Quotes

  • If this is justice, I am a banana.
  • Boris Johnson, people always ask me the same question, they say, 'Is Boris a very very clever man pretending to be an idiot?' And I always say, 'No.'
  • The trouble about working on a tabloid is that they tend to be run by bullies.
  • I do have a residual belief that, if at all possible, you should try not to mock the weak.
  • In Britain we have a free press. It's not a pretty press, but it's free. The people who can't bear the Daily Mail, they say: 'you should ban it'. No no, no no, you don't ban it... you don't buy it."
