[edit] Politics
Recently, Mr Harvey-Jones has come to the public's attention largely as a sponsor of The New Party, an organisation which campaigns against environmental causes - why is there no mention of this in the article? HairyDan 12:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Easy criticism is free Hairy Dan but why don't you put something together yourself if you have any information - that's the idea isn't it? The content on this site doesn't write itself! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain McVitie (talk • contribs) 18:47, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] is this a cut and paste article from another website? Or vice versa?

not very ethical either way is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain McVitie (talk • contribs) 19:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] E-Boat
The article says Mr. Harvey-Jones got an MBE for commanding an E-Boat. Err, E-Boats were small surface craft of the German Navy in World War II. One presumes he commanded it very poorly? :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.48.205.42 (talk) 20:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC) The E-boat was used by the Royal Navy post war for intelligence gathering JHJ was asked about it in a tV interview - he replied as he was engaged in "Fisheries protection" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ala.foum (talk • contribs) 16:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Biography?
Shouldn't this article have something about Sir John's life—in particular his service in the Navy & his time at ICI? And the Quotes section isn't much better than a collection of Trivia.
I see that much of the text was removed because of copyvio: fair enough. The material simply needs to be rewritten/summarized. --NigelG (or Ndsg) | Talk 10:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
