Frank Dobson

I think I've had a very privileged life.

I am not against Muslim schools. But as I believe in integration, I think we would be better off overall if we did not have denominational schools at all.

It is more important for Labour to raise the reputation of politics than for the Tories, who are only in politics for the money.

I was good at being a doctor; my patients liked me. At times people trust you with things they wouldn't tell their spouses. It was a real privilege.

While writing books about the past, I think about the present. It's not intentional, but somehow my books end up being written under the sign of a political mood.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
