Talk:Cunninghame Graham

Note Worthy?
Is it worth noting that Scottish musician Paul Mounsey has a song on his Nahoo 3 album entitled "Don Roberto's Sabbath", and that he also wrote the music for the recent BBC production, "The Adventures of Don Roberto", about Cunninghame Graham? I don't want to put it on there in error. Thanks!  Đɨℓʊŋα χχν 23:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Election of 1886
You mention 'His election programme'. Was this the official programme of the Liberal Party? It sounds much more radical. Valetude (talk) 23:55, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Section - Scottish independence and the Scottish Labour Party
This whole paragraph lacks citation:

Because of his Scottish nationalism, and criticism of the Labour Party's timidity and lack of socialist zeal, Graham has been effectively written out of Labour Party history, and the belief has been circulated that after his electoral defeat in 1892, he retired from politics until the late 1920s. This is entirely incorrect; in fact, between 1905 and 1914, Graham, while retaining the position of elder statesman, social commentator, and renowned world-traveller, became more militant, involving himself in many left wing causes and protests. There is evidence to suggest that he joined the hard-left British Socialist Party, and he was an associate of anarchists and a political assasin. Graham was also a vociferous anti-imperialist at the height of British jingoism, a high-profile supporter of the women's suffrage movement, and Home Rule for Ireland and India.

It also reads as a little bit 'original research'. Also how can he have been 'anti-imperialist'? This article says previously 'with a due regard to the integrity of the Empire".' (full paragraph below)...

In 1888, Graham attended the SHRA Conference at the Anderton's Hotel in Fleet Street and passed a motion "That in the opinion of this Conference the interests of Scotland demand the establishment of a Scotch national Parliament and an Executive Government having control over exclusively Scotch affairs, with a due regard to the integrity of the Empire".

If he favoured Sottish Home Rule can that really be said to favour Scottish 'Independence'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.200.177.1 (talk) 14:56, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
