British Union of Fascists

[edit]

Original write put Mosley's movement down as the "British Union of Fascists", as this was post-war however the movement had long-since chagned it's name to the "Union Movement" - officially a quite seperate organisation. Have ammended accordingly. -JG 13.9.07 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.21.43 (talk) 22:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prompt legislation

[edit]

The Notting Hill riots were followed by the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act. This was prompt by normal legal standards.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.212.102 (talk) 16:09, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the first reading in 1961 was 24 hours after the Queen's speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.212.102 (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"caucasian"[sic]

[edit]

For most purposes, "white" would be preferable. In any case, "caucasian" with a lower-case "c" is definitely wrong... AnonMoos (talk) 07:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, seems to be some well-intentioned but slightly overzealous copyediting by an editor, I have reverted it as I don't think any of the edits really improve or simplify the flow of the text, correct any errors, and in fact have introduced some other issues (such as the use of caucasian and the assertion that the increase in Caribbean immigration was caused by the end of World War II, rather than that the two events coincided). --Canley (talk) 10:38, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
