Some Excisions

[edit]

There is no question that Domvile was a rather virulent anti-Semite, and I would like to make clear I find his anti-Semitic remarks disgusting: some of his anti-Semitic claims before the Advisory Committee when he was interned are revolting. On the other hand, calling him a pro-Nazi fascist is perhaps a step too far, especially considering the reprehensible unreferenced nature of this article, which is by and large based on an edit by User:Fyes (no longer with Wikipedia, it would seem) from all the way back in 2004. At any rate, I've changed the lead, such as it is, to that he was a "British Pro-German anti-Semite in the years before the Second World War" which no one can dispute. The assertion that his diaries were deposited with the "Royal Naval College" was both unclear and inaccurate, since apparently the National Maritime Museum, of which Domvile was a proponent, were given the diaries in 1972. --Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 21:47, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
