The problem is finding the best suitable lBritish leader in history.
we must all understand that they were all human and like us today were always looking out for themselves,
your looking for a hero ?
you may want look at your parent's ,
after all if it were up to governments to raise you with confidence and good health , you would be rotting in your crib.
Looking back many years when we had real hero's
Being a Canadian and older than most i am reminded of the dark day's of ww2 and the blitz. Britain's sent their children to Canada for protection until the war was over.
i cannot imagine ever being able to separate my children but they were true hero's for protecting British children. real hero's not the so called leaders that had spin doctors writing their life stories fact or fiction.

in step with hazard the greater substantial query is why human beings insist on judging others in this way. The Pharisees' 'hypocritical' act grew to become into the refusal to permit Roman 'pagan' practices which contain emperor worship into Judaism. The harder you insist on repeating those very old untruths, rooted in 1st century political propaganda, the greater you weaken the full case for Christianity. The texts are not precise of their depictions of the Pharisees. that's time to end repeating them.

Boudica (also spelt Boudicca, formerly better known as Boadicea) (d. AD 60 or 61 ) was a queen of the Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern Britain who led an uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire.

Her husband, Prasutagus, the Icenian king, who had ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome, had left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman Emperor in his will, but when he died his will was ignored, possibly because the Romans, unlike the Britons, did not recognise daughters as heirs. The kingdom was annexed as if conquered, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped, and Roman financiers called in their loans.

In AD 60 or 61, while the Roman governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was leading a campaign on the island of Anglesey in north Wales, Boudica led the Iceni, along with the Trinovantes and others, in revolt. They destroyed Camulodunum (Colchester), formerly the capital of the Trinovantes, but now a colonia (a settlement for discharged Roman soldiers) and the site of a temple to the former emperor Claudius, built and maintained at local expense, and routed a Roman legion, the IX Hispana, sent to relieve the settlement.

On hearing the news of the revolt, Suetonius hurried to Londinium (London), the twenty-year-old commercial settlement which was the rebels' next target, but concluding he did not have the numbers to defend it, evacuated and abandoned it. It was burnt to the ground, as was Verulamium (St Albans). An estimated 70,000-80,000 people were killed in the three cities. Suetonius, meanwhile, regrouped his forces in the West Midlands, and despite being heavily outnumbered, defeated Boudica in the Battle of Watling Street. The crisis had led the emperor Nero to consider withdrawing all Roman forces from the island, but Suetonius's eventual victory over Boudica secured Roman control of the province.

The history of these events, as recorded by Tacitus and Cassius Dio, were rediscovered during the Renaissance and led to a resurgence of Boudica's legendary fame during the Victorian era, when Queen Victoria was portrayed as her "namesake". Boudica has since remained an important cultural symbol in the United Kingdom.

He is not a Brit - but would be most suitable. Martin McGuinness.

As to Thatcher, she should rot in prison. And one can only hope Cromwell's death was very painful and very slow.
