[@nathanmclean3086]

Exact type of pedantry I come to the comments for.

[@nathanmclean3086]

@Barney Laurence Nominally both before and after the acts of union the Lord Lieutenant was the chief of government of the Kingdom of Ireland/Ireland within the UK, tho in practice it was the Lord Deputy and then later the Chief Secretary of Ireland really were the de facto heads of government/chief executive. The relationship between these two positions is (to my understanding) effectively the same as the relationship between Prime Ministers of Commonwealth Nations (those that aren't republics) and their Governor General. Obviously (as with anything about the constitution of the UK, GB, Kingdom of England, whatever) it's a lot more complicated than that, as the Irish Parliament was never sovereign (until independence ofc) and the Chief Secretary of Ireland, although an MP in the Irish Parliament, was responsible to Westminster and not Dublin, so was more of a colonial governor than a PM, but would be the closest equivalent to the PM, other than, well, the PM of GB/UK.

Bit generous to Gordon Brown. He couldn't win an election, and his short term in office was a series of one policy debacle after another. The guy, though clearly clever in other ways, had this bizarre capacity politically, to keep repeating the same mistakes. He never seemed to learn.

[@davecross4493]

Brown was actually an excellent leader. He would have been better in the radio age as he was terrible at PR - but was great at the practicalities. He understood a lot of Britain's problems and was working to fix them, but not very charismatic and was torn apart by the right wing media which had decided that, without Blair, it was time for a change. The global financial crash didn't do him any favour either (even though he actually managed to save the world banks). However, if you remember, he still managed a hung parliament, even with that.

[@flabbybum9562]

@@davecross4493 Far from saving the banks, Brown was responsible for lowering various safeguards and contingencies thar contributed to their near downfall. He sold off our gold reserves, just before their value went through the roof. He personally presided over the biggest project debacle in peacetime British modern history, in value terms, when his computerisation of the NHS was found not to work. He made a dogs dinner of tax credits, leaving many vulnerable people being pursued by Hmrc. His election tactics and execution were inept. I could go on and on. Yes, he was dire at PR. But it was just one in a series of things he was dire at. He was an awful leader.

[@davecross4493]

@@flabbybum9562 ​ To take these point by point: 1. Bank deregulation... It was a similar story across the world - remember it started in wall street. I'm pretty sure most EU countries deregulated banks and I know the US, Australia and Japan did. There is no reason to think the tories would not have done anything different. In fact I guarantee they would have because they believe in the free market and more money for rich people. Also the crash was basically to do with sub prime mortgages in America - and affected all countries. In the 1990s, the banks all came to government and said: “Look, we don't want to be regulated, we want to be free of regulation. All the complaints he was getting from people was, “Look you're regulating them too much”. And actually the truth was that globally and nationally they should have been regulating them more. But this problem was not just confined to Britain. As I say, the tories would not have done anything different. Brown was chancellor at the time, not prime minister, but he did apologise in 2010. He stopped us all going bankrupt through temporary nationalisation and advising world leaders during the crisis. 2. Gold... While Gordon Brown could have sold at a better price (he is not a soothsayer), for the vast majority of governments across established economies, there is no real point to holding gold. The purpose of foreign exchange reserves is not for the state to manage wealth on behalf of the country. People should do this for themselves. UK reserves should only really be used to underpin monetary policy, and to halt any possible crisis such as a significant run on the pound, not as any kind of sovereign wealth fund. The trouble is that gold is not well suited as a state asset, as its value is very likely to drop as soon as it is deployed as a government intervention mechanism. The market is of course very different to that of two decades years ago, and any government selling today will not have anywhere near the same impact. But this doesn’t change the cold hard truth that gold is a market best fit for sophisticated speculators, not the state. 3 NHS... Whatever your views on the 'computerisation' mishap, the NHS was a million times better under Blair and Brown and got much more attention and funding. It was very bad under Thatcher and Major and it is close to collapse now under the current tories, so I reject your point that they did a bad job overall. The tories 'pretend' to fund it because they know the NHS is a vote winner, but they insist everything is outsourced so actually none of the money is IN the NHS. 4. Tax... He has actually been honoured for his contribution to tax by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) in 2022. The award is a mark of excellence bestowed on the grounds of particular distinction in the field of taxation. CIOT President Peter Rayney said: “Gordon Brown is one of the great reforming Chancellors who has shaped the tax and related benefits system like few before or since. In 10 years as Chancellor he made significant changes which strengthened the competitiveness of the UK as a location for holding companies and many business friendly tax measures. He introduced business asset taper relief, the forerunner of Entrepreneurs' Relief - which we now call Business Asset Disposal Relief. He introduced working tax credits, the first ISAs and a simplified regime for pension tax relief. He launched the Disclosure of Tax Avoidance Schemes (DOTAS) regime which was a game changer to tackling marketed tax avoidance. And he negotiated changes to the EU Savings Directive to focus it around transparency and exchange of information, rather than withholding taxes. This approach has been the blueprint for subsequent international agreements to combat tax evasion." 5. Elections... I agree with your election point though because he thought people were bright enough to see the good he did instead of listening to what they read. More fool him. I did mention something to that effect in my initial comment.

[@flabbybum9562]

@@davecross4493Sorry I don't have the time to go into the detail you have. Let's look at just a few examples. Of course Brown didn't cause the international banking crash, but it is widely agreed he seriously exacerbated an already bad situation, and handled it ineptly. I agree that the gold standard played a decreasing to negligible role in currency. But that's not my point - he sold a hugely valuable asset at a massive discount, days before it soared in value. He presided over the biggest project debacle in modern British history with his computerised system for the NHS, costing the tax-payer billions upon billions. His tax credit reforms dragged hundreds of thousands of disabled people from a welfare benefit regime, to a system administered by HMRC, who then proceeded to bully them into repaying money they didn't owe, whilst applying a different regime of rules. He stripped rights and protections from people in social housing. I could go on, and on. A common thread, is Brown's unswerving faith in big bureaucracy to deliver, even when it had repeatedly failed. He just wouldn't learn. He lost the election from a position of strength he had inherited, because his campaign was appalling. He was not a good PM, and he only looked good for a while as Chancellor, because he hadn't faced any serious challenges. Once he did, his shortcomings became apparent.

Not sure why this suddenly turned up in my recommendations, but it was a fun watch 😊

SUCH AN AWESOME SONG! Though speaking as a bit of a 19th-century history buff, it's MUCH more normal to refer to these Prime Ministers by their noble titles, rather than their names. For example, historians will often talk about "the Earl of Liverpool" (or, more often, "Lord Liverpool"); they practically never talk about "Robert Jenkinson". I didn't even know the real names of half these PMs, and I'm pretty well-versed on this period of history

[@ramblerazz]

Thanks! Yeah, I know they're more often referred to as Earl of So-and-so but that would have made it so much more difficult to write into a song! And on Pointless they ask for Prime Minister's surnames as opposed to titles and I only really wrote this so I'd sound smarter when watching quiz shows with the parents...
