[edit] Unsourced text

Text removed:

On 16th November 2005 Keetch hit the headlines when he suggested on the BBC that pensioners living in three or four bedroom properties could be relocated to one-bedroom accommodation, regardless of whether or not they wanted to remain in their current home.

Do you have a reference for this? There is nothing on http://news.bbc.co.uk or http://news.google.co.uk yet. The wording is rather emotive, too. --Cavrdg 20:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia section

I think his waist measurements should not have been removed. They are very important for the electorate to know.

[edit] Constituency issues

Looking back through past edits and reversions, it seems this Keetch is a colourful fellow who attracts both criticism and praise up and down the country (though it seems mostly from local people). It would be interesting to expand this new section to include just about everything he has done for his constituency. With a bit of research and proper referencing we can make this the best page for a backbencher on Wikipedia! --Juan Kerr 08:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

The section that has you've added is odd, to say the least, and should be removed. Do we have a source claiming there is an inconsistency here? You seem to be doing unsourced political commentary on the article directly. Morwen - Talk 08:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

If you believe my contribution is inaccurate or biased then why not simply edit it to make it impartial rather than removing the entire section?--Juan Kerr 08:20, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

It's unfixable. Again, has he been criticised in the local press for this or are you making up something? I've been unable to find anything on thisisherefordshire.co.uk about this, but it doesn't look like they put their comment pages online. Morwen - Talk 08:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
