You can thank THIS ASSHOLE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Attlee

PM Attlee was the British equivalent of Obama - Bloat the welfare and social services, nationalize everything that you can get away with. Why he is held in reverence by some in Britain is beyond me. He, single handedly, ended British dominance in ANYTHING!

I always enjoy Winston Churchill description of Attlee as “a modest man with much to be modest about.”
