I Have Never Regarded Politics

No Amount Of Cajolery, And No Attempts 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.

You Don't Have To Gaze Into A Crystal Ball When You Can Read An Open Book.

I Know That The Right Kind Of Leader For The Labour Party Is A Desiccated Calculating Machine Who Must Not In Any Way Permit Himself To Be Swayed By Indignation. If He Sees Suffering, Privation Or Injustice He Must Not Allow It To Move Him, For That Would Be Evidence Of The Lack Of Proper Education Or Of Absence Of Self-control. He Must Speak In Calm And Objective Accents And Talk About A Dying Child In The Same Way As He Would About The Pieces Inside An Internal Combustion Engine.

Now, The Vicissitudes That Afflict The Individual Have Their Source In Society. It Is This Situation That Has Given Currency To The Phrase Social Forces. Personal Relations Have Given Way To Impersonal Ones. The Great Society Has Arrived And The Task Of Our Generation Is To Bring It Under Control. The Study Of How It Is To Be Done Is The Function Of Politics.

The Tories Always Hold The View That The State Is An Apparatus For The Protection Of The Swag Of The Property Owners ... Christ Drove The Money Changers Out Of The Temple, But You Inscribe Their Title Deed On The Altar Cloth.
