goal three mets
I had three goals and all of them were met.
growth saws birth
I saw 'New Labour'conceived, watched it gestate, witnessed its birth and growth. Now I fervently hope I will be present at its death.
population british traditional
The hard left is a very small section of the British population and I myself am not hard left. I am a traditional Labour left-winger.
morning lying party
All the people you have killed, all the lies you have told have come back to haunt you and the best thing the Labour Party can do is sack you tomorrow morning.
patriotic opposites soldier
It's a great myth that the British public want our soldiers to be sent into harm's way on a bogus prospectus for ignoble reasons. There is nothing patriotic about that. It is the opposite of patriotism.
oil pennies evidence
I've never had a penny through oil deals and no one has produced a shred of evidence that I have
people challenges ugly
They say that politics is show business for ugly people, but as I always crack, what would I know about that? I like a challenge
sunset loser
It is only losers that are prosecuted.
believe blue sky
Some believe that those aeroplanes on September 11 came out of a clear blue sky. I believe they came out of a swamp of hatred created by us.
fighting blood people
People like Mr Hitchens are ready to fight to the last drop of other people's blood, and it's utterly and completely contemptible.
men patriotism letters
I'm an advocate of the great Dr. Johnson, the English man of letters who said that patriotism was the last refuge of the scoundrel.
country government iraq
We argued, as did the security services in this country, that the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq would increase the threat of terrorist attack in Britain. Tragically Londoners have now paid the price of the Government ignoring such warnings.
israel savages illegal
We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel. And you have to do the same.
growing-up real book
My own experience of growing up as a Roman Catholic in Scotland has led me to fear independence in Scotland. The possibility of Scotland being a kind of Stormont is a real one. I wrote a book recently about Neil Lennon's year of living dangerously and in the course of it I had to revisit some of my own experiences. Of course, most Scottish people are not swivel-eyed, loyalist sectarians but there are a large number of them. A large six-figure number, and if I were living in Scotland as a Roman Catholic I would be worried about that.
