Adgevent Calendar 2012 11 December

It's…



















William Ewart Gladstone! This Liberal politician was Prime Minister four times, Britain's oldest Prime Minister and also Chancellor of the Exchequer. He was known as "The GOM", which stood for "The Grand Old Man" among people who liked him, or "God's Only Mistake" according to Benjamin Disraeli who thought he sucked (but in a Victorian stylee) and obviously didn't foresee Planet Sad. (Although it's pretty obvious that this site has bugger all to do with intelligent design.) Gladstone was also known as "The People's William" which makes him sort of like Lady Di, Princess of Hearts, but with ADGE. So yes, William Ewart GlADGEstone! See what we did there? Again.
