  • Plagiarised – this article appeared to have been lifted wholesale from the Telegraph obituary. Apologies for the loss of work - but I have carried out a wholesale removal. Saltmarsh 05:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
No worries - it was 'work in progress' for me to complete today with more sources - still it prompted someone to sort out this article!!Weggie 11:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • This entry needs a photograph and an update on his 2007 book, which is still put in the future tense. Did it come out posthumously? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArvidStark (talkcontribs) 17:07, 19 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

OK to add external link? edit

I have a conflict of interest, but would a filmed interview with Anthony Farrar-Hockley from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. Transcript is available. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_0A96C947AD444493B02CF4CB4D5E70D3 Mccallucc (talk) 21:59, 22 March 2016 (UTC) Mccallucc (talk) 21:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Home Guard not controversial edit

I recall the attempt to organize a new home guard in the 1980's. I don't recall that it "aroused controversy" at all. It was ridiculed by left wing politicians and elements in the news media.Royalcourtier (talk) 05:37, 3 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Quite right, old chap. We should ignore the homosexualists, students and Guardian readers who criticise a perfectly rational attempt to revive dads' army forty years after the War. Pip, pip! --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 09:08, 12 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
