Please do not continue to spread this false attribution
which the BBC is also guilty of spreading as misinformation.

Norman Tebbitt actually said

"I grew up in the 1930s with an unemployed father.
He did not riot. He got on his bike and looked for work ..."


PS I am no fan of Norman Tebbitt, but claiming that people
said one thing when they actually said something else is
if done knowingly and wilfully is just propagating lies.

Are you therefore saying Tebbit merely quoted his father without meaning
it to be a course of action he also recommended?

Suggesting that someone should seek work, by bicycle or other form of
transport, is not the same as telling someone to "Get on your bike!" which
is another way of saying, "**** off!"
