Guess the quotes 2
This time (under the good suggestions from no. 1) we ask that you only guess one of the quotes. If someone has already guessed one, and you think they are wrong, then enter your name.
Have fun and don’t Google them! If everyone can’t guess a quote then I may leave clues.

Not a clue - a ‘colourful’ and amusing video celebrating Blair leaving…interesting! A bit random I know…something to fill in some time while you are thinking of the quotes!

In the absence of any quotes from Baroness Thatcher (now that IS a clue!), I’ll go for the next most obvious. He’s efferverscent and irrascible. Sadly, in this instance, he’s wrong - very, very wrong - about Red Ken. Nonetheless, he’s the author of quote number 4, he’s Boris Johnson.

Quote 3 has to be from an American because of the spelling of ‘realize’ and that leads me to the conclusion that it was President William Clinton. In some ways it reminds me of Alan Clark’s most famous quote that he had been
‘economical with the actualité’ over his evidence at the Matrix-Chruchill trial. In a way those two politicians aren’t miles apart when one considers their personalities!

I think quote 3 may be Jonathan Aitken, topical because of his return to the fold. I’m thinking maybe he said the quote but did not write it.

I also have a hunch maybe quote one might be Ted Heath, trying to hide his sulk so as not to look quite so grumpy.
