From the sea came a boat with some Israeli commando soldiers who took me by the commando boat to the yacht and put me on the yacht. In the yacht I asked people, who are you. And they said we are Israelis, French and British.
Mordechai Vanunu

Something is happening to Britain and the British. Or has happened. We are said to be passing through a transition, or a turning point, or a transformation; nobody is quite sure which.
Ferdinand Mount

When I was in England doing Romeo and Juliet as a child star, I was interviewed by the British press, who are even more vicious and cruel than the Americans. So I have been extremely guarded ever since.
Claire Bloom

Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think that's because we were trained - until now - in theatre.
Brenda Blethyn

This most dangerous enemy is the American counterpart of the British Fabian Socialist, who denies that he is a Socialist and operates behind a mask which he calls National Planning.
John T. Flynn

We have lost all our big Australian industries and icons, including Qantas when it sold 25 % of its shares and a controlling interest to British Airways.
Pauline Hanson

By adopting the 'free trade,' or British, system, we place ourselves side by side with the men who have ruined Ireland and India, and are now poisoning and enslaving the Chinese people.
Henry Charles Carey

I was determined that no British government should be brought down by the action of two tarts.
Harold MacMillan

We have had more sales for this year's grand prix than any other, and we have been helped in that by the fact that Jenson had 10 podiums last season and looks like a winner. It is good for British motor racing if he is there and doing well.
Jackie Stewart

The public must suffer untold pangs from the stiffness, the deliberate stifling of emotion, on the part of many British actors.
Ivor Novello

Nova Scotia as a British colony also came into being as another result of these adventurous British expeditions to North America in the reign of James I.
Harry Johnston

The British seizure of Hongkong was an aspect of one of the most ugly crimes of the British Empire: the takeover and destruction of India, and the use of India to flood China with opium.
Robert Trout

There just seems to be more acceptance now of... other kinds of British films, than the picture-postcard ones.
Tim Roth

It is up to you to decide that this has lasted long enough, that our boys are dying to serve no British interest but for the interests of a small clique of utterly unscrupulous men.
John Amery

No one will expect the British Government or the Government of India to give way to threats of violence, disorder and chaos; and, indeed, representatives of large sections of Indian opinion have expressly warned us that we must not do so.
Stafford Cripps

I had to choose between American and British actors, and it didn't take me more than a second to decide: Russians are Europeans and should be played by other Europeans.
Jean-Jacques Annaud

I'd be quite excited to play somebody British.
Claire Forlani

Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.
Donald Pleasence

I think you will find scientists that think like you in Germany and Britain, and you will find politicians that think like Weinberger. I think the most bellicose ruling group in the Western world at the moment is the British.
E. P. Thompson

For fear of dropping the troops in the sea, the pilots tended to drop them too far inland - some of them actually in the British lines. The weapon containers often fell wide of the troops, which was another handicap that contributed to our excessive casualties.
