Tebbit gets Confucian

Splendidly Confucian intervention by Lord Tebbit in the Osborne saga. “He who lies down with dogs shall catch fleas” should earn an instant place in the handbook of political wisdom – although it helps to deliver it in Norman’s quiet, deadly tones of mordant sorrow. You can rely on the Chingford polecat to come up with the goods in a crisis.
