Quote by Norman Tebbit
The word conservative is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.
Summary
This quote criticizes the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for labeling anyone who holds differing views as "conservative" in a derogatory manner. The quote suggests that the BBC uses this term as an insult to those who don't conform to the liberal, politically correct mindset associated with the 1960s. It characterizes the BBC as being arrogant, self-righteous, and inexperienced, implying that they enforce an orthodox ideology that lacks depth or intellectual rigor. The quote overall portrays a negative perception of the BBC's bias and unfair treatment towards those with conservative perspectives.
