Talk:David Benson-Pope

message: I removed this:
:Given that Benson-Pope has previously made scathing comments about the private lives of other MPs (such as Don Brash), these allegations are particularly damaging.
It was unsourced and seem a bit silly to me. Even if Benson-Pope is involved in this club which is a big if, there is no evidence his wife wasn't aware or disagreed. The primary issue with Brash was that he cheated on his wife (the second time) with a extremely powerful person (leading to trust issues both due to the fact he kept cheating and the fact that he had a close, secret relationship with someone who actively campaigns for and is likely to benefit a lot from policies he is espousing). On the other hand, the Benson-Pope thing while obviously very damaging if true, is of a completely different nature if he's not hiding it from his wife... Nil Einne 22:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: However, defenders suggest that Wishart is fanatically devoted to a smear campaign against politicians he dislikes; that the allegations are easy to make and hard to disprove; and they mark a new low for New Zealand politics.
because it was unsourced and fairly generic. If there's a source for the first part of the sentence, about Wishart's devotion to a smear campaign, then it's reasonable to go back in.-gadfium 22:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Fair enough, I agree that those statements were broad/unsourced. It will be interesting to see how this story develops. (I would love to see Wishart get his comeuppance.) -- FP (talk)(edits) 00:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
