[edit] Ken Bobley
Blatant hoax about a non-existent MP / lecturer: zero Google hits for "Kenneth Bobley" and zero Google hits for "Ken Bobley". It would be astonishing, to say the least, if there was an MP who never had any mention recorded online at Hansard (whose online records start in 1988 and so would cover 7 years of his Parliamentary career) - see [1].

- Follow-up the other giveaway is that there is no constituency of 'Camden' – Camden Borough is split between Holborn and St Pancras (UK Parliament constituency) and Hampstead and Highgate (UK Parliament constituency), neither of whom had this individual as an MP between 1985 and 1995 as claimed.
