#1 "Labo[u]r's post-war leader Clement Attlee has been voted the best UK prime minister who between 1945 and 1951 established the National Health Service (NHS) and welfare state."

Um... OK... so the one-term Labour leader (who was bumped out at the first opportunity to be replaced by Churchill - who could only compete with Thatcher as truly the best post-WWII PM), who sowed the seeds of future Labour governments and their gross over-spending on social programmes was the best? Rollocks: Attlee and Brown should be slugging it out at the bottom together.

Stupid academics.
