When your back is against the wall, there is only one thing to do, and that is turn around and fight.

In the next ten years we will have to continue to make changes which will make the whole of this country a genuinely classless society.

I am walking over hot coals suspended over a deep pit at the bottom of which are a large number of vipers baring their fangs.
