For anyone who has ever asked why the U.S. needs to address the issue of reparations for its history of slavery, Donald Trump is why. He is the living embodiment of America's unresolved issues.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Internationally, I propose the radical step of not trying to solve complex political problems with 1,000lb bombs; domestically, I propose they start addressing inequality by paying reparations for slavery. I'm well aware that in a society where war and discrimination are now almost entirely normalised, both options sound like madness.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
We live in a country where posting 'Let's riot or something bruv!' on Facebook will get you a couple of years in prison, while writing a column saying we should bomb Syria is practically an entrance exam for public intellectuals.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
There are many indicators of advanced civilisations, but unthinking hero worship of the military isn't one of them.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
The SNP are far from radical, but they do have a knack for producing the odd simple, progressive policy that's hard to argue against.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Ed Miliband's anti-immigration stance is odd: it's hard to vote for a man who doesn't have the confidence to defend his own existence.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
People are medicated and TV is one of the things that they are medicated with.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Isis want to destroy the knowledge that Islam is a beautiful, scientific and intelligent culture, and we are way ahead of them.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
The truth is that modern governments sit at the head of a well-funded security apparatus. They are told that foreign military adventures put domestic populations at risk and they give them the thumbs up anyway.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Our attitudes are fostered by a society built on ideas of dominance, where the solution to crises are force and action, rather than reflection and compromise.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
In times of crisis, we are made to feel we should scrutinise our government's actions less closely, when surely that's when we should pay closest attention.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Perhaps we've got so involved in the false selves we project on social media that we've forgotten that our real selves, our private selves, are different, are worth saving.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Somehow, I always imagine that Trump spends the evenings with his forehead pressed against the cold glass of an aquarium, talking telepathically to the tormented albino squid in which he has hidden his soul.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Creationists have often made me doubt evolution, but probably not in the way they think.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
If leadership is about listening, the great political speeches would have been a little different.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Of course, it's absurd that we trust the Tories with our day-to-day reality, as so many of them don't really inhabit it. Why elect people to run our schools and hospitals who choose not to go to those schools and hospitals?
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Admittedly, the Conservatives are generally more persuasive orators than their Labour counterparts, perhaps a skill developed by spending school holidays trying to lure father out from behind his Daily Telegraph.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Corbyn sounds like a dreadful town, dresses like a catalogue model for the Sue Ryder shop and won't look significantly different when he's been dead for a week.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
If I ever get to meet Vladimir Putin, I will probably take my top off and challenge him to an erotically charged wrestling match, which I will let him win.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I think there is racism at the heart of British policy and has been both in Labour and Conservative times.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
The No 1 priority in TV comedy today is 'don't frighten the horses,' and it's probably No 2 and 3 as well.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I think we live in a quite an immoral society with quite an amoral government and they're going to have to grow up in that and negotiate their own way in it.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
People feel much more comfortable with the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' version of women's liberation: possibly feeling life would be much simpler if the suffragettes hadn't wanted the vote and just really enjoyed chaining themselves to railings.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
There are a lot of problems with democracy. We need to think about how to find the people most qualified for the job.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
In a lot of farther-flung places in Scotland people are guarded at first, but as soon as they get to know you they really hate you.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I think you have a lot of rich and Conservative people who control our country who are racist and their views trickle down through things like tabloid papers.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Supporting Rangers, being in an Orange Lodge, that whole life - that's a valid culture.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Supporting Celtic, waving a tricolour because your parents are Irish - that's a valid culture.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I did a ski festival in Austria once. I was struck by how friendly Austrians were, before gradually realising it's more that Glaswegians are awful.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
The thing that nobody really said about Rebecca Adlington is that she looks pretty weird. She looks like someone who's looking at themselves in the back of a spoon.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I think the most important things my book does is to give readers the address of George Monbiot's website and how to get hold of comic books by Grant Morrison.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
That's what I do in my stand-up. I work hard and hone the material and after a while audiences expect what I do to be good.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I've never felt any sense of kinship with other comedians; they've always seemed too needy.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
Comedy is a terrible way to meet women. It's certainly a way to start talking to them, but they always have preconceptions about you.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I absolutely loathe adverts. I won't go into the cinema until 20 minutes after the film is due to start because there are so many.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I read tons of comic books. My favourite is Grant Morrison, a Scottish comic writer.
Quote by -Frankie Boyle
I've said jokes where I thought people might get up and hit me for this. A couple of people have thought about it. But they didn't. It gives you a lot of power, because if you're on shows where people are worried about getting sacked and you're not, then you're transcendent because you say what other people would like to say.
