• The post you are reporting:
   
  Clearly several people have not even bothered to read the original post properly and reflect that in their posts.
  
  1/ For the second time Gary - this is not my list, it was composed by Stephen Parkinson of the Conservative History Group. I have posted it here to generate some discussion. Which is not helped by misrepresenting what this is about.
  2/ Andy - I made the same points as you in my original post regarding heroes. These are people, in the most part, who I admire for their contribution to our country, but I also queried the term hero. Of those named I would suggest only the Duke of Wellington and, possibly Churchill truly deserve the hero label.
  
  Those who denigrate and spread anti-Conservative hatred, making ridiculous claims about what the Party is all about should note the achievements of those named who include the first woman PM, the first Jewish PM, not named was the first woman MP, not named was the first Grammar school PM (not a man to admire that one). Then there are important social reforms that include:
  abolishing slavery
  catholic emancipation
  policing
  care for the insane
  child labour reforms and protection
  womens suffrage
  social mobility
  
  Introducing:
  grammar schools, boosting social mobility by doing so
  unemployment benefit
  paid holidays
  
  Read the post properly and you will see that there is a great and proud history of service to this country. This only touches the surface.
