    Best politicians for the UK: Tory grandee eurosceptics

    They were right about the Euro.
    They were right about the necessity for a country to live within its means.
    They were right about one-nation conservatism, whilst keeping government as small as possible.
    They were independently rich so were incorruptible.
    They had a sense of duty.

    Sad that they exist no more.
    Hard Brexit now!

        True, but they are also unelectable these days.

                    I've been looking at the Wiki on average height by country:

                    Netherlands 1.837 m (6 ft 1⁄2 in) 1.693 m (5 ft 6 1⁄2 in) 25–34 Self-reported 2009 [48]
                    Netherlands 1.799 m (5 ft 11 in) 1.667 m (5 ft 5 1⁄2 in) 25+ Self-reported 2009 [48]
                    Netherlands near the top. 'Self reported' average height being over 6 foot. Can't help but wonder whether shorter guys overestimated or didn't respond though, or whether Netherlanders bend the truth more than average, but nevertheless seems pretty tall for an average. Although I don't call people tall unless they are taller than me. I saw one guy in Germany the other year who was massive, never seen anything like it. And I don't mean muscles manufactured in the gym or fat, the guys head must have been twice the size of mine and was very tall too.
