What absolute nonsense. Don't most people want to work hard to do better by their own families? To have a better house, better holidays, better furniture? Isn't that a worthwhile thing?. Wouldn't life be very much better if more people took responsibility for their families and

The right honourable gentleman's remarks are feeble and nonsense. Illegal immigrants have to be returned to their country of origin. It is the custom of international law that such illegal immigrants are received back.

It's the smokescreen people who come out in force shouting “racist” when we bring the immigration problem into the open and we try, despite the efforts of the rabble-rousers, to discuss in a reasonable way the genuine fears and concerns of many of our citizens. [. ]. I believe

You all know full well that if you produce too much of something, its value will fall. That's elementary. Money is just the same. If you print too much of it, its value will fall . It isn't a newfangled theory. It is as essential as the law of gravity.

The pursuit of equality itself is a mirage. What's more desirable and more practicable than the pursuit of equality is the pursuit of equality of opportunity. And opportunity means nothing unless it includes the right to be unequal and the freedom to be different. I believe you

Caught in the middle of a political battle, @BlackRock reaffirmed its focus is helping millions of Americans save for retirement. They warned that injecting politics from either side risks undermining financial performance.

Prosperity won't come by inventing more and more lavish public expenditure programmes. You do not grow richer by ordering another cheque-book from the bank. No nation ever grew more prosperous by taxing its citizens beyond their capacity to pay.

I am deeply suspicious of all kinds of cultural relativism. In particular, the notion that there is nothing deeper to our beliefs than the fact that we hold them. We are also now berated for the alleged sins of our tradition by some critics. Columbus, these critics hold, did

Tyrannies are defeated not by groups of nations. They are defeated by strong nation states with strong conviction that someone who carries out aggression must be stopped.

Better wrap yourself in the Union Jack than the red flag. What the hon. gentleman has said amounts to a totally protectionist policy, which would lead to retaliation against us; it will reduce the capability of our export industries and therefore our standard of living; it would

The greatest danger to government in Britain—and the United States—is having too many elected representatives who think they make their reputation or keep their seats by securing an extra chunk of public spending for their own constituency or cause. You don't judge morality in

Too often the democratic peaceful nations let slip their guard because they assumed the danger had gone; that the future would be one of peace and progress. And too often they were wrong. For the course of history is not predictable. Great plans for peace can precede great wars.

True internationalism consists of co-operation between nations: the false internationalism, of which we see too many signs today, attempts to multiply international bureaucracies while paralysing international action. The basic reality of nationhood was always the foundation of

National self-determination is a basic human right. Of course, it is sometimes possible for dictators to exploit national consciousness: and there will always be demagogues of left or right anxious to do so. But put nationalism at the service of true democracy - as in Poland -

Liberty can only exist in a civilised society with a rule of law—and with the right to private property. If everything belongs to the state, you will not have the liberty to stand up against the state.

There are people in this country who are the great destroyers. They wish to destroy the kind of free society we have. They wouldn't have the freedom in the kind of society they wish to impose on us.

Today's international policy makers have succumbed to a liberal contagion whose most alarming symptom is to view any new and artificial structure as preferable to a traditional and tested one.

They seek to use freedom in order to destroy freedom. They must not succeed.
