The attack on the British embassy in Tehran came just days after the Iranian ‘parliament’ voted to expel the British ambassador, and therefore reeks of official complicity. – Elliott Abrams
I don’t watch much British television at all. I mean, it’s ironic because I used to work in it for years. – E. L. James
For a little while there, I was thinking, ‘I don’t want to be in anything on British TV’. I didn’t watch any of it because it was rubbish. – Neve McIntosh
I read two mysteries a day when I was a kid. All of Agatha Christie, all of ‘Sherlock Holmes.’ I’ve seen every single British detective show ever made. – Maureen Johnson
The British are actually a lot more appreciative of the comic. In Canada, if you’re perceived as a comic writer, there’s a real snobbery, and you can’t be serious. You’re not a big hitter. – Miriam Toews

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records. – Duncan Sheik
‘Up the Junction’ went on to inform my love of British social realism.

American science is much more organized, much more hierarchical than British science has been. – Martin Fleischmann

In this context the British and Irish governments will have to promote a new, imaginative and dynamic alternative in which both governments will share power in the north. – Gerry Adams
I don’t want a tailor-made approach where the British have the best of two worlds. That will be too big an incentive for others to leave and kill the European idea, which is based on shared responsibilities. – Emmanuel Macron
My jokes are in my head and I have a duplicate copy of my jokes in a lot of British comics’ heads, where they are safe. – Emo Philips
