Charles Clarke

“Guardian Unlimited Politics | Aristotle | Clarke, Charles”

“Clarke questions study as 'adornment' (BBC)”

“The fact is, we're looking for a very small number of very evil needles in a very large haystack, which is the city of London.”

“I am not in any way opposed to medieval studies (or for that matter Latin).”

“I don't mind there being some medievalists around for ornamental purposes, but there is no reason for the State to pay for them.”
