Excellent piece on Newsworthy yesterday – Is John Key Gutless? Yes He Probably is TBH. Well worth reading for various reasons, but the best bit was these famous political quotes – as Key might have said them:
“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”
– Winston Churchill“Well look, it’s not the first time our nations have had points of contention, but I will certainly be having a reasonably direct conversation on the matter with Mr Hitler at our upcoming meeting.”
“Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
– Ronald Reagan“It’s important we don’t box Mr Gorbachev into a corner. We can’t badger him. We can’t force him to change policy.”
“The hottest place in hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.”
– Martin Luther King Jr“At the end of the day, I think most New Zealanders will agree that this is a complex issue and there’s no easy answers.”
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.”
– Abraham Lincoln“Of course this is bit of a challenge for us, but we will be looking at whether they can demonstrate a bit more flexibility on this particular point.”
Pharaoh, let my people go!
– Moses“Pharaoh, you know what, don’t worry about it.”
Perhaps Standardistas can add some more…
