More quotes by 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

Ken Livingstone
If Voting Changed Anything They'd Abolish It
Ken Livingstone
I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
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.
Ken Livingstone
There is now a desperate need for a London-wide left caucus of those interested in the GLC and local councils so that we can compare and discuss what is happening in each borough.

Ken Livingstone
I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.
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
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
Everyone changes all the time.
Ken Livingstone
I think it's much more important to keep people in work than have pay rises.
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
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
Just because I am critical of the coalition doesn't mean I am anti-English. I am just anti-scumbags.
Ken Livingstone
