New Tebbit test

From The Rt Hon. Lord Tebbit

Sir: Sarfraz Manzoor (-England, my England', 29 June), a television journalist I regard highly, has long been welcome in Britain. May I also welcome him and his descendants in sharing our English heritage.

The going may be hard for him at times. We English do suffer a lot of prejudice these days, but I doubt if Mr Manzoor will be entirely unaccustomed to that.
