@@geopel2488 Palmerston the Liberal? Are you drunk? If you want a punch on your Judy then go ahead and vote with Barney. But after a few hours of drinking pints of Duff at Moe's he really hasn't a clue what he is brawling for? Wasn't it Palmerston's pa who struck the match and set the Whitehorse on Fire 24th August 1814? Clearly how can he be considered England's Greatest Prime Minister if he was Irish (Anglo Irish)? They were great brawlers and not much else. So if you want a Punch 'n'Judy then step out side. But think about it, first. What good did Palmerston do as either a Tory, Whig or Liberal. He hadn't a clue. Changed parties as often as he drank beer likely. Or how else was he in each party? Chopping and changing as he did through three different parties he clearly couldn't be of any or much use to either as soon as some decision was made he would leave and join the opposition. So his parties could never win. So no one could ever know what he really stood for as anything he stood for was soon dropped as he defected to an other party ending up with the liberals who were mostly pro beer beer beer and beer. Look at Dublin now a days. Pubs on every corner and two or three in between. Springfield could look like Dublin in just a few decades then where will they be? He wasn't English. He was Anglo-Irish. A vast country Estate in Ireland whilst the Irish had their Potato Famine. Which for some strange reason many Irish blame the English for yet the Palmerstons were Anglo Irish. Not short of a few dollars at all. So how can the Irish really blame the English for famine in Ireland if the Irish during 'The Irish Rebellion of 1641 (Irish: Éirí Amach 1641)' slew tens or hundreds of thousands of Protestant English Planters (Planters, Farmers-those there to grow food and plant seed)? See what Wikipedia said: Ulster massacres [Wikipedia] 'The number of planters killed in the early months of the uprising is the subject of debate. Early English Parliamentarian pamphlets claimed that over 200,000 Protestants had lost their lives. In fact, recent research has suggested that the number is far more modest, in the region of 4,000 or so killed, though many thousands were expelled from their homes. It is estimated that up to 12,000 Protestants may have lost their lives in total, the majority dying of cold or disease after being expelled from their homes in the depths of winter'. So if the Palmerston fail to see the obvious and don't support the English against the Irish false allegations then how can he be worthy of the title 'England's Greatest Prime Minister'. Especially as he was Anglo-Irish. It stands to reason that if The Irish Catholics slaughtered tens of thousands of food planters (Farm-steaders) then likely others wouldn't want to go there and fill the shoes of the already dead. So the later Irish anti UK-ites who accuse the absentee landlords of the famine must be plumb crazy or insane with mad whisky. As they are blaming those they murdered for not being there to look after them or to plant the seed to grow the crops. It's not a case of any deliberate act by the planters or English that they were not there. They weren't there on account of the fact they were murdered by Irish Catholics. So the same could happen in Springfield if you vote for the Liberal Anglo-Irish Palmerston. There will open pubs on every street with a few in between and one on each corner. Be careful of what you vote for. Okay- So whilst you ponder -I will drop a coin in Moe's Jukebox and select a reminiscence of Palmerston's Pa who struck the match and set the Whitehorse on Fire 24th August 1814? ruclips.net/video/OHrTWXuVk7U/видео.html

Speaking as an Irishman, I'm going with Pitt the Elder. Palmerston sent extra British troops into Ireland to put down rebellions in the wake of the Great Famine/Genocide. Pitt the Elder, nothing really stands out. He may have ruled over an illegal occupation but he didn't make it better or worse. So I guess for him it was Tuesday. I'll allow it.
British guy here: Lord Palmerston helped reinforce Britain's global power and was very anti-slavery but, mainly because he didn't like the US and only saw other countries as interests rather than allies. Whereas Pitt the Elder, is more recognised as the father of the Britain as a global power and actively tried to maintain good relations with the US to better the global economy. So, I'd say Pitt was the better PM....Sorry Barn
I think the UK's greatest Prime Minister was Clement Attle since he: Rebuilt Britain after WW2 Created the NHS Nationalised our major industries and utilities Created full employment Made secondary school free Built more than a million new homes Improved workers rights Took in jewish refugees Improved wages
@@Heligoland360 "Fuck the NHS"? The thing that makes health care free for the entire country? It's dicks like you that are what's wrong with the world. Maybe you're a millionaire and if so, good for you but show a bit of compassion to those of us why rely on services like that. Toffee nosed, Tory twat.
Rebuilt Britain after WW2- Through brutal rationing, prevent Iran from nationalizing their oil industry and selling out Seretse Khama for Apartheid diamond money. Created the NHS- Nope that was Nye Bevan. Nationalized our major industries and utilities- By taking them away from local authorities, curtailing industrial democracy within them ( mainly in the form of ending profit sharing in the gas industry), and making it easier for Thatcher to gut heavy industry in the 1980s. Created full employment- True. Made secondary school free- Butler Act of 1944 did that, and Rab Butler was a Tory. Built more than a million new homes- Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, and Wilson built even more on a per-year basis. Improved worker's rights- Not especially unique. Neville Chamberlain introduced paid holidays and the Victorian Factory Acts were a bipartisan affair. Took in Jewish refugees- True. Improved wages- Literally every PM before him since Disraeli managed to do that!
Winston Churchill, because he: Successfully steered Britain through its most existential crisis since the Civil War of the seventeenth century Vociferously proposed combating Nazi rearmament and imperialism from the start, while popular opinion called for pacifism and he was widely ridiculed as a war hawk for doing so Was a widely acclaimed historian who promoted the ideals of Whig history and the liberalism it entails Promoted the special connection between members of the British diaspora (particularly between Britain and the United States) Was a descendant of the Duke of Marlborough Properly recognized the British Empire as a net good for the world Promoted classically liberal ideals throughout his long public career

