[edit] Unsupported Statement / Vandalism?

I'm going to remove the following paragraph from the 'Personal Life' section because it's an unsupported, in some places, nonsensical paragraph which cites no sources and seems to have been added as someone's idea of a joke

Lord Faulkner's brother is Sir James Dennis Compton Faulkner, known as Sir Dennis Faulkner. Lord Faulkner is also related to Brent Faulkner, indisputably the most handsome man now living (also widely desribed internationally as a gentleman, scholar and friend of the working man). Reliable sources now report that Lord Faulkner, contrary to popular opinion, local folklore and scientific testing is not genetically related to the infamous Terry Palmer, otherwise known as "Johnny Red Socks," "Sammy Peanuts" and "Lonny 'Lock Up Your Ladies' Laidwell."

[edit] Infobox

I have removed the use of 'The Lord Faulkner...' as the main name for the infobox. This has been done largely for similar reasons to those justifying the same action on Margaret Thatcher's page. These being that it is inappropriate and misleading to use an appointed peerage as the main name in an infobox, particularly given that this was not how Faulkner was styled whilst he was in prominence as a politician. Evidence for this is that he was not a peer during his time as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. AJMW (talk) 19:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
