More quotes by William Hague
When a Cabinet Minister who is sacked for telling lies is re-appointed, in the face of every constitutional convention, only for the same man to be sacked again from the same Cabinet for the same offence by the same Prime Minister no wonder the public are cynical about politics.
William Hague
Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law.
William Hague
Well, if you're looking for me to lead a normal representative life, well good luck finding a foreign secretary who'd be like that - totally dependant on the political system and has never earned any money. Then you'll get the politicians you deserve.
William Hague
We're not getting involved in terms of sending ground forces into Libya. Let's be clear about that. And indeed the UN Resolution forbids that. It says no foreign occupation of any part of Libya.
William Hague
I think the way things have been left after Iraq is that people won't believe the Government of the day, so they have to know that lessons have been learnt and that all political parties and people, whether they were for or against the invasion of Iraq, have learnt lessons.
William Hague
Syria should not belong to one family, to one coterie, or to one party. It belongs to all the people of Syria equally, in all their religious and ethnic diversity.
William Hague
I'm not, nor is anybody I know in government part of a nasty right wing clique.
William Hague
Let's not be afraid to speak the common sense truth: you can't have high standards without good discipline.
William Hague
The world is not going into concentric blocs of power. It is actually going into a diffusion of power with more centres of decision-making than ever in human civilisation. That requires you to place yourself in far more hubs of power than ever before.
William Hague
The people of Britain want a Home Secretary who will give them back their streets. They want a Home Secretary who will speak up for the victim, not the criminal.
William Hague
I gave up lots of things I love doing: writing, and business, and playing the piano and so on.
William Hague
The EU should be concentrated on adapting to globalisation and global competitiveness, not building more powerful centralised institutions in Brussels.
William Hague
Elected presidents are for countries.
William Hague
It's really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process, supported by European countries at the same time.
William Hague
In my view what you can't argue for is a system that is neither decisive nor proportional and can be indecisive and disproportionate at the same time.
William Hague
I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.
William Hague
Today further EU targeted sanctions on Syria come into force. The message is clear and unambiguous: those responsible for the repression will be singled out and held accountable.
William Hague
When you reduce taxes on higher earners it's vital to be reducing them on lower earning people as well so the nation shares in the approach.
William Hague
We have to face the reality of climate change. It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.
William Hague
We hope that the long darkness through which the Burmese people have lived may now be coming to an end.
