Talk:G. K.'s Weekly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Four publications; I'm redirecting them all here for the moment. G.K.'s lasted longer than the others, arguably (I'm not quite sure whether The New Witness made it past 1923). Charles Matthews 12:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Editorial quality

Good material in this article -- but it is appallingly written. Very hard to follow line by line if you analyse it closely. If I had time, I'd pitch in, but I think a Quality notice should be slapped on this for the time being. It needs clarifying and careful rewriting. In addiiton, this is not all about G.K.'s Weekly. The material needs either to be split up or rewritten. June 23 06.

[edit] Chesterton as editor...

"Right at the end of his life G. K.'s Weekly in editorial comment on the invasion of Abyssinia seemed to go further..." Further? Further towards what? It's unclear. --66.107.93.194 20:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Private Eye / Distributionism

The final paragrah reads:

"Private Eye, the British satirical and investigative magazine that is in a sense a remote descendant of the publications discussed above, has similarly been called anti-Semitic. Though Private Eye has pursued figures such as Robert Maxwell and James Goldsmith, that is a charge more easily deflected in the absence of any equivalent of distributism, the economic theory proposed by Belloc and the Chestertons."

Can anyone justify (1) the connection between Eye and GKW and (2) the link between distributianism and anti senitism. If not I shall remove the [entire section as it makes no sense to me.
