Politics surrounding the British and Irish Lions
The "politics" are a figment of the imagination of a tiny minority. I have consulted all relevent published material on The Lions and can find nothing which confirms that there are issues as outlined here. It is possible, of course, to fabricate a political dimension to anything but for Wikipedia I do not believe that it is appropritae to try and recognise this minority obsession in this case. Perhaps those who think otherwise could cite some authoritiative sources of material on The Lions and Politics. I have been unable to find such sources eiter on line or in print.

 * Delete unless sources can be cited. It is the burden of the article author to prove their claim by citing references. Fernando Rizo T/C 17:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this is speculative, original, conspiracy theory. It may even be pure fabrication. At the least it is unverifiable. -Splash 17:56, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

 * If the opinions are MacRusgail's alone then delete, if he can name major political groups that have this opinion then keep.GordyB 17:42, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - if some celtic nationalists are saying this then we need actual sources, and it probably wants merging into the main article. Secretlondon 05:36, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment, please don't merge this in with the main article. The main article is about the sports team, this is politics. The main article largely serves to redirect people to subpages in any case.GordyB 16:43, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
