world like we did with Dubya.. you all should appreciate your mediocre brand of mediocrity. In America we do it better.. until we don't.. then we really screw the pooch...

Before that happened everyone was thinking "THE MAN IS A MORON!" and after 9/11, everyone thought "Oh that's terrible! And what's worse... their president is still a moron!!" So there's hope for Trump yet!

lmao.  No doubt man.  I'm amazed by the number of people that write him off.  Since when has good understand of issues and competence mattered a damn to the electorate here.

I'm angry.. so f**k it ..burn the bitch down. Who cares if he is barely qualified to run a business... much less a country.

He has twice the brains of dubya, twice the charisma, and thus is ..hmmm  16 times more dangerous.

Hillary runs roughshod over the others in that field..

 but Trump?  Who knows.  The bounds of stupidity of the American electorate has yet to have bottomed out I'm afraid. 

the pols Ian? or the electorate. It isn't the pols.. they are just vote chasers..canned soundbites to pander for votes and often to the loonies to tell them what they want to hear... it is the loony electorate who make the nutty pols. Not the other way around. 

I still shake my head in disbelieve in this age of supposed enlightenment and you have politicians discussing deporting or not allowing people in based on their religion.

especially here... the land of freedom and opportunity... the refuge for the persecuted and those that want a better life.

hello.. this is the goddamned United States of America. or was at least.  

some times I feel as this country has forgotten that.. and just what the foundations this country was based upon actually were.

yeah... I can see that.. and agree with that.
