Talk:Robert Boothby, Baron Boothby

message: It is important to state hear, the extent to which Boothby participated in his obscene homosexual proclivities. He was known to be a rather bizarre kind of pervert. A good book on the man would link him to the most depraved acts of perversion, including many of the infamous gatherings set up by Ronny Kray.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by KarlVKrish (talk • contribs) 23:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

On Macmillan we seem to have a fundamental disagreement about the materiality of a leading (and according to many, psychologically sensitive) politican fearing throughout his adult life that one of his putative daughters might not in fact be his own flesh and blood.  Surely our readers are adults who can be allowed to consider this evidence, outlined succinctly as I have sought to do, for themselves? Nandt1 (talk) 05:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no actual evidence to support a lasting psychological effect on Macmillan from his wife's affair, let alone one from the uncertain paternity. All there is is speculation. We have grounds to mention the affair in the personal section; but within that, the question about paternity is actually marginal, and to belabour it would rather obviously be to give it undue weight, so the elaboration will probably have to come out on that basis.

message: Although Boothby was Scottish and was MP for two Scottish constituencies, no mention is made of the Party in which he stood for election. The Unionist Party, not the Conservative Party. Different party. 2A02:C7C:1821:4600:E8E4:7653:3DC:F6D0 (talk) 12:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really a different party, certainly not by 1924 when he was first elected. Its full name to this day is the Conservative and Unionist Party, and the name Unionist was starting to fall out of use even by then. Although the party is not mentioned in the text, it is in the side bar. GarethAd (talk) 14:10, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
