We live in a democracy and the Government has to be responsive to Parliament.

The people of Aleppo have suffered like no one else for so long. There has to be a political solution.

We need to be very careful. Democracy is the issue, and democracy ought to be the means by which we decide these issues, rather than secret negotiations resulting in a fait accompli being presented to us.

I was at the Battle of Britain memorial yesterday. I was there out of respect for that amazing moment in British history. I was also thinking about my family, my mum and dad who were there at that time in London, and worked as air raid wardens during the Blitz, and I was thinking about that. It was a respectful ceremony, and I stood in respect throughout it. […] The issue is that we had a memorial for the Battle of Britain, I was there, I showed respect for it, and I’ll show respect in the proper way at all future events.

Homelessness in the UK is wholly unnescessary.

I was there because I wanted to see a fitting memorial to everyone who has died in every terrorist incident everywhere.

Real liberty exists only there where exploitation has been annihilated, where no oppression of some peoples by others exists, where there is no unemployment and pauperism, where a person does not tremble because tomorrow he may lose his job, home and bread.

I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.

I think our Russian Football Union must play an active part in this… and develop a new generation of sportsmen and soccer players.

Would I do business with Putin? Sure. And I’d challenge him on human rights in Russia, challenge him on these issues and challenge him on that whole basis of that relationship.

If people don’t like Marxism, they should blame the British Museum.

As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.

The Secretary of Defense is not a super General or Admiral. His task is to exercise civilian control over the Department for the Commander-in-Chief and the country.

People who call themselves supporters of Israel are actually supporters of its moral degeneration and ultimate destruction.

Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent. That’s politics!

One has to be insincere and promise something which you cannot fulfill. So you either have to be a fool who does not understand what you are promising, or deliberately be lying.

So the indigenous population of what’s now the United States was ‘exterminated’, to use the word that the founding fathers used. Not totally, but that was what was considered the right thing to do. They replaced them and it became a kind of settler state, not an imperial state.

An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.

Nobody respects a country with a poor army, but everybody respects a country with a good army. I raise my toast to the Finnish army
