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
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
Everyone changes all the time.
Ken Livingstone
My administration will tackle these issues in consultation with the black communities of London.

Ken Livingstone
[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
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
When you see someone trying to manoeuvre it round the school gates, you have to think, 'You are a complete idiot.'
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
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
