The House Of Lords Is The British

The Tory Party Is The Enemy Of Democracy.

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 Think Democracy Is The Most Revolutionary Thing In The World, Because If You Have Power You Use It To Meet The Needs Of You And Your Community.

I Think Mrs Thatcher Did More Damage To Democracy, Equality, Internationalism, Civil Liberties, Freedom In This Country Than Any Other Prime Minister This Century. When The Euphoria Surrounding Her Departure Subsides You Will Find That In A Year Or Two's Time There Will Not Be A Tory Who Admits Ever Supporting Her. People In The Street Will Say, Thank God She's Gone

I'm Interested In Language. We Used To Call It The War Office. Then It Became The Ministry Of Defence. We Used To Talk About The Hydrogen Bomb, Now We Talk About A Deterrent. And The Language Is Very Cleverly Constructed To Give The Impression That It's Not What It Is.
