I think the longer Britain is in Europe the better.
Labour is the party of law and order in Britain today. Tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime.
My roots are still in Britain, that's where I live, that's the place where I come from.
Britain should not be forced to make a choice between joining the single currency and leaving the EU, because if we're forced to make that choice we would leave the EU.
Especially in Britain, people want to limit you.
The days of Britain and America intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are over.
Churchill wrote his own speeches. When a leader does that, he becomes emotionally invested with his utterances. . . If Churchill had had a speech write in 1940, Britain would be speaking German today.
We refuse to dismiss the experts, we listen to them. . . they all agree that Britain is better off in, you are better off in.
Over the years, Britain has made her own, unique contribution to Europe. We have provided a haven to those fleeing tyranny and persecution. And in Europe's darkest hour, we helped keep the flame of liberty alight. Across the continent, in silent cemeteries, lie the hundreds of thousands of British servicemen who gave their lives for Europe's freedom.
While there is a great value in things that are old, it seems that the overwhelming challenge in Britain in the late 20th century is to make every effort to see value in the contemporary and in the future.
I want Britain to punch its weight in the European Community.
I think that right now, the global political crisis that we see all over the place has to do with virulent nostalgia. Everywhere, people are talking about taking us back to the good old days. Whether that's the "caliphate," or Britain before the EU, or "Make America Great Again. " But, we can't go back and many people wouldn't want to go back even if we could.
I always say to anybody who's going over to America for the first time, 'Whatever you do, go and see a popular mainstream film with a big audience. ' Because people shout out. You never get that in Britain. Everybody's so quiet, scared to laugh. It's like being in church.
I was the best manager in Britain because I was never devious or cheated anyone. I’d break my wife’s legs if I played against her, but I’d never cheat her.
What's most striking is that the world as a whole has made remarkable progress against hunger, poverty and disease. I believe in God, and I see that hundreds of millions of people have escaped from poverty in places like Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Brazil and Britain. That's why, for me, it makes sense that this is God moving in our history.
Europe is my continent, not my country
The new naval treaty permits the United States to spend a billion dollars on warships-a sum greater than has been accumulated by all our endowed institutions of learning in their entire history. Unintelligence could go no further!. . . In Great Britain, the situation is similar. . . . Until the figures are reversed,. . . nations deceive themselves as to what they care about most.
I do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.
Literary life used to be quite different in Britain in the years I lived there, from 1971 to 1989, because money was not a factor - no one made very much except from U. S. sales and the occasional windfall.
When we sell a kilo of bean coffee in Uganda, we get one dollar per kilo. The same kilo, when it is processed [and sold in Britain], goes for $10, $11 or even more a kilo. That is the same situation that goes for all raw materials.
