Are these quotations correct?

I was just on BBC Biased when I saw these two quotes in their sidebar. Can anyone confirm their veracity?

"If you just took everyone from the BNP and everyone who votes for them and shot them in the back of the head, there would be a brighter future for us all", Jeremy Hardy, on BBC Radio 4 , 2004

"..the final answer, frankly, is the vigorous use of state power to coerce and repress. It may be my Presbyterian background, but I firmly believe that repression can be a great, civilising instrument for good. Stamp hard on certain 'natural' beliefs for long enough and you can almost kill them off."
Andrew Marr, The Guardian, Feb. 1999
