people world enjoy
I really enjoy travelling around the world. I get to meet some extraordinary people.
weakness timepieces ifs
If I have a weakness, it's for timepieces - if I see one I like and can afford it, I'll buy it.
war cost humans
War is not cheap, but it's the human cost that's the highest.
together growing gaps
If you have extremes of haves and have-nots where the gap keeps growing, the have-nots group together and create social disorder, as they can't see a way out of their situation.
school army thinking
What's always got me is the fact that when people talked on the telly about Iraq, before Afghanistan kicked off, you'd get only these public-school-type army officers talking about what was going on out there. I kept thinking, 'Why don't we get the true voice of the squaddie? Why don't we hear from the lads on the battlefield?'
safety sick people
The welfare system was designed to do something different when it was started than what it does now. It was a safety net to help people get back to work: if they were sick, it would help them get back.
television output concentration
I'm an old git now, so I would say this, but television was better when there were less channels. There was more concentration and selection in terms of the output.
jobs vote economy
It only takes around 60 seconds to cast your vote in the polling station. 60 seconds to protect the economy, 60 seconds to protect your jobs, 60 seconds to protect the services your family relies on. A lot is at stake during those 60 seconds.
thinking two feet
I don't think you should go into politics until you can stand on your own two feet economically, if possible, and you know enough about the world.
israel people gaza
The one thing that I'm absolutely sure about is that the people of Gaza aren't going anywhere. And neither are the people of Israel.
daughter drinking bad-relationship
I've always had a lot of time for servicemen. Yet there's been this bad relationship between civilians and the armed services. We say to soldiers, 'We want you when we want you, but stay away in peacetime. We're proud of you, but keep away from my daughter and don't come drinking in my pub.'
girl jobs sitting
If you offer me a job sitting in a Winnebago with make-up girls and free food, I'm probably going to take it.
