At times the chaotic debate deteriorated into a shouting match, and that did not go unnoticed by the rest of the world. In another oft-quoted parliamentary exchange, Churchill called Clement Atlee "a modest man with much to be modest about," and referred to Atlee as "a sheep in sheep's clothing". There was admittedly a bit of a fuss a few years ago when one MP called a leading politician a "toad". It must be said that the quality of debate was considerably better than that witnessed in the US during the week. Final wordOf course, politicians insulting one another has been going on since the birth of democracy.
