No 80 is my favourite.

What about a mention for Ken Loach? His films are brilliant.

Naturally, I'm having a leftie #meltdown over Clement Attlee/Aneurin Bevan's no-show despite forming the NHS and all.

Don't get what Prince William's done to deserve the accolade yet. Sure his charitable work is fab, but hundreds of thousands do similar.

The Reynolds Girls are conspicuous in their absence too.

Liked it for atlee/ beaven. The Reynolds - no, no, no

Churchill was a bastard. But we were at war with a much bigger bastard and so a bastard was what was needed.

I wonder how the word bastard changed in terms of its usage from its original meaning to that of being like a really unpleasant person. I know several affable bastards.
