2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Talk:Neville Chamberlain

Delete[edit]

This is so wrong. Neville Chamberlain bought us, at the cost of Czechoslovakia, enough time to make a start on rebuilding our armaments industry. Of course he had to spin it with the 'peace in our time' bollocks but he was taking the pragmatic solution to a very difficult problem. This article does RW no favours at all and should be deleted - or perhaps someone can explain why we need it? Jack Hughes (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

I agree this misses the reality of Chamberlain's actions -basically, he did a horrible thing, but had no real choice in the matter. Had the UK gone to war without an arms build-up, things might have gone worse for them. --TheLateGatsby (talk) 18:05, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Now, where else did we read similar arguments like those...?--Arisboch (talk) 14:52, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Sounds like it needs a rewrite rather than a deletion. SophieWilder 18:09, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps delete it and build up Appeasement? --TheLateGatsby (talk) 18:27, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
