Obituary: Norman Tebbit

Norman Tabit, who died at the age of 94, was at the center of the political revolution of Margaret Thatcher.

He was a person whose philosophy of self -sufficiency created the origin of his political beliefs.

A competent and dutiful politician, immigration and his plain speaking on Europe inspired him for Tory loyalty, and was once called as a possible party leader.

And while Lord Tabbit’s unrelated views often angered his political opponents, he was uncontrolled by the names of a minimal-out-and-a-fashion, which he gave to him.

Norman Bersford Tabbit was born on 29 March 1931 in the Working-Class suburb of Ponders and in North London.

His father, an jewelery and a manager in the business of Ponbroker, proceeded adequately to buy his home enough in life.

However, there was no prosperity.

The manager’s job disappeared in the economic depression, and the family became a range of short -term letters in Edmonton.

Tabbit’s father found employment as a painter, although before he was traveling on the streets, who was looking for a bicycle that later became famous.

By the time the youth Norman Edmonton reached the County Grammar School, he had already developed his interest in orthodox politics.

“I thought you should be able to make your luck,” he said. “You should be the master of your destiny.”

Leaving school at the age of 16, he joined the Financial Times, where the operation of the closed shop forced him to join the Print Union, Natsopa.

Two years later, he went to perform his national service with RAF, where he received a commission as a pilot officer.

However, he decided that his political ambitions were not compatible with a service career, so he stopped selling advertisements with a family friend -run company.

He did not lose his love for flight and signed up with the Royal Oxylary Air Force as a part -time pilot.

He survived narrowly death when his meteor failed to take off the jet and declined to the end of a runway in Cambrisshire.

Strained in a burning aircraft, the tablebeet managed to force the cockpit canopy to open. His aircraft was completely destroyed.

Sixty years later, the doctors told him that he lived with a heart arrhythmia for most of his life. It was possible that he slipped unconnected on the runway.

In 1953, he joined the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a pilot and married a nurse named Margaret Danes three years later.

For the next 17 years, he took off his career as an worker for the British Airline Pilot Association.

The man who will later play an important role in dealing with Britain’s trade unions became a crisis of the airline management.

In 1964, the election of a labor government led him to politics.

He was eventually selected as a conservative candidate for applying, once a seat organized by Sir Winston Churchill.

He won his opportunity after making a particularly strong Tebbit speech.

It advocated the state -owned industries, trade union reforms, proclaiming control and attack on so -called permissible society.

This was followed by Harlo’s labor stronghold in the seat, but a energetic campaign, which was seen in 1970, with the excessive confidence of the sitting Labor MP.

He quickly became disillusioned with Ted Heath’s leadership.

Tebbit felt that the radical platform on which the conservatives had won the election were being ignored, in favor of more consensus style of politics.

But in 1972, he accepted a job as a parliamentary private secretary for the Minister of State for Employment, which was the first position on the ladder for the Minister’s Office.

His new post was not long.

Angered by Heath’s prices and adoption of income policy – a clear violation of the promise of a manifesto – and his failure to curb the impact of the Sangh, Tebbit resigned from the government.

Three months later, he was out of the post of conservative.

Tebbit, now members for the newly created seat of Chingford will receive a reputation in favor of labor ministers.

In 1975, he clashed with Employment Secretary Michael Foot on the government’s failure to condemn the dismissal of six power station workers.

The men refused to join a trade union after the men implemented a new closed shop agreement.

Tebbit revealed the government’s ability to enter the skin.

He said, “I was quite happy to know that as a mavric backbeancher without any formal standing, I could lure the ministers to waste their time and set fire to such an insignificant target,” he said.

During a debate on the parliamentary business, the leg was evacuated, comparing the tablebit to the “semi-house-informed polecat”.

When Conservatives won the 1979 election, Margaret Thatcher appointed Tibet as an Under State Secretary in the Department of Trade.

Within 18 months, he was an Employment Secretary, a step that indicated the government’s intention to take a difficult line on industrial relations.

In the 1981 autumn, with three million unemployed, and staining several internal city areas with riots, the tabbit gave the speech for which he will always be remembered.

