“As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see “the River Tiber foaming with much blood”.”
Alwyn Turner, Crisis? What Crisis?: Britain in the 1970s

Alwyn Turner
“When Vanessa Redgrave, an active member of the Workers Revolutionary Party, was rehearsing her appearance on the Morecambe and Wise show, she attempted to engage the two men in political debate, arguing that they too were part of an exploited working class. ‘Do you own the BBC?’ she asked fervently. ‘No,’ replied Ernie Wise, casting a casual glance around the studio, ‘but we’re willing to make them an offer.”

“World War II has turned from history into myth,’ commented Gerald Glaister, the producer of TV series Colditz and Secret Army. ‘It is our last frontier, the English equivalent of the western.”

C.J. Sansom
“You know, the Church has a doctrine called just war. St Thomas Aquinas wrote on it, though the doctrine is much older than that. A State going to war must have tried all other options, must have justice on its side and have an honourable purpose in mind. None of Henry’s wars has been like that.”
C.J. Sansom, Heartstone

“Wisdom is at no time more conspicuous, nor more amiable, than in the acknowledgement of error.”
Iain Dale, The Prime Ministers: 1721–2020 Three Hundred Years of Political Leadership
