If you were Norman Tebbutt's father what would you have meant? G

He did not quote the words of his father.

What he was suggesting that it is a better course of action to
get a job to seek employment where it may be found than to riot.

That is a sentiment which which I would agree.

His speech was more to do with quelling civil unrest that to
providing real advice to the unemployed.

However, his comment was disingenuous because for many, they had
been seeking employment for years but because of the Conservative
and Unionist administration policy of de-industrialization, no
jobs were to be found even within bicycle riding distance.

A classic example was the privatization of the shipyards into
the hands of a cartel which rapidly closed down competing
yards which they had just bought, ensuring that sites which
had employed tens of thousands were left as vacant ghost sites.

Quite, and that's what they're doing again, though perhaps with better
targets like middle managers in the NHS. Anyway they are creating a
few million more unemployed simply by decreasing the number of
available jobs. Even if every vacancy was filled there would probably
still be 3 million unemployed if you vcount the ones no longer part of
the official statistics.

It may be to you. And if you have a bee in your bonnet it's not usual to
believe everyone thinks the same as you.

Well I partly agree, all those Normans can just **** off back to
Surrey and the Home Counties where they belong. We don't want them
round these parts.

But when the Asian tribes poured across the Berings Straits Land Bridge

Historical records are a little "sparse". :-)

Has anybody done any digging to investigate?

There are claims and some evidence that the Americas were in fact first
colonized by African races and not by Asian races.

When you go back far enough we're all African. The Diaspora has been
occurring for millennia.

No-one knows what Mr Tebbutt Sr said.

In fact it seems there is very little information to be found about
Mr Tebbit Senior.

It is interesting to note that Norman Tebbit was once a big supporter
of Gordon Brown likening him to the one whom he worships, the blessed
Margaret.
