The British Queen Boadicea. Her statue with her daughters stands on Westminster Bridge.
Makes you proud to be British.
More ruthless even than Margaret Thatcher. Queen Bod-dig lead her British Army to destroy two Roman Legions. They also burned the Roman City of Londinium [London] down and Colchester, where two thousand Romans were stuffed into the great temple and burned to death.
Hurrah!
Death to Rome.

Ghandi was a pretty solid dude, passive resistance and all that. You had to give it to William Wilberforce as well and the part he played in the ending of the slave trade. I think the Chartists were really important in England and the feminists that followed them.
By the way, if any says Oliver Cromwell I'm going to have to seek them out and slap them senseless!!

I would have to say Sir Philip Sidney. He was a true Renaissance man.
It was after reading a biography about him when I was in high school that I realised how important it was to be very good at a number of things -- especially in this age of specialisations.
