QUOTESI BEG YOUR PARDON?“We are preparing the economy for prosperity.”Gordon Brown, (“disappointed” by local election results, May 2 2008) OUR UNIVERSAL MAN"I do understand where people come from because I come from the same background myself." Gordon Brown, on Andrew Marr, 4 May 2008A new assumption should guide policy. The State should be running less not more. And to give this new political assumption bite it will need to be given institutional form. After all nobody ever willingly gave away power. So Whitehall should be capped in its scale and its scope. Where one new regulation is proposed two old ones will have to go. Where one new form is issued two old ones will be replaced. Where one new standard or target is introduced two old ones will be withdrawn. Where one new job is created two old ones will be lost. Alan Milburn, in a speech, the second week in September. Will more people start saying it? Is Milburn a radical leader or an agitator? "Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence." Tasnim Aslam, spokeswoman for Pakistani foreign ministry HAS GORDON BEEN AT THE GORDON'S?He will always be my friend.Gordon Brown, of Tony Blair. 14 September 2006 VALEDICTORY QUOTE“We’ve agreed sometimes none of the time.”Tony Blair to the 2006 TUC Conference FUNNIEST QUOTE OF THE YEAR"I have never known how mendacious he [Gordon] was, how full of mendacity."Presumably Tony Blair, to the Observer 10 September 2006. Perhaps there is now nothing that Gordon say that Tony could believe? THE FUTURE NOT THE PAST". . . traditional civil liberty arguments are not so much wrong as, just made for another age". Tony Blair DR DEMENTO RETURNS TO FORM"Our common security in this country can only be assured by a common effort from all sections of society."WAKE UP! MUM! MAKE MORE EFFORT ASSURING OUR COMMON SECURITY! MAKE OF OUR SKULLS A LADDERMichael Gove quoting from John Ware's Panorama programme of the Palestinian children from al-Khalil al-Rahman Young Girls' Association. they were filmed at a school event singing ensemble to their parents: "We all sacrifice ourselves for our country, We answer your call and make of our skulls a ladder to your glory. A ladder." Also sung: "Fasten your bomb belt, oh would-be martyr, and fill the square with blood so that we get back our homeland." Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi was also quoted, arguing that "we must plant the love of death and the love of martyrdom in the Islamic nation". MRS BECKETT, AND HER ENVIRONS"Fuck!" Mrs Beckett on being told she was the new foreign secretary. "Oh, for goodness sake, leave it alone, Adam!" To Adam Boulton. "Frankly, there was certainly a need for a little homework." From unnamed Foriegn Office mandarin. Colin Powell on 9/11'. . . people who believe with the destruction of buildings, with the murder of people, they can somehow achieve a political purpose.' The seeds of future stagnation have been sown. We have excessive public spending, rising taxes and excessive micro-management. Ghisela Stuart, Labour member on the European Convention (On Immigration): Every year we are inventing a new Oxford, a new Middlesbrough, or a new Ipswich. This may be a good thing, it may be a bad thing, it may mean that it is easier to get a waiter and it is harder to get a parking place, but what the country desperately needs is some serious debate about this. Tony Wright, Liaison Committee, 4 July 2006 All we want is a special relationship [with America] that does not resemble that between Miss Lewinsky and a former United States President: unequal, disreputable and with the junior partner always on their knees. George Galloway, House of Commons I think it is accepted among peers that some have bought their peerages although that has probably always been the case. Where it has gone to the dogs in the last 10 years is we have got a lot of people who have lost an election [in the Commons]. Why should we get the dross? Countess of Mar, 30 July, 200 |
