My dad and Norman Tebbit having a civilised conversation in the open market in Brighton.
This photo was featured on the front page of the Argus (Brighton’s local newspaper) in 1992.
Norman Tebbit was Margaret Thatcher’s right hand man, serving in her cabinet for 7 years, and then became Chairman of the Conservative Party from 1985-87
My dad saw him in the open market in Brighton and according to my mum, dropped all his shopping and ran over to Tebbit and shouted at him “what are you doing in my market!?”
He responded with a cocky, jeering laugh, to which my dad replied “you’re smiling but I can see the hate in your eyes.”
Tim was never afraid to speak his mind, and later that evening when going into a pub in Hanover to get some rizlas, was greeted by a standing ovation from the pub-goers who had seen him in the newspaper.
Norman Tebbit and Margaret Thatcher’s policies have had a detrimental effect on this country. Why are trains so expensive? Privatisation. Why are your bills so expensive? Privatisation. Why is your rent so expensive? Right to buy / decline of council housing. Why is the north of England severely impoverished? Because of the closure of large percentage of their industry and infrastructure with no replacement or solution offered. It could also be argued that Thatcher’s policies of relaxing financial regulations precipitated the 2008 financial crash.
I will always be inspired by moments like this in my dad’s life, times when you do need to speak up and stand up to malicious people, and remind them that they are being noticed for their actions.
Miss you dad ❤️
