More quotes by Ken Livingstone
I think it's much more important to keep people in work than have pay rises.
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 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'd love to write about my growing sexual awareness, but the press would turn it into something squalid.
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
Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.
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
I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.
Ken Livingstone
When you get into politics, you find that all your worst nightmares about it turn out to be true, and the people who are attracted to large concentrations of power are precisely the ones who should be kept as far away from it as possible.
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
I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
Ken Livingstone
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.
Ken Livingstone
My administration will tackle these issues in consultation with the black communities of London.
Ken Livingstone
I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
Ken Livingstone
Everyone changes all the time.
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
What defines someone's music taste is their teens and early 20s. It's that combination of your sexual awakening and the music of the time, it fixes you forever.
Ken Livingstone
I don't just denounce suicide bombers. I denounce those governments which use indiscriminate slaughter to advance their foreign policy.
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'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
