In several places, the Muslim Council of Britain is abbreviated to MCM, rather than MCB. Is this a mistake, or have I missed something? Mock wurzel soup ( talk) 17:33, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
See also: Talk:Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party. Many of the examples given in this article relate to Islamophobia and it has been suggested that Islamophobia is not racism - presumably it is religionism. Should we change to a more inclusive title? Discrimination in the UK Conservative Party sounds too weak but Hate crimes in the UK Conservative Party sounds too strong because it can't really be called a crime unless it goes to court. Are there any other suggestions? Mock wurzel soup ( talk) 10:45, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

@ Random Redshirt: re these edits, how is this related to the article topic (Racism in the UK Conservative Party). I understand that you were concerned that Thatcher's comments were not adequately contextualised, but I feel that this is a discussion for the Margaret Thatcher page, not here.
I fail to see how comments by the ANC ambassador to Algeria (Jonnie Makatini) are relevant here, especially considering that Thatcher's own page doesn't include them. -- Bangalamania ( talk) 17:55, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Why is this section in the article? There is nothing racist in it. As such I shall remove it. Random Redshirt ( talk) 09:43, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
The UK Conservative Party has existed since 1834, but the article only covers the 1960s onwards. Additionally, it doesn't summarise the sub-topics Islamophobia in the UK Conservative Party or Antisemitism in the UK Conservative Party, both of which are types of racism in the UK Conservative Party. If the scope of the article is "Racism in the UK Conservative Party" then the article needs summaries of those two articles and a lot of information covering the years 1834–1959, whilst the Rivers of Blood and Thatcher sections would need to be made shorter and the Dorries incident removed as undue recentism. If the scope isn't that, then there needs to be a strong justification for why the cut-off point is the 1960s and the article needs to be renamed and its scope clarified in the lead. — Bilorv ( talk) 16:10, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

I am just writing to say that much of this content appears to be biased. Some of the content slants towards one particular view and highlights a range of things which are connected. It mixes in Windrush with Enoch Powell and mixes that in with Nadine Dorries. The stuff on Boris Johnson appears to me to be untrue and took what he said out of context.-- 5.80.181.251 ( talk) 11:19, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
So there's nothing at all in the article about how racist and volatile Thatcher was towards the Irish? The Optimistic One ( talk) 22:59, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