Whereas Pitt the Elder, is more recognised as the father of the Britain as a global power and actively tried to maintain good relations with the US to better the global economy.
So, I'd say Pitt was the better PM....Sorry Barn
"Lord Palmerston!!!!" 🤜
Sir Winston Churchill
He was, but you have to make them obscure for Americans to laugh but not know why.
Pitt the Elder - Lead to fall of New France after the Seven year War
Lord Palmerston - Responsible for the Crimean War
Who knew that Boggs and Barney were so much into English history that they were willing to slug it out?
Fun fact: in the Latin American dub, they changed Barney’s pre-punch line to: “You asked for it, chicken eater!”
The Gang Beats Boggs
Tbh,both of these PMs are better than our last few ones.
Not exactly a high bar.
@@suchiuomizutrue enough when you first commented this, true enough now
I think the UK's greatest Prime Minister was Clement Attle since he:
Rebuilt Britain after WW2
Created the NHS
Nationalised our major industries and utilities
Created full employment
Made secondary school free
Built more than a million new homes
Improved workers rights
Took in jewish refugees
Improved wages
TheLabourMP LORD PALMERSTON
@@Heligoland360 "Fuck the NHS"? The thing that makes health care free for the entire country? It's dicks like you that are what's wrong with the world. Maybe you're a millionaire and if so, good for you but show a bit of compassion to those of us why rely on services like that. Toffee nosed, Tory twat.
Lord Palmerson 🤜💥
Rebuilt Britain after WW2- Through brutal rationing, prevent Iran from nationalizing their oil industry and selling out Seretse Khama for Apartheid diamond money.
Created the NHS- Nope that was Nye Bevan.
Nationalized our major industries and utilities- By taking them away from local authorities, curtailing industrial democracy within them ( mainly in the form of ending profit sharing in the gas industry), and making it easier for Thatcher to gut heavy industry in the 1980s.
Created full employment- True.
Made secondary school free- Butler Act of 1944 did that, and Rab Butler was a Tory.
Built more than a million new homes- Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, and Wilson built even more on a per-year basis.
Improved worker's rights- Not especially unique. Neville Chamberlain introduced paid holidays and the Victorian Factory Acts were a bipartisan affair.
Took in Jewish refugees- True.
Improved wages- Literally every PM before him since Disraeli managed to do that!
Winston Churchill, because he:
Successfully steered Britain through its most existential crisis since the Civil War of the seventeenth century
Vociferously proposed combating Nazi rearmament and imperialism from the start, while popular opinion called for pacifism and he was widely ridiculed as a war hawk for doing so
Was a widely acclaimed historian who promoted the ideals of Whig history and the liberalism it entails
Promoted the special connection between members of the British diaspora (particularly between Britain and the United States)
Was a descendant of the Duke of Marlborough
Properly recognized the British Empire as a net good for the world
Promoted classically liberal ideals throughout his long public career
Winston Churchill!
For when one catastrophic empire-ending war on the continent isn't quite enough...

Lord palmerston - drunks
Pitt the elder - Liberals

The only wrong answer is Anthony Eden
@@timc6669 Anthony Eden saw the sun set on British influence on the global scale
Wasn’t that due to having just fought WWII? Which Eden really wasn’t responsible for…
@@DeltaAssaultGaming He started a full ten years after the war
