We believe that government in Britain should be working to restore our reputation on the international stage after Iraq and engage better within Europe.

The British have given me good support for the last 8 years and have always believed in me.

If British troops are committed to action, then the nation will, of course, support them. Their courage and skill is not in doubt.

I respect the British a lot - their history, their past, their culture. I think it's beautiful, what they have with the monarchy.

Well British troops are superb in the field in terms of conflict.

We believe that government in Britain is there to protect people from terrorism and from the worst criminality, but never at the expense of our civil liberties and the basic tenets of our legal system.

The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.

I was a guy who trusted the government. Now, I don't trust a damn thing they do.

The British nation is unique in this respect. They are the only people who like to be told how bad things are, who like to be told the worst.

Britain, along with the U.S.A., is war weary, and after the travesty of Iraq and Afghanistan, has grave misgivings in any future involvement in the Middle East. The ghost of Tony Blair and his single-minded determination to attack Iraq, at any cost, has cast a long shadow over British politics. The British public have a long collective memory.
