Values unrelated to modern reality are not just electorally hopeless, the values themselves become devalued. They have no purchase on the real world.
From Tony Blair
So actually I only got a mobile phone the day after I left being Prime Minister.
This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism.
The purpose of terrorism lies not just in the violent act itself. It is in producing terror. It sets out to inflame, to divide, to produce consequences which they then use to justify further terror.
But as I always say to people I'm essentially a public service person.
I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country.
I feel like everyone else in this country today. I am utterly devastated.
I believe Mrs. Thatcher's emphasis on enterprise was right.
In Downing Street they called me 'Boss'. Civil servants would always call me 'Prime Minister'.
I have long believed this interdependence defines the new world we live in.
