• ... that Patricia Moberly, one of the few white women to join Zambia's United National Independence Party, was once arrested during a protest outside Downing Street for attacking the Prime Minister's car? Source: "She shocked the small white community by taking a teaching job at the secondary school for black Africans and joining the United National Independence Party" (The Times); "she joined the Zambian UNIP party, one of the very white woman members of that party " (LSBU)
  • ALT1:... that Patricia Moberly was wrongly convicted of attacking Prime Minister Ted Heath's car with a placard? Source: "in the early 1970s, she was arrested at a demonstration outside Downing Street in protest against government inaction over the rebellion in Rhodesia. She was alleged to have thrown a placard (“No Peace Without Majority Rule”) at prime minister Ted Heath's car and was convicted of a breach of the peace... a photograph of her under arrest, still clutching the placard she was supposed to have thrown, appeared in the Morning Star and her conviction was quashed on appeal." (The Times)

• Comment: She is a very interesting lady, and there could be a large number of DYKs made from her article. I have gone with ones related to her arrest but if the reviewer finds something else more interesting I am open to suggestions.

Length, history and reference verified; looks OK for copyvio. I presume LSBU meant to have "few" in its page for her (I'm sure she was very white in that crowd). Daniel Case (talk) 20:32, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
