Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for. I do explicitly see Jewish people as a people - not either a religion or an ethnicity but a people. The Tories take Jewish London for granted. I will not.

More quotes by Ken Livingstone
I can easily lose myself emotionally in absolute Hollywood garbage.
Ken Livingstone
The market is a brilliant system for the exchange of goods and services, but it doesn't protect the environment unless it's regulated, it doesn't train your workforce unless it's regulated, and it doesn't give you the long-term investment you want.
Ken Livingstone
It would actually be quite nice if the American ambassador in Britain could pay the [congestion] charge that everybody else is paying and not actually try and skive out of it like some chiselling little crook.
Ken Livingstone
My view is rather than just rage at your impotence you find the best way of achieving as much as you can within whatever constraints there are. It's not the world I would have created but you do what you can within it.
Ken Livingstone
Racism serves as the cutting edge of the most reactionary movements. An ideology that starts by declaring one human being inferior to another is the slope whose end is at Auschwitz.
Ken Livingstone
I grew up in Lambeth, I went to normal schools and I've grown up in a city where people say what they think.
Ken Livingstone
We look to the left and to the right And we need help but nobody's in sight Where is the man that we all need Tell him he's to come and rescue me.
Ken Livingstone
I take a much more pragmatic view than many people on the Left about working with Neil Kinnock. Kinnock represents the best vehicle possible for achieving socialism now.
Ken Livingstone
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.
Ken Livingstone
The world is run by monsters and you have to deal with them. Some of them run countries, some of them run banks, some of them run news corporations.
Ken Livingstone
I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.
Ken Livingstone
I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.
Ken Livingstone
If Voting Changed Anything They'd Abolish It
Ken Livingstone
When I was leader of the GLC, by the time I had been in control for three years, the difference in pay between the cleaner and the director general was a four-to-one ratio. I find that attractive.
Ken Livingstone
The American agenda is sweeping everything before it, and although it's not perfect, the EU is better on environmental issues. It's a less rapacious form of capitalism.
Ken Livingstone
[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
Ken Livingstone
Just because I am critical of the coalition doesn't mean I am anti-English. I am just anti-scumbags.
Ken Livingstone
I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
Ken Livingstone
When you see someone trying to manoeuvre it round the school gates, you have to think, 'You are a complete idiot.'
Ken Livingstone
I think George Bush is the most corrupt American president since Harding in the Twenties. He is not the legitimate president. This really is a completely unsupportable government and I look forward to it being overthrown as much as I looked forward to Saddam Hussein being overthrown.
