"There is a lesson to be learned from [[George Galloway|[George] Galloway]]'s comments, though, which is that rape is not well understood at all. When he says something is "not rape as most people understand it", this is because society still largely imagines rape as an unexpected attack on a woman walking down a dark alley late at night. By describing what [[Julian Assange|[Julian] Assange]] is alleged to have done as "bad sexual etiquette", Galloway demonstrates that he does not understand the legal definition of rape, or of sexual assault for that matter. Neither, he suggests, do many other people."
"So I have passed the MP's name on to a whip. I don't betray sources. But I will betray sexists."
"Have been thinking about whether or not to tweet about it, but actually that is NOT on and lobby women shouldn't have to put up with it."
"The message from [[Rosie Duffield|[Rosie] Duffield]]'s experience is that if you are a woman in politics, you'd better think really long and hard before you dare stick your neck out on issues you really care about β and not because people will argue with you, but because they'll threaten you."
"Government should incentivize production, provide enabling environment for businesses to thrive, ensure locally produced goods and services compete in the International Market and ensure that necessary infrastructures are put in place with these Nigeria will be self-reliant.

"Finance is the blood of the business. FINTECH is driving access to finance and helping to boost aggregate demand and investment."
"Nigerians are not looking for a handout, what they need is the space and they will do the rest. People are really entrepreneurial, so for us as a country, itβs not for lack of human assets or the passion or desire to progress, it is about lack of good policy, good governance around economics, and making the environment conducive so that all Nigerians can prosper, no matter what positive endeavour they decide to engage in."
"If the House of Commons remains deadlocked, then going back to the people will have to be the way forward. A prosperous future for Wales is secured by continuing membership of the EU."
"It is shocking, it is absolutely shocking to me that you think that you can turn up here this afternoon, with the mess that your party has made, to the budgets of this country, to the reputation of this country around the world, that you promise those people (NHS workers) that there will be more to come, and you think that you turn up here this afternoon and claim some sort of moral highground. What sort of world do you belong in?"

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
