Text Quotes
It is no longer acceptable in British politics to be fat or eccentric or religious  (British Quotes) I’ve committed myself to serve my constituents in South Shields and I have committed myself to British politics.  (British Quotes) There’s a tradition in British intellectual life of mocking any non-political force that gets involved in politics, especially within the sphere of the arts and the theatre.  (British Quotes) I’m highly political. I spend an awful lot of time in the U.S. trying to influence decision-makers. But I don’t feel in tune with British politics.  (British Quotes) If there is any emergence of a fourth party in British politics, it is the task of the Liberal Party to strangle it at birth.  (British Quotes) That this occurred at the launch of the report into the Labour Party’s recent troubles with antisemitism shows how deep the sickness is in parts of left of British politics today.  (British Quotes) I think this is what we must not lose sight of, present a confident, positive and optimistic platform for our country’s future in which this Party appeals to the centre ground of British politics.  (British Quotes) Bolshoi Babylon is the work of filmmakers Mark Franchetti and Nicholas Read. Franchetti has been a Moscow-based journalist for 18 years. He won a British Press Award for his coverage of the 2002 Moscow theater siege in which 130 hostages were killed. He’s covered Russian politics and the war in Ukraine.  (British Quotes) I’ve always worked on the fringe of the British press establishment, carving out this niche for myself.  (British Quotes) The British press has an insatiable appetite for making public things that should be private. It’s a prurience that I’ve never understood.  (British Quotes) When I came to Britain I was in awe of the British press, afraid of them. But they’re not as ferocious as people think. In some instances they are, but when it comes to taking on power they’re really deferential.  (British Quotes) When I’m lying drunk at an airport the press call me Irish... but when I win an Oscar, I’m classified as British.  (British Quotes) The British press isn’t as vicious as it used to be, and these days it’s sort of cool to care again. Everyone loves an everyman anthem.  (British Quotes) I was never too keen on the British music press. They’ve called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn’t write our own songs.  (British Quotes) The author points out that novices to total war, and this Hitler and the British press have in common, overreact to daily events and lose sight of overall strategy.  (British Quotes) If you look at the British royal family and take away the scandals and the goofy stuff that’s going on, people love to have this king to look up to - the royals are like celebrities.  (British Quotes) I still read the British papers, but I’ve never been a Royalist, ever. It’s funny, there always seems to be much more of a fascination with the Royal Family over here then there does in England.  (British Quotes) The US Constitution serves the same function as the British royal family: it offers a comforting symbol of tradition and continuity, thereby masking a radical change in the actual system of power.  (British Quotes) It’s because Gandhi believed in villages and because the British ruled from the cities; therefore, Nehru thought of New Delhi as an un-Indian city.  (British Quotes) Ineptitude and negligence directed British policies in India more than any cynical desire to divide and rule, but the British were not above exploiting rivalries.  (British Quotes) The devadasis have a multilayered story, a story in which poverty, deprivation and injustice against women is central - but what has happened to them is absolutely an outcome of imperialism and the impact of British rule in India.  (British Quotes) The freedom fighters in India’s long struggle for independence from British rule, or members of the African National Congress, were once classed as terrorists. History, as they say, is written by victors, but history also has many cunning corridors - how much time must elapse before all those tricky side-passages are revealed?  (British Quotes) If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising. For the best part of two centuries, we British ruled the waves, controlled two-fifths of the planet, and believed it was our responsibility to bring civilisation to those who allegedly lacked it.  (British Quotes) What senseless violence does is to prolong the lease of life of the British or foreign rule  (British Quotes) Christianity in India is inextricably mixed up for the last hundred and fifty years with the British rule.  (British Quotes) The collectors of revenue and the policeman are the only symbols by which millions in India’s villages know British rule.  (British Quotes) There are no Rohingya among the races [in Burma]. We only have Bengalis who were brought for farming [during British rule].  (British Quotes) Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act which deprived a whole nation of arms as the blackest.  (British Quotes) The difference between the American version of ‘Live Aid’ and the British one - in England, if you wanted a cup of tea, you made it yourself. If you wanted a sandwich, you bought it. In typical American style, at the American concert, there were laminated tour passes and champagne and caviar.  (British Quotes) My mother always tried to keep a little bit of British culture in our family. We’d drink tea all the time!  (British Quotes)
