running real ambition
There's no secret about my ambition, I do not want to go into the House of Commons. My only real political interest is in London and if one day I'm in a position to run for mayor, then terrific.
teacher black needs
We need more male black teachers, tempting them with extra cash if necessary.
people boards problem
Across the board, people are looking at the problem, but simply not changing anywhere near fast enough.
asking-questions asking has-beens
I ask questions, and a large part of my life has been spent asking questions of Ken Livingstone.
people black asian
I don't want to have people brought in simply because they are black or Asian.
brother together spoil
My brother and I have too good a relationship to spoil it by working together.
noise anti-religion britain
There's no question that there is more anti-religion noise in Britain.
law different needs
You can't say 'because we decide we're different then we need a different set of laws.
real believe thinking
I think there's an awful lot of noise about the Church being persecuted but there is a more real issue that the conventional churches face - that the people who are really driving their revival and success believe in an old-time religion which, in my view, is incompatible with a modern, multi-ethnic, multicultural society.
men doors law
It's perfectly fair that you can't be a Roman Catholic priest unless you're a man. It seems right that the reach of anti-discriminatory law should stop at the door of the church or mosque.
running children law
Once you start to provide public services that have to be run under public rules, for example child protection, then it has to go with public law. Institutions have to make a decision whether they want to do that or they don't want to do that.
children parks yards
Prison service vans that travel 90 miles to take a prisoner 90 yards; paedophiles free to leer at children in the very parks where they have committed horrific crimes.
christian religious discrimination
The most likely victim of actual religious discrimination in British society is a Muslim, but the person who is most likely to feel slighted because of their religion is an evangelical Christian.
country agency law
To me there's nothing different in principle with a Catholic adoption agency, or indeed Methodist adoption agency, saying the rules in our community are different and therefore the law shouldn't apply to us. Why not then say sharia can be applied to different parts of the country? It doesn't work.
