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.

More quotes by Ken Livingstone
I fear that within 10 years gays, trade union activists and left wing politicians will be led off to the gas chambers.
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
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
Just because I am critical of the coalition doesn't mean I am anti-English. I am just anti-scumbags.
Ken Livingstone
I'm in exactly the same position as everybody else who has a small business.
Ken Livingstone
I liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.
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
You lose power in Britain and you are just Joe Public again.
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
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
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
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
My administration will tackle these issues in consultation with the black communities of London.
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
I go all around London advocating lesbian and gay rights.
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
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.
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 undertake that, in the exercise of my functions of that office I will have regard to any guidance with respect to ethical standards issued by the secretary of state under Section 66 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.
Ken Livingstone
