“If not us, who?
If not now, when?”
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
"A Nation that is afraid to let its PEOPLE judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“When you teach a man to hate & fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his colour or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies.
We must admit the vanity of our false distinctions among men & learn to find our own advancement in the search for the advancement of all. We must admit in ourselves that our children’s future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others. We must recognise that this short life can neither be ennobled nor enriched by hatred or revenge.”
Robert F Kennedy
“I’m not arguing that there are no decent people in the Tory party, but they’re like bits of sweetcorn in a turd: technically they’ve kept their integrity, but they’re still embedded in shit.”
Iain Banks
"No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin."
"The Tories, every election must have a bogey man. If you haven’t got a programme, a bogey man will do."
Aneurin Bevan
"We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. That isn’t political correctness. Its a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity & our openness & the way we respect every faith."
Barack Obama

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
