1—Labour won in 1945 because they promised a new Jerusalem after the war with new housing, the NHS, higher wages. The Tories were seen as the party who got us into the war by their weakness.

The British voters still respected/loved Churchill, but not his party.

2—No, we arent going more Muslim. Do you know how sick I am of saying this isnt true?.

3—Many British disliked and dislike Thatcher, but many of us admired her.
