“Anyone who has walked through the deserted palaces of Versailles or Vienna realise how much of a part of the life of a nation is lost when a monarchy is abolished. If buckingham palace and windsor castle were transformed into museums, if one politician competed against another for president of the republic, Britain would be a sadder and less interesting place. Our politicians are not men such as could challenge more than a thousand years of history.”
-- William Rees-Mogg -

-- William Rees-Mogg -
“War on the cheap is always a rotten policy.”
-- William Rees-Mogg
