Everyone changes all the time.
Ken Livingstone
Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.
Ken Livingstone
I can easily lose myself emotionally in absolute Hollywood garbage.
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
The world is run by monsters and you have to deal with them. Some of them run countries, some of them run banks, some of them run news corporations.
Ken Livingstone
Just because I am critical of the coalition doesn't mean I am anti-English. I am just anti-scumbags.
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
Racism serves as the cutting edge of the most reactionary movements. An ideology that starts by declaring one human being inferior to another is the slope whose end is at Auschwitz.
Ken Livingstone
I mean I get loads of money, all from different sources. You give it to your accountant. They manage it. But you pay corporation tax. If you're then taking it out and spending it on yourself, you have to pay more.
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
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
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
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 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
[Pigeons are] rats with wings.
Ken Livingstone
I don't just denounce suicide bombers. I denounce those governments which use indiscriminate slaughter to advance their foreign policy.
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
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
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
