Norman Tebbit: Tales From The Crypt

'I doubt if Mr Cameron's new-found enthusiasm for “gay marriage” will make it any more likely that he will lead the Conservative Party to a majority in 2015 or add greatly to the sum total of happiness and contentment in our society. I wonder just when the implications of it was discussed in detail by a Cabinet Committee? Why cannot we have some rather better staff work before great policy initiatives are announced?'

Norman Tebbit writes for The Daily Telegraph on why 'Gay Marriage Won't Win David Cameron The Next Election'.
In what's for him a relatively restrained piece, Lord Tebbit of Chingford, blames Lib Dem "contagion" and warns of voters defecting to UKIP en masse.
"Within the can of worms that Mr Cameron is determined to open there are several nests of snakes,"  claims the Conservative's former viper in chief.
