rights names people
Human rights are not worthy of the name if they do not protect the people we don't like as well as those we do.
running real ambition
There's no secret about my ambition, I do not want to go into the House of Commons. My only real political interest is in London and if one day I'm in a position to run for mayor, then terrific.
teacher black needs
We need more male black teachers, tempting them with extra cash if necessary.
people boards problem
Across the board, people are looking at the problem, but simply not changing anywhere near fast enough.
asking-questions asking has-beens
I ask questions, and a large part of my life has been spent asking questions of Ken Livingstone.
people black asian
I don't want to have people brought in simply because they are black or Asian.
brother together spoil
My brother and I have too good a relationship to spoil it by working together.
noise anti-religion britain
There's no question that there is more anti-religion noise in Britain.
law different needs
You can't say 'because we decide we're different then we need a different set of laws.
running children law
Once you start to provide public services that have to be run under public rules, for example child protection, then it has to go with public law. Institutions have to make a decision whether they want to do that or they don't want to do that.
children parks yards
Prison service vans that travel 90 miles to take a prisoner 90 yards; paedophiles free to leer at children in the very parks where they have committed horrific crimes.
christian religious discrimination
The most likely victim of actual religious discrimination in British society is a Muslim, but the person who is most likely to feel slighted because of their religion is an evangelical Christian.
country agency law
To me there's nothing different in principle with a Catholic adoption agency, or indeed Methodist adoption agency, saying the rules in our community are different and therefore the law shouldn't apply to us. Why not then say sharia can be applied to different parts of the country? It doesn't work.
book house favourite
Bleak House by Charles Dickens is my favourite book.
