Why do I feel so terrified?
The Tories have always helped themselves, but will never help others.
It was a great shame that Norman Tebbitt never become Prime Minister he would have made a great PM
No way
He was a thoroughly nasty piece of work. His nickname was "The Essex Skinhead".
Unless one is mentally and/or physically too unwell to work,then they should work.
The irony Boris and Shapps asking us now to get on your bike to work cos of the virus!!
Who is conducting the interview?
Same question-- who is that?
Mrs Interviewer McInterviewerface
Translated too, "I hate the working class"
I never liked Norman tebbit there is just something about him he's a bit sharp
Nobody ever critisices the British, its just the ira all the time it's soo annoying, and not fair
Yes leader
callum hardy “snaps his fingers”
He reminds me of one of Darth Vader's team in star wars.
Grand Moff Tebbitt
Tories always ask us to cycle
Yes we felt the same at the time. In fact, ALL of Thatcher's cronies were.
Seems to be talking complete sense to me
@@Nige. you clearly didn't live through the 80s. Anybody can sound reasonable. It's what they do that matters. Tebbitt was a thoroughly nasty piece of work.
In 1981 I worked in a supermarket on the YOP and was promised I would have a job after 6 months. Guess what? I was dropped in order to make room for the next YOP trainee. It was an abuse of young, inexperienced kids to work for a company which had an agenda to use these kids to save paying a full time worker a proper wage. Legalised exploitaion.
Oh, and I couldn't afford a bike.
They promised us the earth...then gave us shovels and told us to dig it!
@@colinclarke4285 This scheme is all over the place around the world. C19 will be a perfect excuse to exploit youngsters looking for jobs.
On yer bike!
Thatcher sold off the council houses, now the housing benefit bill is crippling public finances and Terry May is trying to build a load of social houses PDQ. We also sold off our manufacturing industry to multinationals who could see the value of British brands and are making money out of them,the city was only interested in quick returns?
Yes the problem was who they were sold to was families but some bought them to rent out.That should've been banned and instead LAs given money to buy back the housing for councils to make revenue and save on HB. More homes can be built privately for owners to rent out not the councils.
Railways were slashed by several governments and as a result there's few freight lines and why lorries are cluttering up our roads, noisy and dirty
I'm not fan of the Tories but we need to stop this fantasy that British manufacturing was somehow sold off or betrayed. There was no golden era. British manufacturing was in decline since the 1800s - the reasons are well known. Chronic underinvestment in equipment and skills, poor labour relations, short term-ism, reluctance to move to new industries and methods, paying ourselves more than the value of what we produced, and appalling levels of education. By the 60s and 70s, large parts of British manufacturing was only kept going because the government was borrowing vast amounts of money from abroad and pumping it into those industries to keep them on artificial life support, even though they often had no viable future. There was very little that was worth selling off to foreigners.
We would still have high unemployment if it weren't for the NHS, care workers, lazy people that get food delivered, massive building projects because of high immigration and single house occupancy due to family break ups, supermarket staff, University culture etc etc. In reality we have created a false economy apart from some niche markets compared to Germany and France that have decent car industries but terrible Govts too. I think the crash will be big when it comes as we simply manufacture very little to support the lazy moronic majority in the UK whilst the minority strive to keep it afloat. Politicians do their backstabbing best, appeasing their billionaire buddies to destroy Great Britain just like Tebbit's boss was ousted by the vile John Major clan followed by their counterpart Blair that have absolutely not a mouses fart of care for the UK people..
it is weird not seeing him in a leather coat
Beating people up
And knee length leather boots
“Yes, leader”
am not a Tory but do sympathise with bits of what he stood for. Apathy is extremely destructive and doing things even if they are low paid or voluntary to be active is more attractive to future employers.
Tebbit is always worth listening to even if like me I don't agree with everything the successive Thatcher government did. I admire his intelligence and the courage and character he demonstrated when injured in the Brighton bombing
Nosferatu.
He spoke his mind, he was not a kiddo fiddly likemaybe other cabinet members, he was a man who spoke his heart.
He left school young, and was not an eton wainker
He spoke he heart? What heart had he?
He talked posher there than now
He was a thoroughly nasty man. If he spoke his "heart" it must have been a very nasty heart indeed. He appealed to the kind of person who was thoroughly nasty and miserable, and wanted everyone to be as nasty and miserable as they were.
T H Thanks for sharing your impression. From a historical perspective your baseless opinions are a major windfall.
