THEY SAID WHAT?

-

“I feel like it’s a miracle that I’m alive and so thankful that no-one else was injured in such an evil act”

- Taxi driver David Perry, who survived the Liverpool terror attack.

“Now, look, I don’t regard myself as a victim. I won’t be a victim. But to read some of the things that have been said about me and you think well, OK, so clearly some people, some sections of the media, have decided that I’m the sort of woman it’s OK to sexually harass”

- Caroline Nokes, the Conservati­ve MP for Romsey and Southampto­n North and chairwoman of the Commons Women and Equalities Committee, below, on the reaction after she accused the Prime Minister’s father of inappropri­ately touching her. “I admire so many people that go on this show. I just think, ‘How do they do it? Where do they find that strength? What place do they put themselves in to go and do it?’ And I just thought, ‘Well, that’s the one thing you’ve not done in your life, had a spider crawl over your hand. Why not?”’

- Dame Arlene Phillips on why she

decided to join I’m A Celebrity.

“I remember when I was the culture secretary and overseeing sport in this country, I remember meeting the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) then about issues of racial discrimina­tion in cricket, and they were telling me what they were going to do, and look where we are now, many years later, look at what’s happening, look at what’s been uncovered. I don’t think the ECB has taken this issue very seriously. I think they need to take a long, hard look at themselves”

- Health Secretary Sajid Javid says UK sporting bodies have not taken

accusation­s of racism seriously.
