Died aged 94.

He got on his bike then!

I wish there were real politicians about today like him irrespective what party he was from.

I think he got off it and kicked the bucket !!!!

RIP
At least he had a proper job before politics unlike those of today, And believe he did national service unlike those of today, He was actually a MAN unlike those of today.
Packed in politics to look after his sick wife, While those of today hate the sick and disabled and old.

Utter Twats, And thats me being polite.

Spitting Images had him as the Chingford Skinhead, he absolutely loved it.
Remember going past the bombed Hotel in Brighton en route to Pompey and he quit to to care for his wife who ended up in a wheel chair from the injuries in the explosion ….and died a couple of years ago ….even though Thatcher begged him to stay, but said his wife came first.

RIP Norman, a legend.

A proper politician.

Honest, straight talking and I believe he genuinely tried to make our country a better place.

Puts the current shower to shame and no, I’m not a dyed in the wool Tory.

I heard someone on the news this morning saying his ‘get on your bike ‘ remark was taken totally out of context by the papers….he really said his father was unemployed and rode around on his bike looking for work in the town they lived in until he got a labouring job.

agree on every single word there. fact is would he have got where he got if he was around today in politics.

No chance ..they’re just employ poetic gobshites who NEVER answer a question…come to that most of the Labour MP’s pre Blair would never get near a place in Parliament today, because they said it as it was.

NO, He had integrity

for once i do not think this is a case of making a hero out of somebody because they have died when they were not in life. its more of how politicians and what voters think of them have dropped to an all time low in 40 years. at least they looked and talked the part unlike todays versions of political stepford wives.

A horrible horrible human being ! Tebbit not you Mr I Should have died in 1984. They say the good die young, this further proves it.

From someone who believes Putin is reasonable….

at least he had policies and opinions that made you feel that way. most of todays lot are hard to get worked up about as many have neither. you do not need to like him or what he did to respect him and what he genuinly believed.

Imagine how long this small boats thing would have lasted had Tebbit and the Lady been in power. It would numbered in hours not years.

Spitting image should be back on council tv.
Maybe those in power find it a bit too close to the truth to be tolerated just like Yes Minister/PM.

not just the boats but the rest of the woke crap thrust on us. can anyone imagine him and maggie discussing for more than 5 seconds what constitutes being a woman.

Couldn't imagine our Iron Chancellor Reeves standing up to the Iron Lady..only one winner there.
