Britain is a great country. We can more or less say what we like, and we can walk down the street without anyone trying to kill us. I know it's tough for some people, but generally we live in a caring society. We live in a great country, but we're no longer a great power. Part of the problem with some elements of the European debate is that they hanker for the days when we were a great power. Those days are gone, and they went a long time ago.

You can be active with the activists or sleep in with the sleepers while you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards.

Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we can achieve.

I'd like to think that in a generation or two we'll have politicians whose life experience reflects that of the people who are voting for them.

Freedom is merely privilege extended, unless enjoyed by one and all.

So, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time.
