00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:07,250
but I'd leave one in 1945 tipped

00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:11,280
Churchill out on to his well upholstered

00:00:07,250 --> 00:00:16,020
posterior and began to change britain in

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,359
ways that remain extant today absolutely

5
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:22,230
and it was in many ways an unlikely

6
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:23,910
victory if one were to look at 1935 when

7
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:26,730
Atlee became the leader of a Labour

8
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:29,279
Party that was beaten and broken by the

9
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:31,769
ratting of Ramsay MacDonald to a

10
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:34,950
national government after which he was

11
00:00:31,769 --> 00:00:37,320
expelled from labour never to return but

12
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:39,600
oddly worked steadily and quietly to

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,030
rebuild the party from the mid 1930s

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,480
onward and when he got into government

15
00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:48,239
in 1945 the most understated man in

16
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:51,629
Britain perhaps was able to affect

17
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:54,210
changes to the country that continued to

18
00:00:51,629 --> 00:00:56,460
shape the country to this day the idea

19
00:00:54,210 --> 00:00:59,039
that one shouldn't be homeless because

20
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:01,079
of a permanent welfare state the idea of

21
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:03,359
a modern comprehensive national

22
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:05,760
insurance program the National Health

23
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,610
Service the idea that no one based on

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,490
age race and most especially cloths

25
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:13,770
should be rejected from seeing a surgeon

26
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:16,200
from seeing a GP from getting any kind

27
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:18,540
of medical care these were reforms from

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,340
socialism and practice wasn't it I mean

29
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:23,700
the National Health Service when people

30
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:26,729
say they don't like socialism you just

31
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:29,610
have to tell them that the National

32
00:01:26,729 --> 00:01:31,560
Health Service is literally socialism in

33
00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:33,270
action it is yes what else could it

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,460
possibly be called it's not a business

35
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:38,340
it's not a charity it's the government

36
00:01:35,460 --> 00:01:42,650
through tax money running a system that

37
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:42,650
benefits public welfare now
