They say

Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), Feb 29, 2008

"The oldest nationalised institution in Britain is the Church of England" - Former Labour MP Tony Benn.

"I can eat maggots with the best of them" - Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis, (pictured), who believes he would be the perfect candidate for reality TV.

"If the Speaker feels he is the victim of a snobbish witch-hunt, due to his 'umble origins, why on earth does he want to spend part of his working life sporting a white lace cravat, three-quarter-length coat embellished in gold and sitting on a throne?" - Writer Will Self.

"In retrospect, it would be fair to describe me as a loud-mouthed, vain, neo-Restoration twit" - Robert Peston, the BBC's business editor, recalling that he was once the only City correspondent with a ponytail.
