Norman Tebbit says vote for UKIP (again)

Tory curmudgeon Norman Tebbit has told the Politics Show that Conservative activists should be free to campaign against speaker John Bercow in Buckhingham. Numerous opponents are expected to join the fray despite convention that the speaker stands as an independent candidate unopposed by other parties. Tebbit has already rankled Tory high command with his coded endorsement for UKIP in the 2009 European elections.

Of course, the noble lord wouldn’t touch the (pro-European) former Tory MEP John Stevens with a bargepole. Who, then, could he possibly be endorsing?

Cough.


Norman Tebbit joins the blogosphere!

No, seriously. Really, just look at the screen grab below. Oh, all right then bloody well go and look for yourself if you don’t believe me.

Eurosceptic loose-cannon-at-large Norman Tebbit has joined fellow troublemaker Daniel Hannan with his own blog over at the Telegraph (RSS feed here). And it takes him precisely 118 words to have a go at the Cameroons:

“About the only leading politican to show any [grit] these days seems to be the much-abused Prime Minister Brown. Grittiness and the stiff upper lip seem to have been replaced with emotional incontinence, political correctness and open-necked shirts worn with well cut suits.”

Open neck shirts, eh? To whom could the Noble Lord possibly be referring?

Scrapbook looks forward to Tebbit’s special brand of unreconstructed biggotry and “nasty party” quotes gaining mind share with journalists and bloggers in record time!

Thank you, God.

Twitterati muse on fantasy Tory cabinet

The #torynutjobs tag appears to be gaining traction on Twitter, the general idea being suggestions for Tory cabinet appointments:

Scrapbook predicts plenty more Labour gallows humour on Twitter in the run up to May 2010.

Get involved.
