death eye hands
I am the first male member of my family for about three generations who can have reasonable confidence in expecting that I will leave this earth with more or less the same number of fingers, hands, legs, toes and eyes as I had when I was born.
liberty economic assets
That sort of fundamentalism which treats possession of private property not as a desirable economic and personal asset but as a condition of liberty is a form of primitive religion.
funny humorous men
Mobile phones are the only subject on which men boast about who's got the smallest.
government weapons months
American nuclear weapons would almost certainly start being removed from Britain within 12 months of a Labour government gaining power.
jobs school doctors
Devolutionary reform will not provide a factory, a machine or jobs, build a school, train a doctor or put a pound on pensions.
truth two half
Two negatives don't make a positive, any more than two half-wits make a wit.
party thinking years
At various times in the next 20 or 30 years I think it reasonable to anticipate that I will be among the leadershp of the Labour Party, but as far as being leader, I can't see it happening, and I'm not particularly keen on it happening.
political intellectual way
[Marx's theories] gave me a political and intellectual justification for what I believed in a way that nothing else did.
party people important
I must emphasise that there is nothing in the Labour Party constituion that could, or should prevent people from holding opinions which favour Leninist-Trotskyism. Certainly Marxism has, and will continue to have an important function in the Labour Party.
vanity political killers
The unforgivable political sin is vanity; the killer diet is sour grapes.
yellow bananas gang
They travel best in gangs, hanging around like clumps of bananas, thick skinned and yellow.
war labour-movement world
Arthur Scargill is the Labour movements nearest equivalent to a First World War General.
revenge desire toxins
Resentment is an extremely bitter diet, I have no desire to make my own toxins.
party men careers
Political renegades always start their career of treachery as 'the best men of all parties' and end up in the Tory knackery.
