Talk:Runnymede Trust

message: I removed "left-wing" from the definition of the RT from the starting paragraph. What evidence is there that RT is a left-wing think tank? A quick google test for RT and left-wing turns up only 100 or so hits whilst a search for RT and right-wing, for example, turns up 200 hits. Some citation in this area might be needed.

thread_title:  Left-wing? 

message: The Runnymede Trust receives money from several major charities. No confirmation of government grants to the Runnymede Trust found. Corrected. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 20:24, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Error: no proof of government funding found

message: Added POV tag because of the portraying of a leftist organisation as independant and neutral.

replies: text: Totally disputed? Seems a bit strong for what is, essentially, just a stub. As for portraying RT as neutral, I don't see anything in the page that makes that claim. It merely describes the RT and what they advocate. As for independence, I see no reason to question that they aren't independent unless you have some citation or evidence to the contrary. Again, see my call for evidence above. Axon (talk|contribs) 13:02, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

text: Axon, justice as served. Check the Wikipedia articles on lobby group, think tank and decide yourself in which category the Runnymede Trust fits best. You are intelligent enough, so this should not be a major problem. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 14:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV tag 

message: The Runnymede Trust is portrayed as a think tank. Think tanks do not evangelize of advocate views. This is the work of action committees. --Germen 12:31, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, on what evidence do you base the above? In my mind think tanks do indeed advocate views: in this sense, they advise politicians on policy. They also self-describe themselves as a think tank. Axon (talk|contribs) 12:46, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  How people or institutions describe themselves is irrelevant. I would like to quote the example of Kim Jong Il. A think tank has the primary task to think and subsequently publish their views. The Runnymede Trust has the stated objective to influence laws (as written in this stub) and as such do qualify like a lobby group rather than a think tank. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 14:28, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it: the most useful source of information about an organisation is the organisation itself. Again, if you dispute the description please provide relevant sources? Also, political think tanks influence law all the time in that they advise politicians who make laws.  Axon (talk|contribs) 15:32, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Axon sahib, using the Runnymade Trust official publications is exactly what I do. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 12:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Factual inaccurate 

message: Children have been concieved, gestated and born since this discussion died. Without a discussion, there is no dispute. Hence, I will remove the pov tag. Veej 00:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Runnymede Trust's report is widely acknowledged by the media to have been Islamophobic  - what does this reference actually say on pg 185? --Fredrick day (talk) 19:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  need further information about a reference.

message: The final paragraph needs correcting, it is left hanging and giving the wrong impression; the Charity Commission ruled that the trust was not in breach of guidelines.
:"The Runnymede Trust has emerged victorious following a battle with a group of Tory MPs who demanded an official probe into its “woke” race equality work citing political bias."
