		LORD TEBBIT: Yes, I think there probably is, and of course Robin Cook, an ex-foreign secretary himself, who resigned over the issue as well, seems to cast similar doubts.
		LORD TEBBIT: Well, first of all, as I say, I believe it was legal because Parliament said it was legal.
		LORD TEBBIT: I think, to be fair, it's more a matter of the Government steadily collapsing in public regard and the conservatives being listened to a little bit more.

		Lord Tebbit, who served as a mentor to Mr Duncan Smith after he succeeded him as MP for Chingford in 1992, has told friends that he knows modernisers on the Tory front bench and in central office have him in their sights.
		Despite deteriorating relations with Mr Duncan Smith, Lord Tebbit is determined to use his status as one of the most popular Tories among grassroots members to see off the threat.
		But they are determined to maintain the pressure for Lord Tebbit's expulsion, although they realise they face a formidable challenge in persuading their leader to take action against the man who eased his way into parliament.

		LORD TEBBIT: Well, if you'd said to me in 1975, are you absolutely confident that Margaret Thatcher will lead the party into the next election, I would have said to you, it depends how things go.
		LORD TEBBIT: I believe that the party has no appetite for another bloodletting session, during which time the government - which is the worst government we've ever seen, a bunch of incompetents, liars and malcontents - gets away with murder.

	Tebbit: buggery to blame for obesity crisis \| Headlines \| News \| Gay.com UK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Lord Tebbit has continued his one-man tirade against gay men, by claiming the country's current "obesity epidemic" can be blamed on the government's support for "buggery".
		Asked what the root causes of the problems were, Tebbit, who was made a peer in 1992, drew a tenuous link between the issue and same-sex relationships.
		The comments are unlikely to surprise many onlookers, who have been aware of Lord Tebbit's aversion to gay issues over the years.

		I suggest to noble Lords that it is a male, female or ambiguous biological component of humanity whereas gender is the legal status of a person as a man or woman in law.
		My Lords, I do not know what is the inability which causes the noble Lord not to understand, not to be aware of or to ignore the fact that I have tabled amendments to precisely define the difference between sex and gender.
		Turning to the present matter — Amendment No. 12 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Chan — it seems to me that the extra precautions that he would insert as regards additional members of panels and matters of that kind, are thoroughly sensible and reasonable.

		Lord Tebbit said that it was an indictment of the state of the party that William Hague had refused to return to a front-bench role, possibly as Treasury spokesman.

		LORD NORMAN TEBBIT: One of Margaret Thatcher's extraordinary achievements was that she changed the whole perception of the way our economy is run.
		LORD JOHN WAKEHAM: The fact of the matter is that you can take virtually every privatized industry and try to put some objective tests to how it is now, delivering what it should deliver compared with what it delivered when it was a publicly owned body.
		LORD DAVID YOUNG: The most remarkable thing is to see a Labor government, Tony Blair's government, to have adopted hook, line, and sinker all the economic matters and measures that we believed in -- beliefs in the competitive economy, beliefs in privatization, beliefs in the state not doing more than it really has to do.

		Clearly, Lord Tebbit has opted for the latter, but it is not the same choice that is espoused by the vast majority of people in Britain.
		Lord Tebbit’s attempt to use the London Tube bombings as vindication for his “cricket test” nonsense and to suggest that they are a logical extension of multiculturalism is shameless.
		If Lord Tebbit had studied the history of human progress rather than in stoking the fires of prejudice, he would see that various areas of the world have enjoyed periods of being at the cutting edge of science, technology, arts and literature, as well as centuries of stagnation.

		Lord Tebbit, the former chairman of the Conservative Party, has claimed Enoch Powell’s controversial “river of blood” speech in 1968 was a correct prophesy of the climate of fear that Britain is now facing following the two terrorist bomb attacks in London last month.
		In an interview with the Sunday Herald, Lord Tebbit claimed Powell’s views were misinterpreted as racist and that Powell’s warning was focused on the dangers of a multicultural British society that would be fed from uncontrolled immigration.
		Tebbit’s comments follow on from the views expressed by the current front-runner for the leadership of the Conservatives, David Davis, who said last week that Britain’s pursuit of multiculturalism had been “misplaced” and should now be abandoned.
