Norman Tebbit has been described as the Chingford skinhead, a biker and on one occasion as a 'semi house-trained pole cat'. All these descriptions fail to recognise that Norman has a humorous side*, likes a laugh and like Mr Punch enjoys cutting some capers as well as bullying people. Norman is a sort of enforcer clown to Margaret, a keen follower if a tad buffoonish on occasions. Norman was born in Enfield and worked as a journalist with the Financial Times before spending four years with the RAF and later joining the airline BOAC as a pilot.
He entered politics in 1970. Served as Secretary of
State for Employment, Secretary of State for Trade
and Industry and President of the Board of Trade
(October 1983 - September 1985), as Chancellor of
the Duchy of Lancaster and as party chairman (1985 -
1987). During the Brighton hotel bombing he was
injured and his wife, Margaret, was permanently
disabled.
In the aftermath of urban riots in the summer of 1981,
Norman Tebbit responded to a suggestion that the
rioting was caused by unemployment by saying:
Tributes to Margaret Thatcher were moving in many respects. Lord Tebbit recalled
the Brighton bomb and its tragic consequences for his wife. He said of Margaret
Thatcher's compassion and kindness: "I cannot think of a precedent for a secretary of
state remaining in office as Secretary of State although absent from the Cabinet for
over three months.
She allowed me to run my office from my hospital bed." But he was sorry for one
thing: "She, of course, was brought down in the end, not by the electorate but by her
colleagues,"

Tribute to the late
Margaret Thatcher

riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he went on
