	Norman Tebbit Biography
		Norman Tebbit has been described as the Chingford skinhead, a biker and on one occasion as a 'semi house-trained pole cat'.
		Norman is a sort of enforcer clown to Margaret, a keen follower if a tad buffoonish on occasions.
		Always on butting terms with controversy Norman suggesting bringing in the 'cricket test' for ethnic minorities suggesting that people from ethnic minorities should not be considered truly British until they supported the England cricket team, as opposed to the country of their or their ancestors' birth.

	New Statesman - The New Statesman Interview - Norman Tebbit
		Tebbit reels off a few names of politicians so obscure that even their mothers might have trouble placing them, and adds: "I do think it was an error to drop [John] Redwood." Of Michael Portillo, there is no mention.
		Tebbit's views on gay lifestyles are so uncompromising that one wonders quite what in his past life - a bleak upbringing by his "on yer bike" father, Len, a former pawnbroker; a stint in the RAF; a career as a civilian pilot - might have installed such a rigid mindset.
		It is clear that Tebbit, possibly prompted in part by his recent glimpse of his own mortality, broods privately on his regret that he did not stand as leader in 1990.

	The Tebbit test is just not cricket \| Special reports \| The Observer
		According to Lord Tebbit, you'll recall, we could only be classed as British if we cheered England during a cricket match and, extending his theory, Britain in every other sport.
		Norman isn't scared by this fact as he is with his fellow Indian brothers, united by their support and love for their country.
		This is followed by a few hundred of the crowd mocking the events of 11 September by extending their arms into the shape of an airplane and then mimicking the noise of a plane dive-bombing.

		Tebbit might be able to swap places, or perhaps not, but he could at least vent and explain how he is feeling.
		Tebbit's point was that even God only grants forgiveness when the sinner shows genuine repentance and there is no evidence that Magee has ever repented his wickedness.

		Lord Tebbit also told this website he backed moves to give MPs the right to elect the Tory leader, but said local party associations should have other powers returned to them.

	The Tebbit trickle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Norman Tebbit, former chairman of the Conservative Party, is a rare Englishman who conceptually grasps the problem of immigration and multiculturalism and is unafraid to say what he thinks.
		When asked for his solution to what the dhimmi careerist historian Niall Ferguson calls the “irreversible” Islamization of Europe, Tebbit sensibly replies that when you’ve dug yourself into a hole, the first thing you do is stop digging, then you look around and figure out what to do next.
		In the wake of the London bombings (which Tebbit says prove Enoch Powell's warning correct that a multicultural society would be a violent society), may we be so bold as to hope that Tebbit’s (and Powell’s) time has come?

		If condemning chocolate oranges and putting a micro-windmill on his house are Cameron’s notions of big ideas, however, his eventual micro-proposals are likely to be too microscopic to be visible to the voter’s naked eye.
		Just about the only thing of substance available for Cameron to take a stand against in the Tory Party appears to be Lord Tebbit, the former party chairman and keeper of the Thatcherite flame.
		How the Cameroons must sigh with relief whenever Tebbit makes another unreconstructed remark, giving them a chance to refute it via the media and hopefully appear modern and moderate by comparison.

		In telling Norman Tebbit's life history, the book provides a fascinating insight into the sympathetic more human side of him, which was and still tends to be generally overshadowed by his ability to engage in toe to toe arguments with his opponents - which invariably always ended with them being cut up into little pieces.
		The book spans all emotions and is thus both a moving and a gripping read.

	Why Norman Tebbit will have reasons to smile-Comment-Columnists-Michael Gove-TimesOnline
		And I suspect that the politician who is most likely to find the wind beneath his wings a month hence is that old bustard of the Right, Lord Tebbit of Chingford.
		There are several reasons, not all of them necessarily congenial to Times readers, which may give Stormin’ Norman reason to smile this May. The first cause for celebration in Chingford is likely to be the scale of Labour’s losses.
		When he formulated his famous cricket test, Norman Tebbit was vilified for suggesting that some ethnic minorities in Britain might experience divided loyalties.
