The things they say…
“They don’t hang around in Sussex, do they?”
– Broadcaster Gyles Brandreth on the short time
between the Duchess of Sussex’s wedding and the announcement that she is
pregnant. “The UK Government has spent two years asserting that no deal is better than a bad deal. However they will almost certainly try to railroad MPs into accepting a bad or blindfold deal on the grounds that no deal would be a catastrophe. They are threatening us with fire, to make us choose the frying pan”
– Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s First Minister, on
Brexit. “The Prime Minister has had to deal with the most impossible situation ever in the history of politics. She is tenacious, she is calm, she does plough on. I think it would be quite nice if all the men stopped shouting and screaming and waving their willies around and maybe just gave her a bit of a hand occasionally” – Commentator Sarah Vine,
wife of Michael Gove, Environment Secretary. “Women are all over the world are raising their hand and saying, ‘I was sexually assaulted in high school and I never told anyone’. Because the case is being made if you didn’t tell anyone it didn’t happen, and the thing we’re learning is millions and millions of women have been assaulted but never said anything”
– Actress Jamie Lee Curtis. “You can’t have white teeth if you’ve been drinking and taking drugs your whole life”
– Actress Nicole Kidman. “When you get to my age the thing you don’t have to do is take your shoes off on American planes” – Monty Python star Eric
Idle, 75. “I don’t think it’s a hotbed of lust. I think the tension of Saturday night throws people together, physically, in every way, emotionally, sensually, dramatically. There is a great physicality, and I think people do fall in love with their partners”
– Arlene Phillips, former Strictly Come Dancing judge on the so-called Strictly
curse.
