Quotes by Boris Johnson

One thing you have got to do politically is to identify the ties that bind society together and try to strengthen them.

“You know, sometimes I dont understand whats wrong with us. This is just about the most creative and imaginative country on earth—and yet sometimes we just dont seem to have the gumption to exploit our intellectual property. We split the atom, and now we have to get French or Korean scientists to help us build nuclear power stations. We perfected the finest cars on earth—and now Rolls-Royce is in the hands of the Germans. Whatever we invent, from the jet engine to the internet, we find that someone else carts it off and makes a killing from it elsewhere.”
