Lord Tebbit was a minister in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's cabinet.I was reading his interview in Financial Times and was impressed. His wife was disabled permanently after 1984 IRA attack and he takes care of her for the last 25 yrs of his 53 yrs of marriage.He wakes up twice every night to turn her over to avoid bed sores. He takes his marriage vows seriously. " I take the view that you never know ,do you,when you say those words,'For better or worse,in sickness or health '.You do not know what the future holds." He is not one of those politically correct types who says forget , forgive and healing nonsense even when one should not. He refused to participate in BBC 4 programme to take part in healing " having no taste for the modern appetite to massage away the atrocities of the past with an oily love-in and apologia." He sees this type of British attitude as symptomatic of the weakness,decadence and lack of resolve in modern Society. He is an old time conservative of Thatcher era and does not like present Conservative leader David Cameron for steering Conservative Party to the middle. I disagree with his staunch stay as it is conservatism.That is no win programme.Principles are important on core ideas,but as the society changes, one should adopt as Blair did to Labor Party. I watch David Cameron every week and he is impressive and would love to see him as the Prime Minister of Britain after next elections.
