If there's one thing above all that sets me apart from Tony Blair it is this - I am not embarrassed to articulate the instincts of the British people.

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.

Tony Blair is a brilliant politician. Unfortunately, his legacy is entwined with George W. Bush because of Iraq.

People in the U.K. cannot understand whether Blair has lost his mind or whether his ambition to be the second-most-powerful man in the world made him lose his mind.

All children are much more intelligent than they are told they are or the school thinks they are; they just have different intelligences.

The clever men at Oxford, know all that there is to be knowed. But they none of them know one half as much, as intelligent Mr. Toad.

Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots.

They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart.

The British keep employing me, and that makes me like them. It also makes me think they're very intelligent.

We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
