This article is missing the crucial aftermath of Honeyford's "early retirement". He was only 52 when he was forced out of his job. What did he do with his life then? Did he just watch telly and drink pints, declining slowly into old age? Or was there some continued political or intellectual activity?
Please - let's gather some facts about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.170.168 (talk) 11:12, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
He also attacked "political correctness" and the "race relations lobby"[edit]
According to this article "He also attacked "political correctness" and the "race relations lobby"". This is put in relation to his notorious 1984 article. According to most sources, the first recorded use of "politically correct" with the modern meaning is around 1988 - if I recall correctly it was used ironically in the Independent around that time. So ... either this is The Telegraph (the source being their obituary) 'editorialising' anachronistically, and should be attributed to them or … … ????.
It is extremely unlikely that a Bradford teacher, writing in a consciously conservative publication, would, in 1984, have used a term/concept unfamiliar to UK readers until the early 1990s. I can't read the Telegraph obit (£££). Pincrete (talk) 17:50, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
