replies: text: See also Brent Council's election results page. The Electoral Commission's offical results (364k PDF - p.20) list him as "Boateng, P. Y.". I conclude from this that "Paul Yaw Boateng" is the name he stood under at the last election, even if he doesn't use it on other occasions. --rbrwrˆ 21:42, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: His son was found guilty of date-rape <see: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2069594/Boateng-thought-untouchable--son-privilege-away-anything.html >, and throughout the trial, his aunts kept referring to the victim as 'white trash' as she gave her testimony.  The association of this man with Racists surely makes his continued presence in the Upper Chamber completely unacceptable?  One would think anyone would resign to protect the integrity of the House, but not this family ! 212.139.110.83 (talk) 01:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Although the four IPs which have added this irrelevant content have only edited this page it would, I believe, be ineffective to block just those four IPs given that the offending (ab)user is clearly on a dynamic IP and isn't guaranteed to come back to one again. Similarly, the rate of vandalism is only once per day, so a tital lockout of IPs and new editors isn't really the right solution presently, however the page is being acticely monitored and, should the situation deteriorate, I will semiprot the page. --AlisonW 12:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Shoot, I missed the same information being added by another IP shortly after it was reverted and it remained on the article for the best part of a day.   Somewhat ironically, another IP removed it... -- ALoan (Talk) 10:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we have to agree that this article is currently suffering from this repeated vandalism. it is clearly by the same individual given the nature of the copy & paste having the same markup errors each time, so I've now semi-protected the page for two weeks. Hopefully the individual concerned will cease and desist. --AlisonW 10:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: > Like many other members of Labour's left-wing in the 1980s, he became more moderate under the leadership of Neil Kinnock
how are we defining moderate here ? moderate and extreme seem non NPOV terms especially as there is no evidence provided eg what policies did he adopt that were objectively moderate or which objectively extreme ones did he abandon ? 82.11.163.59 (talk) 10:11, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
