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
I would like to sound like James Mason. I reckon if I'd had a better voice I could have been prime minister. It is the most irritating voice in public life.
Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone
I refuse not to have a sense of humour.
Ken Livingstone
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.

Ken Livingstone

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
I can easily lose myself emotionally in absolute Hollywood garbage.
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 liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.
Ken Livingstone
I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
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 have only ever borrowed money for investment. I have been sound money all my life.
Ken Livingstone
Just because I am critical of the coalition doesn't mean I am anti-English. I am just anti-scumbags.
Ken Livingstone
Everyone changes all the time.
