More quotes by Ken Livingstone
I refuse not to have a sense of humour.
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
I take a much more pragmatic view than many people on the Left about working with Neil Kinnock. Kinnock represents the best vehicle possible for achieving socialism now.
Ken Livingstone
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.
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
The people I really most admire are Robert Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt. If you know someone, it is very hard to revere them.
Ken Livingstone
If Voting Changed Anything They'd Abolish It
Ken Livingstone

Ken Livingstone
I have no interest in managing my financial affairs.
Ken Livingstone
I loathe and detest all this trivialisation of politics.
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
You lose power in Britain and you are just Joe Public again.
Ken Livingstone
I grew up in Lambeth, I went to normal schools and I've grown up in a city where people say what they think.
Ken Livingstone
I liked it when we had ugly politicians who droned on about issues.
Ken Livingstone
When I was leader of the GLC, by the time I had been in control for three years, the difference in pay between the cleaner and the director general was a four-to-one ratio. I find that attractive.
Ken Livingstone
[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
Ken Livingstone
Working with the Jewish community is essential to me and what I stand for. I do explicitly see Jewish people as a people - not either a religion or an ethnicity but a people. The Tories take Jewish London for granted. I will not.
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
To tackle climate change you don't have to reduce your quality of life, but you do have to change the way you live
