 Dracula Defends the BBC
Not that it is above reproach — it must be said that both Andrew Gilligan and his editors at the BBC are guilty of impetuosity if nothing else for calumniating Campbell (and Blair) on the basis of a single uncorroborated source.
But why was Campbell — who after all is a civil servant, not a politician — playing so conspicuous a part in speaking up not just for himself but the government as well?
Tebbit maintains that the BBC has actually been acting as New Labour’s conscience, showing up Britain’s Prime Minister as a traitor to his Party’s traditions with his espousal of the war-mongering Christian fundamentalism of President George W. Bush.

 Guardian Unlimited Special reports Tebbit's cricket loyalty test hit for six
The figures may finally lay to rest suspicions among sections of the white majority whipped up by Lord Tebbit when he suggested in April 1990 that immigrants and their children could not show loyalty to Britain until they supported the England team at cricket.
They included many born in Britain and describing their ethnicity as black British in recent official surveys.
A majority of black and Asian people in Britain see themselves as British, according to the first official figures on national identity published by the Office for National Statistics today, nearly 14 years after Norman (now Lord) Tebbit challenged the loyalty of the ethnic minorities by coining his "cricket test".

 Cricket test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cricket test was a phrase coined by Norman Tebbit in referring to supposedly questionable loyalties of immigrants to the United Kingdom in 1990.
During the 1980s and 1990s there was a perception in parts of the UK that some immigrants to the UK did not have a primary loyalty to the UK, but continued to identify with their countries of origin.
The most famous expression of this was made by Conservative politician Norman Tebbit in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

Norman isn't scared by this fact as he is with his fellow Indian brothers, united by their support and love for their country.
According to Lord Tebbit, you'll recall, we could only be classed as British if we cheered England during a cricket match and, extending his theory, Britain in every other sport.
Imagine if our Norman had been born in Calcutta and chosen to live in India.

Lord of Chingford Norman Tebbit's suggestion was immediately rejected not only by activists and Labour politicians, but by his own party.
The only criterion which Peter Mandelson and anybody else should be judged by is how well he does his job." While several anonymous Conservative Party spokespeople also denounced Tebbit's idea in strong terms ("far out of touch"), the party's deputy chair Archie Norman was willing to be named saying, "I wouldn't agree.
History relates we have had extremely successful people who represented their country admirably with all sorts of different lifestyles." Mandelson himself said his aides would "go absolutely bananas if I talk about that," and added that, "Norman Tebbit is an old friend."

 The Tebbit trickle
Norman Tebbit, former chairman of the Conservative Party, is a rare Englishman who conceptually grasps the problem of immigration and multiculturalism and is unafraid to say what he thinks.
Indeed, the fair and approving coverage given his views in the leftish-appearing Sunday Herald (a paper filled with encomia to the recently deceased leftist Robin Cook) suggest that it has.
Immigration, he has been arguing for years, must be reduced to a trickle or England’s main cities will turn into terrorist breeding grounds.

I am not sure which is the more bizarre: Norman Tebbit saying the Conservatives, although a unionist party, cannot have a Scottish leader, or the subsequent comment by a Scottish MP for an English Conservative seat that his Scottish background should not matter as he is an MP for an English constituency.
There appears to be a tartan ceiling developing for Scottish members of the Conservative Party, with a possible "breakthrough" clause if they operate outside Scotland.
