Norman Tebbit Quotes

• Bad art was as good as good art. Grammar and spelling were no longer important. To be clean was no better than to be filthy. Good manners were no better than bad. Family life was derided as an outdated bourgeois concept. Criminals deserved as much sympathy as their victims. Many homes and classrooms became disorderly - if there was neither right nor wrong there could be no basis for punishment or reward. Violence and soft pornography became accepted in the media. Thus was sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind.

• La palabra "conservador" es utilizada por la BBC como una palabra de abuso para cualquier persona cuyas opiniones difieran de la insufrible, petulante, mojigata, ingenua, llena de culpa, húmeda y rosa ortodoxia de ese ocaso hogar de las mentes de tercera categoría de esa década de tercera categoría, los años sesenta.
