Lord Tebbit spoke out against multiculturalism long before it was popular to do so and is returning to the whole subject of political correctness in this speech on 20 November. 

In recent times Lord Tebbit has said:

“I’ve been saying for years – and been criticised very severely for it – that multicultural societies don’t work and what makes me cross is that for so long if anyone did discuss this issue, they were accused of being racist.”

Trevor Philips (Head of the Commission for Racial Equality and now running the new Equalities and Human Rights Commission) recently said to Lord Tebbit, "How is it that we used to be at a diametric difference and now we are very much agreeing?’.  Lord Tebbit replied, ‘Ah, I think the difference is that you’ve understood that I wasn’t talking about whether you’re black or white, I was talking about the cultures of this country, and you and I share the same culture. You and I are now beginning to see, and I won’t say who saw it first…that some of the other cultures are a threat to you as well as to me – that we’re both in the same boat.’

Lord Tebbit has also said, “Humans are pack animals and we prefer – as kids do – to be in a pack with other dogs, so to speak, like us. And I do prefer that. Now does that mean that I discriminate against people? No."
