I take no notice of what the government gives. I make my own donations each month. My main overseas beneficiaries are Christian Aid, Embrace the Middle East and Oxfam. It is what we give as individuals, that really matters.

The nature of Brexit is independence. We cannot depart from this.

I never saw Barbara Windsor on Eastenders as I don’t watch television. But I will always remember her in the Carry On films where she played an important part. Also her colleagues: Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims etc. RIP.

He must look pretty harmless to Kim Kardashian.

It is good we can do something with Russia. This might improve relations, especially as Europe doesn’t seem to like us anymore.

What’s the point of having a navy if it doesn’t protect us?

Navel ships! What the hell are they? Are they pulled along by an umbilical cord? Do the sailors drink rum rations from their belly buttons?
