As does every young man studying philosophy, I naturally asked myself questions about the truth of all this, and about the meaning of freedom, predestination, and liberty of choice and so on. But to have asked questions of yourself about it, I think is not too important. Let's say - I remain - I remained a believer.

In my political philosophy I think that there sometimes is room for violence.

When they are 50 yards from Parliament Hill, they are no longer honourable members, they are just nobodies.

I've always lived in a democratic society.

I'm impatient not with the House of Commons as an institution, but with the way in which it is operated. This doesn't prove I don't believe in participatory democracy.

When the religious principles, like the philosophical, are translated into reality, sometimes the reality forces violence on you, and there is no escape from it, and then I don't think it's something you should try to hide your face from.

Who is it that said that 'you have not converted a man because you have silenced him?' This is true of the use of the military on people.
