Oh Wikipedia....

From the (not very good) wikipedia article on House of Cards

Michael Samuels—Environment. The ablest of Urquhart's rivals, Samuels has his reputation tarnished when it is leaked that he was in favour of homosexual rights, nuclear disarmament CND, and communism in his Cambridge days (the Tory point of view frowns on these things).

I keep meaning to do something about that Wikipedia article, but it's a little way down on my Wiki edit list.

It must be a bit like painting the Forth Bridge (or perhaps cleansing the Augean Stables...)

It's part of why I'm almost afraid to look at the Yes, Minister Wiki article, for fear that I'll spend hours on it.

I also want to tidy it up....

[tree_and_leaf]

I'm surprised it's so bad, actually - you'd have thought it was the kind of thing that would attract intelligent wiki-ers...

[miriammoules.livejournal.com]

It's the sort of thing that's further down the list...

I see the problem...

Well, to be fair -

- we do rather frown upon Cambridge, even now.

'Once a party of proud Etonians and closet gays, now a party of proud gays and closet Etonians.'

Hmmm... HAS anyone seen Portillo lately?

No, now you mention it. Odd, really.

(Did I hear Iain Duncan Smith on Today this morning, or did I dream that?)

Portillo is still doing weekly duty sharing a sofa with Diane Abbott on BBC 1's This Week on Thursday nights.

I think I might have heard Iain Duncan Smith this morning too, but was not certainly awake. He's been sought by the media a lot in the wake of the Baby P case.
