- [on rape] Not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion. Some people believe that when you go to bed with somebody, take off your clothes, and have sex with them and then fall asleep, you're already in the sex game with them.
- The comparison of Margaret Thatcher with Mr Churchill [Winston Churchill] is utterly absurd. We'd be conducting this conversation in German if it was not for Mr Churchill. He saved the very existence of this country, while Mrs Thatcher did her best to destroy what was good about this country and did destroy more than a third of our manufacturing capacity.
- Was Mrs Thatcher polite about the miners when she destroyed their communities, leaving them social slag heaps of needles and crime and vice and idleness? Was she polite to the steelworkers when she destroyed them? To the print workers when she destroyed them? She laid waste to this country. Spare me this sanctimony about politeness please. There are millions of people in this country who hate the very word Thatcher and Thatcherism which continues until this day.
