Henry Jackson Society principles[edit]

"He is a signatory of the Henry Jackson Society principles..."

When did he sign? (Can we merge this sentence with another paragraph that is chronologically relevant?) RJFJR (talk) 17:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brexit support statements[edit]

A Vote Leave leaflet under the heading EU MYTH BUSTER has a quote from Sir Richard - "Brexit would bring two potentially important security gains: the ability to dump the European Convention on Human Rights ...". My understanding is that the European Convention on Human Rights is a "Council of Europe" artifact. Wikipedia tells us that the Council of Europe is a different organisation from the European Union which the Brexit vote was about. Brexit will not give us the ability to dump the European Convention on Human Rights. In my opinion, Sir Richard's statement is less of a MYTH BUSTER and more of a MYTH MAKER. 87.115.67.1 (talk) 16:37, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Computer Weekly and Byline Times investigation[edit]

The joint investigation by Computer Weekly and Byline Times, which accused Dearlove, isn't widely covered by mainstream news outlets and is based on Russian hacked (mis)information. These are merely rumors and extrapolations which yet need confirmation and better coverage. Until then are just rumors of exceptional claim which need exceptional evidence and confirmation, possibly making false accusations, association fallacy and violation of BLP. For the RfC on the inclusion of the information see Talk:Angus Dalgleish#RfC. Don't revert inclusion until the content has been thoroughly discussed and consensus reached.
