Peter Hill Quotations

We have no hesitation at all in writing about those things. The readers are massively concerned. We get so many letters. We get massive, massive response to these issues, an enormous response.

My job is to sell the Daily Express. My job isn't anything else. My job is to produce newspapers that people want to read and I can tell you that people want to read about the Diana conspiracy because the figures tell me that they do, seriously tell me that they do. People are fascinated and people tell me that they are fascinated. When I talk to people, they are fascinated by these stories and the more we write them, the more they are turning out to be true.

People were very proud of it and very complimentary, genuinely so. It has given us a greater sense of purpose than perhaps we had before.

I believe there are enough grounds to think they might turn out to be true. I don't know, but there are definitely so many things, so many strange coincidences, so many things have happened that shouldn't have happened that there are enough grounds to believe that something is wrong here. Very, very wrong.

our main concern is passengers and crew at the moment.

Sri Lankan's presence in the United States has already established an advantage for us over our competitors to the increasingly important markets in South Asia.

This year we aren't growing the fleet but are working the planes harder. For the airline, everything is dependent on what happens to fuel.

Total traffic revenue, from passengers and cargo, is up 10 percent in the first five months and we should be able to hold that figure for the rest of the year. With our efforts to cut costs, the company should make a small profit this year as well.

So why are you going to piss them all off? Unless somebody does something where they destroy themselves and I'm thinking of someone like Gary Glitter, for instance.

They may look strong but in many ways I think they are quite weakened and what gives me confidence is the idea that Marx had that every economic system contains the seeds of its own destruction. I firmly believe that the Daily Mail contains the seeds of its own destruction and they are starting to sprout.

It's been a long process to try to make the Daily Express into a newspaper that really does have a firm, and good, set of beliefs that people are aware of.

Not only did the airline have to be profitable, it had to be top class.

By introducing double daily services, we are building on that advantage by offering our customers a choice of flights that provide even more connections to our rapidly expanding network.

I consulted Richard and said 'this is what I think we should do' and he said 'you are absolutely right', even though he is not really a Conservative supporter at all.
