    I do NOT want to be ruled by people like that.
    You already are.

    But I agree. If Cameron was correct, the facts will come out whatever wiki says.

      Even if Cameron was correct and wikipedia was wrong, that doe not change the point that they altered it not in search of truth, but in search of a cheap political point, that being more important to them.

        Yes, I'm agreeing with you.

          When will people stop quoting Wikipedia as fact?

          Here's another good entry on corronation street actors, who'd have thought

          Gregson, once on a night out with the actors who play Bill Webster, Kev Webster, Ashley Peacock, Eddie Windass and Dev Allahan reportedly took 11 blondes back to his hotel room. Unfortunately, according to Jimmi Harkishin, who plays Dev, Gregson suffered from an unfortunate bout of impotence. Gregson denies this strongly but the general consensus is that the girls ended up with Ian Reddington and William Roache (Vernon and Ken respectively)


          Wikipedia = somewhere between an encyclopedia and news of the world
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            How do you know the guy wasn't just correcting the wrong entry? What's cheap and dishonest about amending an error.

              And that differs from nulabour how, exactly?

              They are all as bad as each other. Both the US and the UK need to boot out every politician, every senior civil servant, and start again.
              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                  Not at all, as far as I can see.
