I am going to add a POV tag to the Early Life section. Articles about Labour politicians from working class backgrounds routinely go into detail about the humble occupations and allegedly desperate lives of the subject's parents, but in this case, the parents are not even mentioned. Why? Presumably because, as Gaitskell's educational history suggests, they were upper middle class, and therefore non-people from a socialist perspective. This politically biased suppression of facts is not in line with wikipedia's neutrality policy. Choalbaton (talk) 17:35, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, geez. Just add something about them. Far more productive than adding some lame POV notice. You can surely pick up a biography about him from somewhere to get the details. Less of the pompous whining about politically biased blah, blah, blah would be appreciated too. -- Derek Ross | Talk05:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I added some info on his early life, and have to say that Choalbaton is right. Biographies of Labour politicians are often biased that way. Atchom01:12, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Gaitskell's true opinion on the Suez affair remains a matter of debate, as both Eden and Macmillan said he had agreed to support military intervention on 26th July 1956 when news of the canal's seizure reached London. Whether this is true, and whether Gaitskell changed his mind in the following days and weeks, cannot be proved either way. (92.7.25.225 (talk) 15:21, 28 November 2012 (UTC))[reply]
