Talk:Francis Maude

message: Hi Rrius, I note you undid my edit on the fuel shortage as wp:undue.  I accept you acted in good faith, but there was nothing undue about a crisis which affected millions of motorists and dominated UK headlines for about a week.  I've added extra sources to make this clear and this source shows some front page headlines, we mustn't trivialise this section.  Maude was at the centre of it, gave "foolish" advice and dismissed expert opinion. Unlike the US, many people in the UK don't have a garage, making storage even more hazardous. Your PRWeb reference contradicts the Wikipedia article on the capacity of a jerrycan and seems otherwise irrelevant. There are plenty of articles from reliable UK sources though all condemn Maude. For the record, not the article, no notification of a strike was ever given and the Guardian articles suggest the Government was trying to damage its political opponents. 
Here's a few more sources to show how well covered it was.

message: I'm not sure we have to hear about 'private, fee-paying Abingdon School'. Anyone interested in schools knows that Abingdon is fee-paying, and it is hardly a surprising announcement. 109.154.12.212 (talk) 18:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Five children, but no mention of a wife. Also no mention of a mother. And the corresponding page on his father, Angus Maude  includes no mention of a wife, and lists Francis Maude alone as his issue, no mention of the brother. Something to hide, among all this? 109.154.12.212 (talk) 18:55, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I've moved the Big society and salary cut items to the government minister so that they're not connected c.f wp:synth.  I'm about to remove the Daily mail ref partyly because of its inappropriate editorialising, see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_23#Is_the_Daily_Mail_a_reliable_source and partly because its not relevant to the comments.
