Montefiore Follick (31 December 1887 – 10 December 1958) was a British Labour Party politician, a campaigner for spelling reform, polyglot and advocate of decimal currency. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Loughborough from 1945 to 1955, having previously held the post of Professor of English at the University of Madrid in Spain. He had been adopted by the Loughborough Labour Party in 1936 as prospective parliamentary candidate but had a long wait because of the war years before being elected.

has abstract	Dr. Mont (Montefiore) Follick (n. 31 de diciembre de 1887 Cardiff; soltero; muerto 10 de diciembre de 1958) era un político del Partido Laborista británico, un defensor de la reforma ortográfica británica, políglota y defensor del sistema de moneda decimal.Parlamentario británico (MP) por Loughborough de 1945 a 1955. También fue profesor de inglés en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Fue elegido en 1949 y de nuevo en 1952. Introdujo propuestas en el parlamento de Reino Unido para la reforma de ortografía inglesa. También compró la sede actual del partido laborista en Loughborough en 1947. Follick estudió en la Sorbonne, Halle (Dr. Phil) y Padua. Trabajó como secretario del Aga Khan, del Robert Philp (Premier de Queensland) y de Mulay Hafid (Sultán de Marruecos). Optó a las elecciones laboristas al parlamento británico por Ashford (1929), este de Surrey (1931) y el oeste Fulham (1935) antes de su oferta exitosa para Loughborough en 1945. Follick fue también el fundador y propietario de le Regent School of Languages (destruido por la acción de enemigo, pero ahora parte de la Universidad de Westminster). A su muerte, legó sumas sustanciales para fundar y dotar la cátedra de un profesor de Filología Comparativa "en la que la reforma de la ortografía (no meramente la enseñanza de la lectura) tendría que formar una parte principal". El legado fue finalmente aceptado por la Universidad de Mánchester, por lo que existe una cátedra a su nombre en dicha universidad. Entre sus publicaciones destacan: The Adam’s Lottery, 1919; Influence of English, 1934; Facing Facts, 1935; Efforts of Chance, 1938; English Grammar for Foreigners, (11 ediciones); y The Twelve Republics, 1952. En su libro "Facing Facts", (iniciado en 1932) Follick se anticipó a las futuras agresiones de Alemania, así como a la invasión japonesa de China. El libro comienza con las palabras "Beware Europe" [Cuidado, Europa] y termina con "You have been warned"[Has sido avisada]. Follick fue miembro de la Sociedad Fabian, FRGS, y FRSA. Fue también el inventor y patentó el sistema de enseñar geografía Geodok.

In 1949 and again in 1952 he introduced private member's bills in the UK parliament for the reform of English spelling. He also bought the Loughborough Labour Party's current Building Unity House in 1947. Follick was born in Cardiff and educated at the Sorbonne, Halle (Dr Phil) and Padua. His family was Jewish, and he was named after Sir Moses Montefiore. He served as secretary to the Aga Khan, Sir Robert Philp (Premier of Queensland) and Mulay Hafid (Sultan of Morocco). He stood unsuccessfully for the Parliamentary constituencies of Ashford (1929), East Surrey (1931) and Fulham West (1935) before his successful bid for Loughborough in 1945. Follick was also the founder and proprietor of the Regent School of Languages (destroyed by enemy action, but now part of the University of Westminster). On his death, he bequeathed the substantial sums raised by this venture to found and endow a professor's chair of Comparative Philology "in which spelling reform (not merely the teaching of reading) should form a principal part". The bequest was finally accepted by the University of Manchester, and a chair bearing Follick's name is still in existence. His publications include The Adam’s Lottery, 1919; Influence of English, 1934; Facing Facts, 1935; Efforts of Chance, 1938; English Grammar for Foreigners, 11 editions; and The Twelve Republics, 1952. In his book "Facing Facts", (started in 1932) Follick accurately foretold the aggressions of Germany and the Japanese invasion of China. The book started with the words "Beware Europe" and ended with "You have been warned". The Case for Spelling Reform was published posthumously in 1965 by Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons; on p. v are the phrases "To the schoolchildren of Britain a consistent alphabet; To the nations of the world an international language". Follick was a member of the Fabian Society, and fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and of the Royal Society of Arts. He was also the inventor and patentee of the system of teaching geography.
