Talk:Saunders Lewis

Untitled

The link to www.llywellen.co.uk, a site about Garth Celyn an historic house in Gwynedd, seems only to be here because Saunders Lewis wrote a play set at that house. At this external site there is almost no mention of Saunders Lewis so I suggest there is no reason for this link on this page. I shall remove it. Of course should anyone think the link helps then feel free to put it back!

There is a Wiki page about Garth Celyn and that page has this external link, which is totally justified.--Cynnydd 14:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Is he Welsh?

I would say his being Welsh in the context of Britain where your place of birth is decisive, is in dispute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cacadores (talk • contribs) 00:14, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Removed category

I removed this page from Category:Far-right politics in the United Kingdom as it appears to have been added through OR a while back. Couldn't find sources to substantiate the claim. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 01:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Dafydd Elis-Thomas's Criticism

I have moved Dafydd Elis-Thomas's critical remarks from the Nobel Nominee section to Political Criticisms. The cited source indicates that Elis-Thomas was criticising the content of Lewis's Tynged yr Iaith speech, which is principally a political issue, not a literary issue. Elis-Thomas is a politician, and not known as a literary critic. The sentence Others however consider Saunders Lewis's literary and political reputation is undeserved is now unsourced, and I have removed it. Verbcatcher (talk) 20:47, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Churchill's views on Hitler

I have reverted User:Atsaca's edit which introduced a comment into the main text regarding Churchill's pre-war comments on Hitler.

• However, in the 1930s other British politicians including Winston Churchill ( in fact this not supported by his book "Great Contemporaries" WSC - he always smelt a rat.) and David Lloyd George also made favourable comments about fascist leaders.

My revert was not intended to indicate a judgement on the issue that was raised. This should either be discussed here or the claim about Churchill could have been removed as a BOLD edit.

This blog post is pertinent to Churchill's views, and identifies a quote that it says has been taken out of context. The evidence for Lloyd George admiring Hitler is stronger, see [1] and [2], but these sources may not be citable.

I suggest that we remove both names, leaving

• However, in the 1930s other British politicians also made favourable comments about fascist leaders.

Any comments? Verbcatcher (talk) 22:59, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

I have removed the mention of Churchill and Lloyd George. Verbcatcher (talk) 23:12, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
