The flag of racialism which has been hoisted in Wolverhampton is beginning to look like the one that fluttered 25 years ago over Dachau and Belsen.

I do not share the general view that market forces are the basis of personal liberty.

Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. And then he wins the world peace prize and becomes president of South Africa. That's how change happens. It's very important not to differentiate protest from the democratic process.

The Establishment decided Thatcher's ideas were safer with a strong Blair government than with a weak Major government. We are given all these personalities to choose between to disguise the fact that the policies are the same.

The way a government treats refugees is very instructive.

I think to understand how the democratic process works is the most important thing, so people don't get frightened by it, and get put off, and give up.

I believe the more difficult the circumstances, the more people will be inclined to trust those in charge at the moment.
