Quotes by Alexei Sayle (?)

“Pete couldn't believe how sanctimonious somebody could be just because they'd once had a soldering iron stuck up their arse.”
― Alexei Sayle, Barcelona Plates

“Also a fan of being inscrutable, Franco once said, 'You are a the slave of what you say and the master of what you don't say.' He might have added that that approach isn't always guaranteed to work. If you attempt, for example, to be sphinx-like, mysterious and enigmatic when you get to the front of a long queue at the chip shop, you do risk being punched quite hard in the back of the head.”
― Alexei Sayle, Stalin Ate My Homework

“I would have thought it was the sort of house a vampire lived in if I hadn’t been aware that vampire stories were superstitious legends designed to subjugate the enslaved rural classes into unquestioning obedience of feudal autocracy.”
