Talk:John Mann, Baron Mann

message: I thought he was alive and then I read "John Mann (born 10 January 1960) was a British Labour Party politician ...."
If he has died, then the date of death should be included. If he has not died, probably the entry should read "John Mann (born 10 January 1960) is a former British Labour Party politician ...."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.33.185.122 (talk) 23:24, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

message: I have removed a bunch of spam links in the References section (linking to such sites as sagewisdom.org), but this leaves a lot of floating miscellaneous links here, in the so-called "News references" section that follows, and in the External links section that follows that. These are essentially a directory of links targeting material related to John Mann – this is rather against the recommendations of Wikipedia:External_links. I propose removing all of the bullet-points links in References/"News references" and slimming down the External links, unless anybody has any better ideas. Alexbrn 17:10, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

message: John Mann is notable for his paedophilia work and has been doing alot recently to work hand in hand with convicted paedophiles[] This should definitely be added to the article, I'd suggest changing John Mann's profession per reference given above. He's exposing the westminster paedophile ring.
: Since Operation Midland has been wound up without finding corroborative evidence, that is not appropriate. Philip Cross (talk) 11:55, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

replies: text:  Thanks to both. On reflection, I should probably await the conclusion of the discussion before making significant edits on the activities under discussion. Jontel (talk) 16:28, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

message: John Mann, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group against Anti-Semitism, and fellow MP Dennis McShane, former chairman of the Group, appeared as witnesses for Ronnie Fraser, claimant in an employment tribunal where the UCU was the respondent. The tribunal report had the following to say about the two MPs (see page 37 of the report):
:"We did not derive assistance from the two Members of Parliament who appeared before us. Both gave glib evidence, appearing supremely confident of the rightness of their positions. For Dr MacShane, it seemed that all answers lay in the MacPherson Report (the effect of which he appeared to misunderstand). Mr Mann could manage without even that assistance. He told us that the leaders of the Respondents were at fault for the way in which they conducted debates but did not enlighten us as to what they were doing wrong or what they should be doing differently. He did not claim ever to have witnessed any Congress or other UCU meeting. And when it came to anti-Semitism in the context of debate about the Middle East, he announced, “It’s clear to me where the line is ...” but unfortunately eschewed the opportunity to locate it for us. Both parliamentarians clearly enjoyed making speeches. Neither seemed at ease with the idea of being required to answer a question not to his liking."
