Phil Collins Quote
-
I`d like to grab an opportunity to finally lay to rest a much quoted untruth about my political leanings. I have never been a Conservative, or at least not since being a young teenager. My father voted Conservative, and even his doing that was a hangover from the 50s and 60s, which may have been an influence on me. I`m sick and tired of being thrown in that same old box... "he`s got money.... so he must be..." I once said that if taxes were put up to a level where the government took home more than me, then I would consider moving out of the country. The Conservatives were in at that point and I mentioned Labour... if Labour had been in, I would have mentioned Conservative. It was said to make a point over 15 years ago. No one`s asked me since. I live outside the UK purely because my wife lived here when we met. End of story. (Speaking in 2005)
