Quotes

• “She is the living memorial as to why Scots want their own parliament.”
• “There is not an anti-English bone in my body. I have forgotten more about English history than most Tory MPs ever learnt.”
• “It is an act of dubious legality, but above all one of unpardonable folly. [The bombing] may make matters even worse for the very people it is meant to be helping...if we are to sanction intervention in Serbia then the policy must be capable of achieving two things. It must be capable of weakening Milosevic and helping Kosovo. A bombing campaign will do neither, indeed the chances are it will make both worse.”
• “It would be much easier if we had the full powers of an independent country. Therefore I was anticipating being in that position by 2017.”
• “It's not to pretend you can do everything, but if people like you – in the sense of admiring or having respect for what you are trying to do – then they will understand the odd blemish. If people don't like you, and lack confidence in what you are trying to do, they won't forgive you anything.”
• “Am I miffed now? No! It's the best thing that could have happened. We were saved! We were saved!”
