The Greatest Briton?
Hard choice ... For me probably Darwin, who else was brave enough to take on the whole world's thinking, produce a theory that marked the dawn of a new science and gained nothing but recognition. Many of the ten gave something to the country, some of which were the result of winning a battle, but what are we voting for? Are we looking for the person that made our country great or powerful Elizabeth, Churchill & nelson were all responsible using this marker. Improvement of living is what Newton, Brunel and even Shakespeare gave to the country and world. Diana gave only herself, and in my opinion the reason she’s up there in the top 10 is because she was loved by so many and is still fresh in people's minds. Darwin on the other hand only gave us a different way of thought and I will go as far as saying he may have given the world the greatest gift of all, our History.
