The Civil Service Is A Bit Like

Some Of The Jam We Thought Was For Tomorrow, We've Already Eaten

I Opposed The Suez War, I Opposed The Falklands War. I Opposed The Libyan Bombing And I Opposed The Gulf War And I Never Believed That Any Of Those Principled Arguments Lost A Single Vote - Indeed, I Think They Gained Support Though That Was Not Why You Did It. What Has Been Lacking In Labour Politics Over A Long Period Is A Principled Stand

I Did Publish A Bill Once Called "common Sense" With A New Constitution For Europe Called The "commonwealth Of Europe," Setting It All Out - What It's Rights Were, How It Would Work. And I Think That That Will Be Where Is Has To Go. But I'm Not Anti-european, I'm Just A Democrat, A Very Committed Democrat. I Don't See Why The Hell I Should Obey A Law Made By Someone I Didn't Elect And Can't Remove.

An Mp Is The Only Job Where You Have 70,000 Employers, And Only One Employee.

There May Be A Legal Obligation To Obey, But There Will Be No Moral Obligation To Obey. When It Comes To History, It Will Be The People Who Broke The Law For Freedom Who Will Be Remembered And Honoured.
