Talk:Scientology in the United Kingdom

Source

There is a current news story worth having a look at to see if anything can or should be included here: Britain's secret mission to expose Scientology leader as 'fraud' --JN466 10:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, it definitely merits inclusion. Other news media have taken up the story. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:54, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

David Gaiman?

I'm surprised this article doesn't mention David Gaiman at all - he was pretty prominent as the public face of the CoS in the UK in the 1960s - David Gerard (talk) 15:28, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Balancing some statements

The article contains some statements that do not appear to provide a balanced viewpoint "The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that Scientology is "an officially recognised religion in the Royal Navy".[13]" This is taken from a footnote enumerating some of the evidence provided to the Charity Commissioners by the CoS. I feel that this should be balanced by noting that the 2012 Royal Navy Personnel Management Manual (in Chapter 31 - Religion and Faiths) makes no reference to Scientology.

"The Crown Prosecution Service announced in March 2009 that Scientology should be treated as a religion for the purposes of the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006." It should be noted that the CPS also stated that this is simply a legal opinion that needs to be tested in the courts see this article "‘It is ultimately for the courts to decide how to interpret legislation.’
