The unforgivable political sin is vanity, the killer diet is sour grapes.
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
New!Loyalty is a fine quality, but in excess it fills political graveyards.
Neil Kinnock

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
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
