Untitled[edit]

Fourteen years later the problem, if there was one, is thought to have disappeared. According to the Office for National Statistics in January 2004, "Four out of every five people from the black Caribbean community living in Britain described their national identity as British, English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish. Three-quarters of the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities identified them selves in the same way."

Whatever one thinks of the 'cricket test', this last paragraph simply isn't true. The loyalties of immigrants and their descendents have been big news in the United Kingdom recently. I would like to remove it. Oswax 20:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen the comment having removed the last paragraph. There4 is certainly no evidence immigrants and their descendents to England from cricket playing countries now support England, and any educated observer knows that actually the opposite is the case. The government quote was completely out of context. Oswax, you should have removed it immediately, BE BOLD as this sort of rubbiosh just weakens the authority of wikipedia. have replaced it with something on Trevor McDonald failing the test this year, much more indicative of the reality of the situation, SqueakBox 15:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Would it not be worth mentioning (for reasons of balace if nothing else) that the tebbbit test if applied to the English they would fail it as well (e.g ex pats in australia would support england v australia and the same could be said in spain ?) im not great at articulating this so maybe with a better grasp of lingustics than me could add that in maybe ? - tazz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.168.3.18 (talk) 16:15, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is pretty bad, virtually every sentence makes an unsourced claim and the entire article's content (though not the article itself) is of questionable relevance.82.32.185.56 (talk) 02:01, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The test has been referenced in the mass media by Australian republicans regarding the Queen of England/Queen of Australia. 118.209.170.75 (talk) 11:46, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

'Tebbit has made a number of other controversial public statements that seem to leave no doubt on his overall uncompromising attitude to those of differing ethnic and religious backgrounds'

Sounds a bit POV to me Francium12 23:17, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very, very biased article. Filled with largely irrelevant and unsourced claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.52.68.16 (talk) 14:10, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I'm giving it a make-over accordingly. This is not the place to argue about multiculturalism. The article should restrict itself to the expression and its impact not argue whether Tebbit was right or label him a racist (whether he is or not).GordyB (talk) 21:42, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
