Homophobic campaigning

[edit]

Surely this article needs a large section of his anti-gay campaigning? He was absolutely obsessed with it. Not mentioned in the article is that in the 1980s he proposed that a popular television soap opera produced in the UK by the BBC called 'Eastenders' should be "reviewed" because it featured a kiss between two male characters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.224.66.67 (talk) 23:53, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This Needs a Lot of Work

[edit]

There is a lot wrong with this article as it stands, from the chunks of copy and pasted text to the exclusive focus on his paedophile campaign. Not really sure where to start, but presenting some of his other activities - and perhaps breaking Hayman out into a separate chunk - might be a good place. Any thoughts?

Point of View

[edit]

Dickens was a controversial figure in his lifetime - http://timesonline.typepad.com/dons_life/2014/07/the-real-geoffrey-dickens.html - and the article as it stands presents him merely as a misunderstood prophet of the paedophile scandal he is currently (2013-2015) most famous for. Flagging it for point of view until there's more context on his problematic career outside of his paedophile investigation. AdventurousMe (talk) 16:35, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

what was the illness he died of ?
