Best politicians for the UK: Tory grandee eurosceptics

[sasguru]

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.

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.
