message: "It was roundly ridiculed in the media as a 'failed coup'" seems a bit strong for an 'unbiased' media - anyone else object? BarryNorton
I agree and I have changed it to a form of words I think describes what happened in straightforward terms. 81.86.108.83 19:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: often quoted as Welsh born - stated here Cernarvonshire; births deaths marriages index shows him born in Doncaster - as stated in box - any knowledge which is correct?
:Good question, Anon. This should be cleared up (I've asked for a reference). All it say's on his bio on his website is "Born in 1968 to Welsh speaking parents, Mr Simon grew up in North Birmingham". Rather cryptic! So, where was he born? Secondly, prseumably because his parents were/are Welsh-speaking, he is in the category Welsh-speaking people. Is that true or is it just another assumption?

message: Md010101 asked for an explanation to [ my edit], so I'll try and oblige. My edit removed the text:
: In the same interview he controversially admitted that his prime responsibilities as an MP were not to his constituents. Stating that "my job as a Labour MP is to support the Labour government and work for the re-election of another Labour government"
I watched the video before I removed the paragraph. He does say the "my job as a Labour MP..." quote, but does not say "his prime responsibilities as an MP were not to his constituents" as far as I can see. I also removed the "hubris" accusation, referenced to Guido Fawlks, because Guido's post was a one-liner. --h2g2bob (talk) 20:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. He does not say that his prime responsibilities as an MP are not to his constituents in the source cited. He may say something which in your opinion amounts to the same thing, but it is not verified by the cited source. The edit violates WP:OR and there's certainly no consensus for it.

message: It says: "Born in Caernarfonshire ... to Welsh-speaking parents, Simon grew up in Birmingham, attending Handsworth Grammar School ...".
So how come it also says he was 'Born Doncaster'?

message: From the main article: "Simon lives in Birmingham is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company". No serious, he is not, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Royal_Shakespeare_Company_members. Whoever wrote  this probably meant that he has a membership of the RSC, something completely different and really not significant.
: could you explain the difference between "has a mambership of the RSC" and "is a member of the RSC"? Shcha (talk) 02:57, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
