More quotes by Ken Livingstone
You lose power in Britain and you are just Joe Public again.
Ken Livingstone
I've always been a workaholic. I reckon, on average, I've had less than one day a year off in my working career.
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
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
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
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
Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.
Ken Livingstone
To tackle climate change you don't have to reduce your quality of life, but you do have to change the way you live
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
I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
Ken Livingstone
I have only ever borrowed money for investment. I have been sound money all my life.
Ken Livingstone
It is all very well for people with fine arts degrees, but for ordinary people like myself, we want a statue to look like the person.
Ken Livingstone
Every year the international finance system kills more people than the Second World War. But at least Hitler was mad, you know.
Ken Livingstone
[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
Ken Livingstone
I liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.
Ken Livingstone
All the politics of the post-war period was about the clash between the Soviet Union and America, and virtually all issues ended up being subordinated to that. Now, the question is, what is the most a socialist can achieve in a global economy?
Ken Livingstone
Just because I am critical of the coalition doesn't mean I am anti-English. I am just anti-scumbags.
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
If I was courting the Muslim vote, I wouldn't have put establishing the partnership ceremony at the forefront of my first term, would I? I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
Ken Livingstone
