"But we were not just anti-
Macmillan; we were anti-industry,
anti-capitalism, anti-advertising,
anti-selling, anti-profit, anti-
patriotism, anti-monarchy, anti-
Empire, anti-police, anti-armed
forces, anti-bomb, anti-authority.
Almost anything that made the
world a freer, safer and more
prosperous place, you name it, we
were anti it."
Antony Jay, Telegraph, July 2007

"..the final answer, frankly, is the
vigorous use of state power to
coerce and repress. It may be my
Presbyterian background, but I
firmly believe that repression can
be a great, civilising instrument for
good. Stamp hard on certain
'natural' beliefs for long enough
and you can almost kill them off."
Andrew Marr, The Guardian Feb.
1999
JEREMY PAXMAN
"But the bigger question is whether
the BBC itself has a future. Working
for it has always been a bit like
living in Stalin ’s Russia, with one
five-year-plan, one resoundingly
empty slogan after another. One
BBC, Making it Happen, Creative
Futures, they all blur into one great
vacuous blur. I can ’t even recall
what the current one is. Rather like
Stalin ’s Russia, they express a belief
that the system will go on forever."
Jeremy Paxman, The James
McTaggart Memorial, 24th August
2007