Addressing the Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, he deviated from his prepared text to remember how his father had reacted to his unemployment.

“I grew up with an unemployed father in the 30s. He did not riot. He climbed on his bike and looked for work, and he kept looking until he got it.”

The trade unions and the labor movement were angered, claiming that Tabbit asked the unemployed to “get on their bikes”.

But the Education Secretary insisted that his emphasis was on condemning the riots.

His 1982 Employment Act increased the level of compensation for the dismissed workers to refuse to join a union.

It also created any closed shop agreement under regular ballot papers and if they authorize illegal industrial action, it removes the immunity of trade unions from civil action.

Tebbit later claimed that it was “my best achievement in the government”.

In 1983, he became the Secretary of Trade and Industry following the resignation of Cecil Parkinson on an additional matrimonial relationship.

During his tenure, he presided over the privatization program of the Thaccher government and played an important role in encouraging foreign investors in Britain, not at least Nissan car plant.

But the IRA bomb, who exploded at Briton’s Grand Hotel during the 1984 conservative conference, changed his life forever.

Five people were killed and more than 30 others were injured in the attack. He and his wife were trapped under the tons of the rubble.

They kept together, holding hands, waiting for help. Tebbit gave a message to Margaret to give his children, if he died.

He was left with a broken shoulder blade, fracture vertebrae, a torn collar bone and required plastic surgery – but returned to its table within three months.

Margaret was less lucky.

As a result of her injuries, she was paralyzed and suffered months of hospital treatment. She returned home in wheelchair and had to adapt the domestic life of the tables accordingly.

After a cabinet reshuffle in the 1985 autumn, he left DTI to become the president of the Conservative Party.

He threw himself into the reconstruction of a Moribond organization, launched a membership campaign and formulated a party for the next election.

Tebbit used the 1986 Orthodox conference to start an election campaign in all names, under the slogan, the next moved forward.

The popularity of Margaret Thatcher began to slide rating, and some comments began to talk about succession.

Pols suggested that Norman Tabit could be a popular option in the future leadership competition, which made a relationship with the Prime Minister difficult.

Finally, a conservative landslide occurred in the 1987 election.

Tabbit left the cabinet after the election to take care of his wife. But his ability to create controversy did not leave him.

In 1990, he suggested that a test to assimilate the wishes of moral minorities in the UK was to see if he had supported the England cricket team or his original country.

He turned down an invitation from Thaccher to return to the government as the Education Secretary, but when his leadership was challenged, he was constantly supported and he was eventually forced from the office.

He decided not to take an election in 1992, and was made a life colleague in Chingford’s Baron Tabit.

He was not satisfied to sit quietly in Lord’s.

He embarrassed the new Prime Minister John Major with a show-stopping appearance during the 1992 party conference debate, when he provoked the decision to sign the Mastrich Treaty.

He later criticized the Center’s right to the Center’s position, saying that it allowed the UKIP to extend political rights.

In 2009, he published the game cook, in which the readers were instructed in the best way to cook the game, his local Butcher told him that any of his customers did not know how to prepare any pheasant.

After campaigning for Brexit, he became impatient with the conversation of Theresa May with Brussels – accusing the government of “thinking nothing but the rights of foreigners”.

In 2020, his wife Margaret died, suffering from levy body dementia.

Two years later, after a 52 -year parliamentary career, he recorded his final presence at the House of Lords.

Lord Tabbit’s working-class credibility and dry orthodox ideology made him an influential person during the Thaccher years and beyond.

The satirical puppet show, spitting image, depicted her as a bover boy worn with a leather, which was the promoter of the theory of Iron Lady.

He believed that homosexuals should not have senior cabinet positions, thought that foreign aid has fuel corruption, and that many immigrants fail to integrate.

He helped transfer the orthodox party from one-nation centralism under Sir Edward Heath, in a situation where it is a small state, controlled immigration and life outside the European Union.

An academic remarked: “Although Thaccherism was the political creed of the Essex Man, it was the Norman tabbit that was probably the public face or voice of Essex Man, and clarified his thoughts and prejudices.”