@@zeddeka Certainly his comments on immigrants and LGBT people have not always been kind, but he loved his wife enough to give up his political ambitions for her. Whatever his faults, I think he had a heart.
Chaz young... Do you know anything about the history of Ireland???
The conservatives were in power when I was obliged to go on an Employment training course.after not liking the belligerent manager at a warehouse,I chose I retail course.thanks to that,I had a city and guilds in retailing,and worked in retailing up to deputy manager level.
He left school at 16, with no qualifications and suddenly his first job is a junior journalist with the financial times, lol lol Where's Ian hislop when we need him, he's telling young people to get off their arse and get work, when also forgetting to tell them that he obviously got a leg up to land a plum first job in the financial times, why didn't he say he got a job in a local shop or card board factory, or a Norwich canary miners spares shop lol
There's is actually a good story about that. Back in 1940s a grammar school education till the of 16 (bare in mind the school leaving age was 14 at this point- and the education of the working classes was at best geographically varied) was more than sufficient to get you into a decent white-collar job ( plus he lived in Middlesex). Plus it's important to remember he didn't stay there long. He flew jets for the RAF, before becoming a commercial air pilot, and a trade union official (ironic lol), in the British Air Line Pilots' Association.
Great interview! Who was the lady?
The Chingford Skinhead.
My God ,he's creepy!
@White Tony He was creepy.
"Bunty" Tebbit eh ! what a lad he is , always ready for a laugh , a pint and a sing song round the piano , a right little corker , and his carrot and cabbage surprise is to die for
He's a complete shower
The surprise is that there's no carrot.
So much charisma
So charismatic and inspiring
And strangely terrifying.
There was never a dull moment when Norman Tebbit was a Government minister. That “on yer bike speech” seemed to kickstart everything.
I think that may be a misquotation. What Tebbit actually said was that his father got on his bike when he was unemployed.
@@matthewbartsh9167 nope he did say it. he said when his father lost his job that he got on his bike until he found a new one. it’s sort of summed up the conservative attitude towards personal responsibility of the time.
@@danh5637 You are contradicting yourself in one and the same sentence. Slight hint why your party always loses ....
@@thesep1967 not my party idiot. and you know they’ve been in power for the last thirteen years. being a moron is forever
My father pre-emptyed Norman Tebbit by at least a decade with the saying he got on his bike and rode until he did find work
Proud to have a framed signed photo of Lord Tebbit on my office desk
Weird.
" ON YER BIKE"...
Torman Nebbit
one of the best British politicians.
Undoubtedly the best Prime Minister we never had. He would have been great.
He was soo against the ira, I know the ira did bad things but the British army are no saints, the British started the war, let's not forget that
They made the recession of the early eighties worse to damage the unions and then couldn't handle the outcomes
8.09 now he's moaning about the cost of wages in comparison to Germany, he was cleary a past member of the gestapo.
He was actually a Skinhead, that's why he had a shaved head on purpose.
TEBBIT GOT HIS JUST DESERTS IN THE END,HE THOUGHT HE AND AND THATCHER AND THEIR ILK COULD JUST CRUSH ANYBODY WHO GOT IN THEIR WAY,IN THE END HE WAS CRUSHED HIMSELF (NO PUN INTENDED)AND ENDED UP A BITTER OLD MAN
You are likely projecting your own bitterness onto him.
@@margin606 spot on some people suffer the cancer of hate.
Creepy shit
HELL AWAITS HIM.
Shame the IRA never got him in Brighton
steven patrick Boyle agreed!
Forget those thousands of years of human progress. The law of the jungle is the way to go!
What a horrible and vile person you must be! Disagreement is a right, but wishing someone any death is disgusting!!
i hope u dont live in the uk
Excellent retort! :D
This is part of the big problem, the Tories just don't ever wanna behave like normal people and give someone a break. They think in their Imperial way that all they've got to do is invent a new fucking laser beam, blow everyone's life to hell and they'll actually be grateful for it. WELL HEAD'S UP TEBBITT OLD SON - WHO'S SORRY NOW????
Blame the victim for structural problems and the greed of neoliberalism.
The obsessive persuit of profit to the detriment of service and need.
This was the early 1980s. Neoliberalism wasn't a full thing yet. Monetarism was what was causing mass unemployment.
@@veggie42. Or... fighting inflation at the expense of employment.
Very much the latter. Inflation spiralled out of control in the 70s,topping 30% in 1975,and it was never going to be an easy task to bring it under control. But the unemployment and closures of the early 80s under the Thatcher government's adherence to the policy of monetarism were excessively harsh on the workforce,even if it did accomplish its task.
