Outlandish Speech

"He made a speech in the House of Lords that was considered so outlandish that to this day it is the only speech unrecorded by Hansard". The speech may have been outlandish, but does anyone know what it stated? Sometimes we have to accept, at least the possibility, that the truth may be a little crazy (further the expectations of MPs in Parliament may bias or load their views of whether a particular speech was outlandish). Of course, the speech was probably crazy (but the page doesn't provide any indication of what was said - perhaps there are media sources that can be referenced?).

I think it is this one, which is rather odd to say the least, which is recorded in Hansard [1] Dunarc (talk) 20:37, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Given the wellspring of his seat in the House of Lords, one hopes it is indeed that particular speech, and not another in that style. Wow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diomedes Agonistes (talk • contribs) 14:57, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the links in the article, it seems plausible (though not definite) that the strange things he actually said were recorded and published by Hansard but after 10 minutes he was interrupted for being off-topic and did not complete what he originally intended to say. --2A00:23C6:148A:9B01:F1B7:C137:EBA9:491C (talk) 13:15, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph

The photograph used to illustrate this article was taken in 1942, which seems plausible given Bertrand Russell's appearance. However, John Russell was 21 in 1942, and the lad in the picture is certainly far from being 21. The source ([2]) actually says that the picture shows "Russell and his son Conrad", which means that the boy is really Conrad Russell, 5th Earl Russell, who was 5 at the time. I'll remove the picture from this article. --Wrongfilter (talk) 09:20, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lady Felicity Anne Russell

I am unable to locate any particulars about this lady, other than date of birth and ancestry, and no information at all regarding the daughter Rowan, to whom the article refers. Any suggestions?

Susan Doniphan Lindsay

In addition, I'm having little luck with clear information regarding the life of the mother of Felicity Russell...I don't know why I find it peculiar that so little information is available on the granddaughter of Bertrand Russell and Vachel Lindsay...
