“[From a video of a meeting at Wordsley, near Stourbridge in July 2013] How we can possibly be giving a billion pounds a month when we're in this sort of debt to bongo bongo land is completely beyond me.

Especially for some of these, especially for the guy who hacked the soldier to death. I do hope they would ask me to throw the rope over the beam because I'd be delighted to do so.”
