David Blunkett Affected Quotations

I was affected by the harshness of government, the reality of 16-hour days, and the pressures of modern communications.

I'm a great aficionado of history. I was deeply affected by seeing the disintegration of any chance of democracy coping with fascism in the Weimar republic, where woolly-minded, well-meaning liberalism actually allowed the forces of darkness to use democracy, to exploit democracy, to overturn democracy.
