HISTORYS GREATEST

If you had the chance to bring back one of Historyâ€™s greatest who would you bring back and why.

I would go for Churchill as I feel he would at least stick up for the UK & tell all the doom and gloom merchants to take a running jump.

George Orwell . It'd be interesting to read his views on the war against terrorism

Henry V -- he died at the most inconvinient time, just as the frogs were willing to hand him over the crown on the death of their own (sickly) King, who in the event only out lived Henry by 2 bloody months! With today's modern medicines, Henry'd not die of dysentry as he did the first time -- he could merrily have another crack at France, and finish where he left off last time.

The prophet mohammed, and get him to explain to his people, why they have his ideals all wrong.

Followed very closely by Jesus, so he could sort out the west bank situaion.

And then, Ghengis Kahn, so he could do a number on the local area and all countries ending in the word "Stan"

And if I had the time, a quick recall for King Henry the VIII, he could then do away with elected governance, and we wouldnt be in the shite state we are now.

Mountbatten, would be good for a few tales over a beer or two.

Jade Goody.

No seriously hear me out. When she was alive and healthy she was hated with a passion. As soon as she fell ill she was worshipped like a Goddess.

I would like to see if her "fans" still loved her when she went back to doing what she did best.

Alexander the Great.

Give him an army, take him to Afghanistan and tell him:

"Alex - these Taliban guys called you a POOF!"

Sit back and watch the fun.

First choice, Enoch Powell, the greatest Prime Minister we never had.

Second choice... Sir Arthur Bomber Harris so that we could utilise his excellent skills on some of our inner cities..

Oliver Reed. And it's his bloody round!

I agree, Churchill, a soldiers soldier who went on to be everything most of us would ever want to be.

While he had his faults, lets be honest, the man was legend.
