[edit] Text removed

I have just removed the following text: "and the mysterious appearance the next day of a light sabre in the space available for MPs to keep their swords in the Members cloakroom." in the bit about JR stating that he was a Jedi. Even if it is true, it is not sourced nor is it appropriate for an encylopedia. Enton 15:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

Unfortunately, the Labour Party's website is wrong - Jamie's birthday is not in March, but it is the same as his predecessor, Jack Cunningham, in August. The only "evidence" to back this fact up is this - my mum is the "Constituency Assistant" for Jamie's constituency of Copeland, England, and works for him - I've seen his birthday down on a calendar. She just told me the other day that she had just had to contact another website which had his birthdate wrong... perhaps it's wrong on the Labour website so as not to start conspiracy rumours of the vote being rigged or something similar...

hmmm.... whilst there's no reason not to beleive you, we're better going with the wrong 'official' information than possbily-accurate unofficial info, I think. Robdurbar 09:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'll have a look around on the net, and see if the correct birthday is to be seen anywhere. I believe it was "They work for you" that my mum contacted, as it had the March date, too. I'll see if they've changed it yet... Skarloey 13:27, 21 February 2006

Ah, got a source - the Copeland Borough Council's page on him. [1]. Skarloey 12:47, 23 February 2006.
