I have only ever borrowed money for investment. I have been sound money all my life.

I am a socialist, a believer in rational thought and the rule of law.

I'm more interested in politicians who deal with human rights in their own country rather than lecture the rest of the world.

If Voting Changed Anything They'd Abolish It

I liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.

I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.

I became a councillor back in 1971, so if by this stage in politics I'm making lots of big mistakes, then I shouldn't be here.
