This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

How are you supposed to trust any of this when some of it is so obviously wrong! Romanian orthodox church! pah! sure the obvious wrongness will be corrected sooner or later, leaving just those errors which are plausible, which is hardly an improvement!

If there was no wikipedia there would be something better, properly fact checked!

Arson claims?

Can we have some references (issue number, page number?) for the arson claims in Private Eye? They don't put full text online, so I can't find it there. This is pretty inflamatory (bad pun, yes) stuff, so needs to be referenced. Might be worth explaining "tired and emotional" ;) Shermozle 11:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The claims keep on getting removed: there's absolutely no way to verify them until something is published online, or at least until someone takes the time to trawl through back issues of Private Eye. I will relent and leave the page as it is, although I'd much rather see this entry be as detailed as possible, but hey, it's no skin off my balls either way.

Incidentally, here's a source for the claims, unfortunately, it's not one that can be used in the article, but it does at least give a date for the accusations: [1]. Around the 2 May 2005: happy hunting people. Driller thriller 19:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charing Cross Hospital

To this AOL person who keeps inserting the Charing Cross hospital stuff: if you want to say this, you need to provide a source. Read through the NPOV stuff about how Wikipedia approaches these kinds of things.

Venezuela, 1992 coup

He claims at https://twitter.com/GregHands/status/1168145603219677189?s=20 to have been in Venezuela in 1992, and "saw the riot, the tear gas, planes bombing of the presidential palace, the charred bodies on the back of the truck, etc. " Unfortunately none of this is reflected in his WP article here. Is this us falling down badly on WP, or is there anotehr explanation? Midgley (talk) 16:35, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A quick Google doesn't throw up any sources mentioning this - it's perfectly possible that he was there and it wasn't mentioned in these sources (or that he is exaggerating!). Bellowhead678 (talk) 18:25, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
