Social class has worked for years. Born into the right family, go to the right schools, even if you're not super bright to start with, you'll turn out bright. You go to the right university, you get the right job, you have the right connections, you'll make it to the top. Job done, very efficient.

I really believe the stuff I say.
If I was fat and had a strong regional accent and was a bloke, I'd be a stand-up. Because I think I'm funny.
Many teachers seem to believe their opinions are right, and therefore, all other viewpoints are wrong. And they are indoctrinating our children with their beliefs.

If you sign up for TV, expect the edit to make things interesting.
Simply put, some people think they are above rules or even that rules are there to be broken. Once you start teaching that to your kids, this country is really in trouble.
In my experience, people who think school is free fail to put a value on it or respect the opportunities it affords.
Teaching kids to respect rules is key.

Being nice can make you feel very happy.
As parenting goes, knowing the whereabouts of one's children is pretty fundamental.
I admire Lady Gaga. She wears exactly what she likes, no matter how good or bad it turns out.
There will come a day when someone calls to tell me my column's been binned, and that will be a really hard day, and I've already got it set up so that they'll ring someone else first - because I don't want to be given that news when I'm walking down the street, because it will be really heartbreaking.
Those that preach tolerance have become absolutely prescriptive in what's allowed to be thought.
I was a really bad single mum. I used to go to the supermarket just for somewhere to go.
The opinion that Trump equals hate is not a fact. It is a view.
I've been no-platformed from every university with a strong Islamic faith community.
I am a big believer in fun for free.

If you over-deliver and prove yourself to be an asset to the company, you will be rewarded as a result.
Clear rules provide huge amounts of freedom: freedom to be safe and freedom to work efficiently because things are in order.
Investing in children's education is vital.
A state school class can only learn as fast as its thickest child. Your kid misses stuff, mine has to wait while yours catches up.
As I often lecture businesses, it is not the email you send which matters, but how people feel when they read it.

Those who are most pious and noble tend to be the least tolerant.
Being a minority voice is still brave - even if the minority voice is from the right wing.
Clearly, children need to be aware of the news and current affairs. I buy my own children a children's newspaper so they can form their own views.
I think you can tell a great deal from a name. For me, there are certain names that I hear, and I think, 'Urgh.' For me, a name is a shortcut of finding out what class that child comes from and makes me ask, 'Do I want my children to play with them?'
As much as I love a smart kid who can spell nicely, I love a giggling kid wrapped in loo roll pretending to be a mummy even more.
The BBC has a strict policy of having Clare Balding present everything.
I have seen many a tear-strewn individual during my time working on daytime TV's morning sofas: individuals encouraged to share their views, ill prepared for the backlash that social media will deliver direct to you, unregulated and unrelenting.
Politicians used to be leaders. Now they follow voters, desperate for a tick in a box.
I watch 'The Great British Bake Off' in the way I used to watch people kiss on TV in front of my parents when I was young. Cringe.
If you teach a child that appearance doesn't matter, what will be the next thing that child asserts her individuality over? Turning up on time? Turning up at all?
Work is hard, and jobs can be dull. But you can't just take a holiday when you feel like it. You turn up because it is the right thing to do.
Weird things happen when strange men run for election. See Donald Trump for details.
If you do a good deed, don't expect anything back - the other person can still be a complete git.
