Theresa May, a Remainer, assumed that all of the Brexit voters are racist, thinks we will use this to kick British citizens out of the country; it is despicable.
Quote by -Claire Fox
What I have always thought is that there should be a proper national conversation about what kind of immigration policies we have.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I have fought for open immigration which is something I disagree with Nigel Farage on.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Whenever excessive regulation is on the horizon, you can guarantee our kids will be wheeled out as a battering ram against adult opposition.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Maybe the Tory party might, instead of telling the Brexit Party what to do, make an approach to the Brexit Party and say I'll tell you what, we'll stand aside in certain areas. That would be a very positive thing for me, let's work together for a new kind of politics.
Quote by -Claire Fox
The first job of the Brexit Party is to make sure Brexit's delivered and if that involves electoral pacts, that might happen.
Quote by -Claire Fox
The argument about the need to regulate the digital space has to be weighed against freedom of expression in our society, whether we are interacting in a virtual world or in the real world where we have the growth of so-called 'safe spaces.'
Quote by -Claire Fox
I've spent my whole life fighting for leftwing causes, so I can tell you, no one is more surprised than me to be standing as candidate for Nigel Farage's Brexit party.
Quote by -Claire Fox
TV and radio debates seem inflamed, with all that shouting, but real disagreement is always avoided; they conceal their lack of content.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Public discourse degenerated. There's no longer a place for intelligent debate at universities, where people just work for degrees and careers. My own experience was how my trade union's lively branch debates dwindled to a few people round cups of coffee. There's a climate of people frightened to say what they think for fear of offending someone.
Quote by -Claire Fox
The notion that one's home is one's castle and you can pull up the drawbridge is not one that people in public policy circles believe in.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I want politicians to be held to account for their politics and their principles, or lack of them, but I find it irritating that we have a culture where people are more interested in trivial gossip than substantive matters.
Quote by -Claire Fox
There's a palpable frustration with the assumption that everyone who's under the age of 25 has got the attention span of a gnat and isn't interested in events and ideas.
Quote by -Claire Fox
There has been far too much of journalists deciding they are on the side of something and going out to get the story, instead of truth seeking which is a different thing.
Quote by -Claire Fox
One of the great things about journalism, at its best I mean, is its forensic, investigative truth seeking instincts.
Quote by -Claire Fox
We've lost a lot of regard for straight forward news stories, and that has then been supplemented by comment, not even analysis, which has created a lot of celebrity journalists.
Quote by -Claire Fox
An ever-widening definition of abuse can incite a culture of fear and complaint: encouraging teachers and girls to name and shame could mean labelling sexually awkward teenage boys as sex pests.
Quote by -Claire Fox
If a boy pings a girl's bra it may be unpleasant and annoying, but is it really assault?
Quote by -Claire Fox
Children are more restricted than ever when it comes to taking physical risks - one of the ways previous generations built resilience. Thanks to health and safety mania, leapfrog, marbles and conkers are now considered unsafe.
Quote by -Claire Fox
We tell children their wellbeing is paramount, but we are also guilty of mollycoddling them. There's a constant emphasis on their vulnerability, which is proving toxic.
Quote by -Claire Fox
We need a younger generation that's prepared to grow a backbone, go out into the world, take risks and make difficult decisions. Otherwise the future doesn't bode well for any of us.
Quote by -Claire Fox
There is a strand of self-absorption and fragility running through this generation; all too ready to cry 'victim' at the first hint of a situation they don't like.
Quote by -Claire Fox
If you are a young, white, straight man in today's society, you are in trouble.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I think the influence of contemporary feminism has been very unhelpful to the current generation of girls. They are constantly being encouraged to speak out about how they feel victimised.
Quote by -Claire Fox
We have all had to deal with cruel remarks from other children, and it has made us stronger as a result. But today every minor slight is analysed to determine whether or not it is racist, sexist, homophobic and so on.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Yes, we know that obesity is an issue, but it isn't the end of the world as is reported everywhere.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I am ever hopeful that there are generations of young Chinese people who are really thinking about the future and what kind of society they want.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I am generally enthusiastic about cities. Here in the West there is a panic. Every time we have a debate about cities, we talk about the problems of cities.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I think a lot of things have become associated with the Right. For example, an unapologetic commitment to progress and modernity is now almost always associated with neo-conservatism whereas it traditionally used to be associated with left-wing thinking and moving society forward.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I think there is some kind of disillusionment in the West about the gains of modernity and of economic growth and it takes a form of skepticism about the gains of prosperity generally.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Would it be preferable to argue for a fairer system whereby the unremarkable should be considered leadership material? With such an attitude, can we wonder why mediocrity is now a mark of Labour's hierarchy?
Quote by -Claire Fox
Are Labour members inherently bigoted against women, unable to objectively assess political attributes beyond the gender prism? This accusation seems particularly ludicrous when levelled at a party so much in thrall to identity politics that it sometimes feels more like a student union than an organisation set up to defend the working class.
Quote by -Claire Fox
When Labour leadership challenger Jess Phillips urged men to 'pass the mic' to a woman on the top job, telling Sky's Sophy Ridge it would 'look bad' if Labour failed to elect a woman, she more or less admitted not being up to the job.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I am a passionate supporter of liberty, equality and popular sovereignty. These values have been championed by democratic giants for hundreds of years.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I've been inspired by the rank and file groups of Leavers that have sprung up from Warrington to Watford and beyond, organising pro-Brexit gatherings and marches. I stand in solidarity with their democratic spirit and determination to fight.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Without democracy, we are voiceless subjects. But with it, we are citizens armed with the power to change our destinies.
Quote by -Claire Fox
As a left-wing campaigner for 35 years, I've been arrested on picket lines, led anti-imperialist demonstrations and spoken at anti-deportation protests outside police stations. I've made speeches at street rallies, in prisons and universities and at pubs.
Quote by -Claire Fox
A cursory look at coverage of the so-called 'Free Tommy' brigade, centered around the alleged censorship of Tommy Robinson, a notorious anti-Islam campaigner, reveals how liberals shun defending the free-speech rights of the unpalatable.
Quote by -Claire Fox
Free speech is carelessly tossed to one side in order to silence views and people that liberals label as intolerant.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I continue to take inspiration from John Locke, John Stuart Mill and those more recent freedom fighters of the 1960s who challenged conformism and repression.
Quote by -Claire Fox
I still consider myself a liberal in the Enlightenment sense of the word. But I have to admit that being a liberal these days is confusing.
