• No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

He must speak in calm and objective accents and talk about a dying child in the same way as he would about the pieces inside an internal combustion engine.
