Norman Tebbit: Frasi in inglese

“It is really time for him to try to let the nicer side of his nature emerge. It is not necessary that every time he rises he should give his famous imitation of a semi-house-trained polecat.”

Michael Foot in the House of Commons (2 March, 1978). http://www.margaretthatcher.org/speeches/displaydocument.asp?docid=103629

“[The poll tax] was a classic case of a good idea being entrusted to Chris Patten and becoming a terrible failure.”

“A typical piece of BBC anti-Tory propaganda.”

From an article published in a 1985 edition of the Monday Club magazine 'Right Ahead' which was heavily critical of the BBC and of what Tebbit regarded as the corporation's left-wing bias. Tebbit was referring to an episode of the popular BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who entitled 'Pyramids of Mars' which he had recently seen - he perceived a "wasteland version of 1980" featured in the episode to be a symbolic, allegorical and propagandistic attack on the Thatcher government. Tebbit was apparently completely unaware that the episode in question was actually filmed in 1975, four years before Thatcher had even come to power. [Eric Luskin, Doctor Who in the 80s (Virgin, 1996)]

“I'm a hawk— but no kamikaze. And Jim's a dove— but he's not chicken.”

On Jim Prior, Shadow Employment Secretary, in a speech to the Conservative Party Conference (October, 1977).
Tebbit, p. 196.

“He (John Major) has the mulishness of a weak man with stupidity.”

[Source: The Journals of Woodrow Wyatt: Volume 3, p. 437.]

“Go away and have another heart attack!”

According to Francis Wheen, Tebbit shouted this at left-wing Labour MP Tom Litterick during a House of Commons debate in the late 1970s, on the day of Litterick's return to the commons after a lengthy abscence following a heart attack and extensive heart surgery. Litterick did in fact die of another heart attack shortly afterwards http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,444195,00.html
