Well I’m very glad I came across this site it’s interesting to find out all the historical people that were left-handed maybe I’m wrong but I was always under the impression or was told that Einstein was also left-handed I could be wrong
now there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being left-handed we are very interesting people with that being said throughout my young life I was told I was a freak it was disgusting I was beaten teachers were told to force me to write right-handed until and I repeat until a teacher do it up and said she’s left-handed let her be again I’m proud to be a left-handed person as far as I’m concerned we don’t live in a backwards world the right-handers live in a backwards world
Willem-Alexander is now king of the Netherlands.
Benjamin Netanyahu is now the PM of Israel.
Prince William is also left handed
Alan Turing
There are left handed people of repute in Africa like Mr Babatunde Fashola Senior Advocate of Nigeria,former Excecutive Governor of Lagos State in Nigeria, current minister of three portfolio. Power,Works and Housing.He uses left hand.
I’ve been left out.How under-handedly sinister.
George Washington was also Left Handed as well.
Leaders:
Tony Abbott, the current prime minister of Australia is left handed
Dear Everybody.
I feel really in god company, even if I am not famous.
Tours sincerely
Steen Schmidt Nielsen.
Simon commented on Club Verified.in response to David:Has anyone ever asked for a left handed fish knife at a restaurant? in my experience, the waiting staff look at you as though you are some sort of freak.———————- Aparantly, the posh way to eat fish is with 2 forks! That’s what royalty do.
John Kennedy wrote with his right hand. He threw a baseball and football with his right hand. Not sure how that makes him a lefty.
I didn’t see Barack Obama in US Presidents
Greetings from Australia. Great website. My daughter sent me the link otherwise I would not have known it existed.
Two of my sisters-in-law are lefties but no one else in my immediate family are. I was born just after WW2 but I don’t recall getting a hard time from the teachers as some did.
An interesting observation; the current Prime Minister of Australia is a leftie as is the President of the USA.
I was born 9/46 and my public school teach whacked my left hand with a ruler if l used it learning cursive.l faked a right hand slant but kept on lefty,though a left drags through ones carbon and ink- cursive was my curse! l was the brightest but smallest and won by wit.Not a happy path to travel, I’ll assure you…
Jack the ripper (whoever he or she was) was almost certainly a righty. The confusion was caused by a misreading of forensic evidence.
Given that we don’t know who Jack the Ripper actually is, how can we be sure that he is actually left handed?
Isn’t David Cameron (British Prime Minister) left handed?
