but I'd leave one in 1945 tipped
Churchill out on to his well upholstered
posterior and began to change britain in
ways that remain extant today absolutely
and it was in many ways an unlikely
victory if one were to look at 1935 when
Atlee became the leader of a Labour
Party that was beaten and broken by the
ratting of Ramsay MacDonald to a
national government after which he was
expelled from labour never to return but
oddly worked steadily and quietly to
rebuild the party from the mid 1930s
onward and when he got into government
in 1945 the most understated man in
Britain perhaps was able to affect
changes to the country that continued to
shape the country to this day the idea
that one shouldn't be homeless because
of a permanent welfare state the idea of
a modern comprehensive national
insurance program the National Health
Service the idea that no one based on
age race and most especially cloths
should be rejected from seeing a surgeon
from seeing a GP from getting any kind
of medical care these were reforms from
socialism and practice wasn't it I mean
the National Health Service when people
say they don't like socialism you just
have to tell them that the National
Health Service is literally socialism in
action it is yes what else could it
possibly be called it's not a business
it's not a charity it's the government
through tax money running a system that
benefits public welfare now
