Britain is a desirable place to live mainly because it is an island, which most people can't get to.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Most of the really successful civilisations survived because they were protected from invasion by mountains, sea, deserts, or a combination of these things. Ask the Russians or the Poles what it's like to live without the shield of the sea.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
I dislike many of Mr Corbyn's opinions - his belief in egalitarianism and high taxation, his enthusiasm for comprehensive schools, his readiness to talk to terrorists, and his support for the E.U.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens

Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Comprehensive schools, as too few understand, have never been designed to improve education.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens

Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Every educated and intelligent person glories in the freedom of women in Western societies to exercise their talents to the full and their freedom to walk safely in the streets of our great cities.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
If migrants from other cultures arrive too fast and in numbers too great for society to absorb and integrate them, they begin to impose those cultures on the host country.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Radical multicultural types will, in the end, destroy the things they claim to like, because they don't understand that liberty and reasonable equality are features of stable, free, conservative societies based on Christian ideas, which guard their borders and are proud of their civilisation.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
How I shall miss Alan Rickman, his beautiful command of English, and a voice he played like a musical instrument.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Direct Grants, private schools which took huge numbers of state pupils, involved effective co-operation between state and private sectors - a thing all modern governments claim they want. So why were they abolished? And why aren't they now restored?
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Revolutions are all based on the false idea that humans and their nature can be changed.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
If you are funny, people will like you. A lot of advertising is based on this simple rule. The Tory MP Boris Johnson has benefited a lot from it.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
If you claim to represent and speak for the people, and they are forced to pay your salary, you have a duty to experience life as near as possible to the way others live it.
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
I can't say I'm sorry to see that the name 'Nigel' is dying out, but I'd be happier if it wasn't being replaced by made-up names out of TV series 'Game Of Thrones.'
Quote by -Peter Hitchens
Would the Protestant Reformation have happened without the printing press? Would the American Revolution have happened without pamphlets? Probably not. But neither printing presses nor pamphlets were the heroes of reform and revolution.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
The potential for the abuse of power through digital networks - upon which we the people now depend for nearly everything, including our politics - is one of the most insidious threats to democracy in the Internet age.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
There is no country on Earth where Internet and telecommunications companies do not face at least some pressure from governments to do things that would potentially infringe on users' rights to free expression and privacy.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
The Patriot Act, passed overwhelmingly but hastily after 9/11, allows the FBI to obtain telecommunication, financial, and credit records without a court order.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
Digital activism did not spring immaculately out of Twitter and Facebook. It's been going on ever since blogs existed.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
When Google went into China, there were some people who said they shouldn't compromise at all - that it is very bad for human rights to do so. But there were other people, particularly Chinese people, who said they were glad Google had gone in.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
The Internet is an empowering force for people who are protesting against the abuse of power.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
In a pre-Internet world, sovereignty over our physical freedoms, or lack thereof, was controlled almost entirely by nation-states.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
Despite the Obama administration's proclaimed commitment to global Internet freedom, the executive branch is not transparent about the types and capabilities of surveillance technologies it is sourcing and purchasing - or about what other governments are purchasing the same technology.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
We're going to get the Internet we deserve, and those people who are the most active in shaping the Internet to their liking are going to win out.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
Trade shows such as the wire tappers' ball are highly secretive and ban journalists from attending. None of the U.S. agencies that attended the wire tappers' ball - including the FBI, the Secret Service, and every branch of the military - were willing to comment when a reporter queried them about their attendance.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
In China, the problem is that with the system of censorship that's now in place, the user doesn't know to what extent, why, and under what authority there's been censorship. There's no way of appealing. There's no due process.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
The better-informed we are, the more we can do to make sure what's happening is in our interests and is accountable to us.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
Digital power is every bit as likely to be abused as physical power, but is often more insidious because it is often wielded in the background until its results manifest themselves in the offline world.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
There are many cases of activists having their Facebook pages and accounts deactivated at critical times, when they are right in the middle of a campaign or organising a demonstration.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
While sanctions against Iran and Syria are intended to constrain those countries' governments, they have had the unfortunate side effect of constraining activists' access to free online software and services used widely across the Middle East, including browsers, online chat applications, and online storage services.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
To have a .cn domain, you have to be a registered business. You have to prove your site is legal.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
While the federal government is required by law to document publicly its wiretapping of phone lines, it is not required to do so with Internet communications.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
Facebook and Google are battling over who will be our gateway to the rest of the Internet through 'like' buttons and universal logins - giving them huge power over our online identities and activities.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
The early idealists and companies and governments have all assumed that the Internet will bring freedom. Yet China proves that this is not the case.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
Social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter should be urged to adhere to business practices that maximize the safety of activists using their platforms.
Quote by -Rebecca MacKinnon
