In the face of ordsprog

In the face of implacable opposition from some of the most vocal critics in Britain, and at the grave and constant risk of personal unpopularity, you have courageously revived, defended and sustained the most humane principles of British and American architecture and town making,

The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.

British talent is involved in the other films like the Constant Gardner and I'd argue we are presenting the best of new British film-making talent in our New British Films strand,

Evangelicals and fundamentalists have in recent decades become the most vocal critics of American Christianity's captivity to culture.

If she doesn't come out and speak against it, she could very easily face opposition. A lot of times it takes one single issue to convince somebody else (to run). She would find herself in a whole lot of trouble if she was not a vocal opponent of this landfill.

Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity. Most of the television I've done over the years has been aimed at British and American audiences. This time, while the target is still Britain and America, the excitement is that there are also six billion inhabitants of the globe.

Today's arrests are an attempt to suppress any vocal opposition to the king, or his attempts to win legitimacy by holding elections. Silencing the leadership, the king hopes, will silence the people. Such actions belie his stated belief in democratic principles and the rule of law.

It's all about people and architecture. Business drivers may change, underwriting and policy administration changes may simultaneously occur, but if you keep them in synch, I don't consider this any more risk. In fact, I consider less risk than older platforms or ways of computing. You have to be clear about your architecture.

Winning the series[2-0 against Zimbabwe] itself was a gain. It was tough for us simply because it was a no-win situation. If you win, the critics say that the opposition was weak. If you lose, they rubbish you on all fronts. It is just not easy to please the critics.

The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth. . . the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us. . .

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

If you allow those who are the most vocal and most antagonistic to get a meeting with the president for fear that publicity will hurt you if you don't, you're creating incentives for your critics to become even more antagonistic and more vocal. Then, you're forever stuck in: Will you or won't you meet? You'll no longer lead. You'll just wrestle with meetings.

We don't have televised trials in Britain, so this is the first time we've really seen a trial like this that has involved a British defendant. It's been a sensational case, and one that has gripped the British media.

Revived in this country the long forgotten beauties of Gothic architecture.

Britain has come on tenfold, but to be selfish about it we're all Scottish at the moment. It's about us. We'll go back to the British thing in a bit, but for the moment we've got to take all the praise and all the success for Scotland until we go back to competing for Britain because we don't get to compete for Scotland very often. We want to make the most of it, so I'm not having any of the limelight taken away by Britain at the moment, to be honest.

Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.
