The Duke of Wellington is the most obvious one.

There are probably others.

Alec Douglas-Home wasn't an MP when he was chosen to lead the
Conservative government; he had a seat in the House of Lords but
renounced his peerage shortly after becoming PM. The last peer from
the House of Lords to head the government was the 3rd Marquess of
Salisbury who left office in 1902, and exited this world in 1903.
There were several peers in the Victorian era who were PM's.

Disraeli, in his second period as PM.

Just another of your pathetic little drug crazed fantasys.

Hoity Toity.

Frankly seeing what is going on at the PLP and the Tory HQ who would
elect any of them either?

Farage knows whereof he speaks. Politicians whose sole purpose is to
scrabble for a power that they are totally unable to exercise
responsibly on behalf of the people, and who are simply fronts for big
business to keep the population in check without actually spending any
money on them.

I am quietly satisfied, and will be more so if we actually do leave the

But it is merely the start of a long road towards restoring sanity and

Have we ever had any PMs have we had that weren't MPs?

The Duke of Wellington is the most obvious one.

An MP early in his career, he was "Dooked Up" in 1814
and became PM around 1828


Dooked Up?

Dat's what they coil it in Noo Joysey and Noo Yoik.

Capiche ?

I posted that earlier in another thread. It predictably got TNP's
knickers in a twist.

Sorry. Probably one of the threads where he is ranting a lot, that I have
killfiled. His language has deteriorated - I think he is secretly upset
at the result.

More likely he is blotto celebrating the result.

as a mate of mine was saying this afternoon -Remember how Michael Foot
once compared Thatcher's early monetarist policies to a magician who had
taken a watch from the audience, smashed it up, and then forgotten the
rest of the trick? Looks like Boris has gone one step further - he's set
fire to the building and then legged it.

No building has been set fire to and Boris isn't the reason
the majority voted for Britain to leave the EU either.

The majority didn't vote to leave the EU,

The majority who voted did.

do the maths.

Done them.

If I believed what everyone says about me, I'd hate myself.
