culture ends
I intend to end the something for nothing culture
country choices different
Countries are different. They make different choices. We cannot harmonise everything.
taken mean government
People are increasingly frustrated that decisions taken further and further away from them mean their living standards are slashed through enforced austerity or their taxes are used to bail out governments on the other side of the continent.
cancer heart enemy-of-progress
Corruption is one of the greatest enemies of progress in our time. It is the cancer at the heart of so many of the world's problems.
institutions members certain
Over the longer term, the institutions and powers of the EU will continue to expand and certain policymaking powers, heretofore vested in the member states, will be delegated or transferred to, or pooled and shared with EU institutions. As a result, the sovereignty of the member states will increasingly be eroded.
character independent emotional
We have the character of an island nation: independent, forthright, passionate in defence of our sovereignty. We can no more change this British sensibility than we can drain the English Channel. And because of this sensibility, we come to the European Union with a frame of mind that is more practical than emotional.
jobs benefits tough
If you can work and if you're offered a job and you don't take it, you cannot continue to claim benefits. It will be extremely tough.
wife people dave
Lots of people call me Dave, my mum calls me David, my wife calls me Dave, I don't really notice what people call me.
gdp more-to-life well-being
It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, and it's time we focused not just on GDP, but on GWB - general well-being
people choices asking
Simply asking the British people to carry on accepting a European settlement over which they have had little choice is a path to ensuring that when the question is finally put - and at some stage it will have to be - it is much more likely that the British people will reject the EU.
leader political democracy
I like democracy. I like to be able to throw out my political leaders when they get things wrong, and we don't get to do that with Brussels.
law long citizens
For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone.
believe gay ties
Conservatives believe in the ties that bind us. Society is stronger when we make vows to each other and we support each other. I don't support gay marriage in spite of being a conservative. I support gay marriage because I am a conservative.
bring charles forward goodbye minister prime
I think the prime minister should bring forward his reshuffle and make these arrangements and say goodbye to Charles Clarke.
