More quotes by Neil Kinnock
At various times in the next 20 or 30 years I think it reasonable to anticipate that I will be among the leadershp of the Labour Party, but as far as being leader, I can't see it happening, and I'm not particularly keen on it happening.
Neil Kinnock
I take notice of those who have argued consistently for the modernisation of the E.U., but so many of the skeptics in Britain are just hostile to the whole European idea.
Neil Kinnock
I would die for my country, but I could never let my country die for me.
Neil Kinnock
I must emphasise that there is nothing in the Labour Party constituion that could, or should prevent people from holding opinions which favour Leninist-Trotskyism. Certainly Marxism has, and will continue to have an important function in the Labour Party.
Neil Kinnock
[Marx's theories] gave me a political and intellectual justification for what I believed in a way that nothing else did.
Neil Kinnock
Compassion is not a sloppy sentimental feeling for people who are underprivileged or sick... it is an absolutely practical belief that regardless of a person's background, ability or ability to pay, he should be provided with the best that society has to offer.
Neil Kinnock
I warn you not to fall ill, I warn you not to get old.
Neil Kinnock
That sort of fundamentalism which treats possession of private property not as a desirable economic and personal asset but as a condition of liberty is a form of primitive religion.
Neil Kinnock
We cannot remove the evils of capitalism without taking its source of power: ownership.
Neil Kinnock
I?m not even sure I?d go into a reformed House of Lords. But let?s put it like this, the decision would have been easier had there been not even complete reform but a substantial stride.
Neil Kinnock
They travel best in gangs, hanging around like clumps of bananas, thick skinned and yellow.
Neil Kinnock
Without false modetsy, I don't think I have a fraction of the talent of either Bevan of Foot.
Neil Kinnock
The trouble with the Socialist Workers Party is that they live in an historical thermos-flask.
Neil Kinnock
Resentment is an extremely bitter diet, I have no desire to make my own toxins.
Neil Kinnock
Someone up there likes me.
Neil Kinnock
Margaret Thatcher was not a malicious person. She was a person who couldn't see, or didn't want to see, the unfairness and disadvantaging consequences of the application of what she thought to be a renewing ideology.
Neil Kinnock
People who are in politics to be right all the time would be better off taking up fly-fishing. It's less dangerous. Politics that is not applied in the real world and doesn't address the real challenges and paradoxes and agonies is a hobby.
Neil Kinnock
The unforgivable political sin is vanity, the killer diet is sour grapes.
Neil Kinnock
In the U.K. the far Right is a stain on society and there is a cultural resistance to it.
Neil Kinnock
New!Loyalty is a fine quality, but in excess it fills political graveyards.
