Quotes

  • To complain that a European Union official is a federalist, is like complaining that a bicycle has handlebars. That's what they are, that's what they do.
  • In 1965, the people of Britain may have been poorer, smaller, shabbier, dirtier, colder, narrower, more set in their ways, ignorant of olive oil, polenta and – even – lager. But they knew what united them, they shared a complicated web of beliefs, attitudes, prejudices, loyalties and dislikes.
  • A nation is the sum of its memories, and when those memories are allowed to die, it is less of a nation.
  • A nation is the sum of its memories, and when those memories are allowed to die, it is less of a nation.
  • Smoking and buggery can both kill you, by exposing you to diseases you would not otherwise get. If homosexual acts were as common as smoking we would have to bury the victims in mass graves because AIDS slays so much faster than cancer, heart disease or emphysema.
  • A time traveller from Fifties Britain would probably die of shock within two hours of arriving in modernised Blairland — and be quite glad to do so. The fact that the restaurants are better just would not make up for the fact that almost everything else is worse.
