But here's old Ken - he's been crass, he's been insensitive and thuggish and brutal in his language - but I don't think actually if you read what he said, although it was extraordinary and rude, I don't think he was actually anti-Semitic. |
I don't see why people are so snooty about Channel 5. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap dancing, and other related and vital subjects. |
I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis. |
I love tennis with a passion. I challenged Boris Becker to a match once and he said he was up for it but he never called back. I bet I could make him run around. |
I've always known my life would be turned into a farce. I'm just glad it's been entrusted to two such distinguished men of letters. |

It's very, very good news for Cameron. He's going to storm through, I've absolutely no doubt he's going to be Prime Minister. |
Ken doesn't think he's got anything to say sorry for and if that's really his feeling, then I think that he should stick to his guns. |
My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive. |
My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters. |

Sometimes, in our thinking about higher education, we're too narrowly confined to a utilitarian calculus about what it's doing to the bottom line of UK plc. I wanted to make the point that higher education adds immeasurably to the value of the UK economy without necessarily obliging everybody to pursue courses that have some immediate vocational application. I wanted to stick up for medieval history, among other things, which was deprecated by Charles Clarke. |
The dreadful truth is that when people come to see their MP they have run out of better ideas. |
The Tory Party - the funkiest, most jiving Party on Earth! |
