I Think Very Often The Boat-rockers Turn

We Used To Have A War Office, But Now We Have A Ministry Of Defence, Nuclear Bombs Are Now Described As Deterrents, Innocent Civilians Killed In War Are Now Described As Collateral Damage And Military Incompetence Leading To Us Bombers Killing British Soldiers Is Cosily Described As Friendly Fire. Those Who Are In Favour Of Peace Are Described As Mavericks And Troublemakers, Whereas The Real Militants Are Those Who Want The War.

If One Meets A Powerful Person - Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin Or Bill Gates - Ask Them Five Questions: 'what Power Have You Got? Where Did You Get It From? In Whose Interests Do You Exercise It? To Whom Are You Accountable? And How Can We Get Rid Of You?' If You Cannot Get Rid Of The People Who Govern You, You Do Not Live In A Democratic System.

The Peace Movement Didn't Stop The Iraq But I Think That Blair Would Not Be Able To Go Along And Support An Iranian War.

Mandela Didn't End Apartheid In South Africa, The Poor Guy Was In Jail For 27 Years, It Was The African People That Ended It But He Was A Symbol Of Their Struggle. Or Gandhi In India, Gandhi Was A Great Believer In Non-violence And He Was In And Out Of Jail, But India Became Free. I Think It's Better To Look At What People Can Do Collectively And That's Why It's So Important To Encourage Them.

I've Made Every Mistake - But Mistakes Are How You Learn.
