Paisley

[edit]

I've reverted this edit as I don't see why Paisley's opinion is relevant and why the invite would be "despite" it. Please discuss. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 14:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"The club also took a hard line on the return of White Russians by the British Army to Joseph Stalin's Red Army in 1945–46, who executed nearly all of them. In this respect it gave its support to Count Nikolai Tolstoy, historian and author of Victims of Yalta and The Minister and the Massacres" Firstly, these are not White Russians at all, the term White Russians is defined for representatives of one of the parties to the civil war in Russia and for white emigrants from Russia in the period after the end of the civil war in Russia, some of them subsequently collaborated with the Nazis, for which they were executed after the Second World War in the USSR, Nikolai Tolstoy generally writes about people transferred to the Soviet Union by Britain and the USA, most of whom were citizens of the USSR and for the most part they spent time in exile or a gulag, but only the command was shot and nothing more, themselves books Nikolai Tolstoy are frankly controversial and even unsubstantiated character Цйфыву (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Political position?

[edit]

This is User: Political Dweeb with a question on this organisations political position. This Wikipedia article on the Conservative Monday Club shows that this organisation tried to exclude anyones that were Nazis from the CMC. Does this mean that the Conservative Monday Club is opposed to extreme forms of discrimination such as neo-Nazism and Holocaust denial while still believing and promoting traditional, social and National conservative beliefs?

Apart from this question who is the leader of this pressure group and what ways do they promote their views in politics?Political Dweeb (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 13:06, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Titles in list of MPs

[edit]

I have once again removed the titles persistently added by an IP editor from the list of MPs. They serve no purpose to the list, it's pure aristocruft and the majority of the titles didn't even apply at the time. If people want to know what titles people received in later life, they can go to the linked articles. 2 lines of K303

Far right

[edit]

On what evidence has the decision to brand the Conservative Monday Club as far-right been made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.5.122.80 (talk) 11:42, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name?

[edit]

Where does it explain this? Turkeyphant 19:03, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overview redundant

[edit]

It is the lede that is meant to provide the overview. It is not necessary to start the main article with a section that performs this task. This section should be deleted. Valetude (talk) 21:15, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I have today re-edited the article accordingly. Valetude (talk) 04:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update

[edit]

...membership is now said to be back below 600...

That statement has been on the page for some years. Can we have an authenticated figure, suitably dated? Valetude (talk) 17:15, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Founders

[edit]

Seems odd that none of the club's four founders - Paul Bristol, Ian Greig, Cedric Gunnery, Anthony Maclaren - merits their own wiki page, while so many others of its earlier members do. It might be interesting to learn a little about them. Valetude (talk) 22:10, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
