Herbert Henry Asquith
As prime minister, Herbert Henry Asquith was sometimes accused of being overcautious: “We had better wait and see”, was one of his favourite phrases. During World War I he left most of the crucial decisions to his military advisers, and delayed the introduction of conscription for too long.
