More quotes by Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone
I refuse not to have a sense of humour.
Ken Livingstone
We look to the left and to the right And we need help but nobody's in sight Where is the man that we all need Tell him he's to come and rescue me.
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
My administration will tackle these issues in consultation with the black communities of London.
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
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.
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
You lose power in Britain and you are just Joe Public again.
Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone
