Michael Collins named Britain’s second greatest foe after George Washington

Word on the street is that Edward Heath takes the number one spot, closely followed by Tony Blair and Gordon Broooon! LOL The English probably think Michael Collins pretty cool, especially if they've seen the (anti-De Valera) film. Stevenstar you're speaking lot of sense but the Oirish-Americans on here just don't get it. Real Irish people living in the US know where you're coming from though.

mreinhar2001.Obviously to the Brits it's those who are smarter then them is the greatest danger.

I find it odd that Hitler was nowhere to be found in the top five.

Steven: It appears you cannto read, the poll was held by THE NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM IN LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What does that have to do with Americans???? As far as moving on, to what exactly?? Oh yeah to making a mess of the place!

Left out Andrew Jackson, think they are still pissed at him for the beat down he delivered to the British in New Orleans in 1812...Killed a few thousand and lost about 5 of his own....

He was the mad one, right? The one in the movie The Madness of King George. Apparently, they dropped the III after some Americans thought it was a trilogy. ;) (I understand that's true btw!)

They missed the point in that King George III was their worst enemy for being so clueless. A deal to cooperate was close at hand but he couldn't sense it. He did appreciate fine music however.

Niall, fair enough. :) But you'll get repeated responses for sure.

Actually it's not a recycled story-- the final poll has just been released

Does anybody really know what time it is?

@Stevestar, who cares??? Americans didn't "drag up the past." This was your beloved British sponsoring this silly pointless contest, as if the results have any relevance to the people in the UK today.

Why do you keep recycling the same news? Why not just put the originals up again - it would save everyone having to repeat themselves ad infinitum.

@StevenStar ... this poll was taken by the ENGLISH, not by the Americans. You really should lay off the Guinness.

AH YOU AMERICANS LOVE DRAGGING UP THE 'PAST' HAHAHA! IM IRISH LIVE IN IRELAND AND WAS BORN HERE... WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS THE UK AND OVER OUR RELATIONSHIP IS GETTING STRONGER BY THE DAY AND NEVER BEEN BETTER ... LONG MAY THAT CONTINUE LIKE IT IS..I WOULD FEEL MORE TIES WITH ENGLAND THE UK AND MORE SO THEN AMERICANS ..
