... I hope that's NOT a dig at my ancestor (through marriage) Mrs Fitzherbert (the wife of King George IV) ?

Just reading a very good biography of her now.

[b][color=#FF0000]Yes - all long before the Labour Party was even though of ![/color][/b]

Great leaders like Lord Leverhulme and Titus Salt ... who risked [u]their own money[/u] to set-up enterprises (with absolutely no guarantee of a result !) They were very rich men (although Leverhulme started out - like our beloved Maggie - with a grocer for a father) and both could have just sat back and lived off their wealth.

But no ... (like all good Tories) they set up factories to employ the peasants ... and also built them villages (Port Sunlight from Leverhulme / Saltaire from Salt) hospitals, schools, churches, reading rooms, meeting houses, and libraries !

Amazingly, the peasants were grateful. Very grateful.

[b]When Leverhulme died, 30,000 people attended the funeral[/b]. 
(Its arguable that most of those people would have already been dead if Leverhulme had not rescued them from the gutter and put a roof over their heads).

These days they would want the roof - and the spare bedroom (to house the mobility scooter !)

[b]When Salt died - 100,000 people lined the funeral route ![/b][/quote]
