For a start, mate, it was Clement Atlee's Labour government who brought through reform to tackle the 'five giants', so bottom of the class for you. Beveridge, who compiled a report on the condition of Social welfare in Britain, WAS a Liberal, however. Anyhoo, obviously the 'five giants' have not been eradicated - twelve million people in Britain today are considered to be living in poverty, whilst 5% of the population own 50% of the nations wealth. However, the very fact that health care, benefits and state support are available to every single member of the population free of charge and regardless of class - which is not the case in many developed countries of the world, including America - remains a significant boost to the living conditions of the British population. This is only a short answer to a big question, and made worse by the fact that we cannot know for sure how successful the welfare state is because we do not know what Britain would be like without it.How successful was the liberal government on introducing refroms to tackle the 5 giants?
Which Liberal Government? Which 5 giants? And what is a ';refrom';???
