message: I have removed this bit: He has also courted controversy by rebelling against his party whip to vote against equality in the age of consent and against sexuality equality legislation, but against ID cards and euthanasia. Back in April, NickBarlow changed the word "for" to "against", claiming that Bob Russell had changed his position on ID cards, but he was seemingly oblivious to the fact that he had also switched Bob Russell's position on euthanasia, as well as messing up the grammar of the sentence. The original reference was to Voting Record — Bob Russell MP, Colchester, but that page says nothing whatsoever about any controversy. All it does is give a list of how he has voted in relation to various bills. NickBarlow's reference is just as bad, as it is just a list of numbers based on the interpretations of the contibutors to another website. Nothing can be deduced from either source in terms of the level of contrversy that Bob Russell stirred up, and even any summarising of his positions from those data alone would require interpretation and analysis which it is not the position of Wikipedia editors to do. To claim that his voting has courted controversy, we need references that show that there were significant voices raised against him at the time he made specific votes. -- Oliver P.

message: he said "rubbish man!", not "you're a rubbish man".
Having read the letter. I think Bob missed out a comma. I think he meant to say, "Rubbish, man!" Thus, he was referring to the implication in Mr Polom's letter that he did not support the arts as "rubbish", and the "man" was a somewhat impolite way of addressing Mr Polom. I will amend the article. Andromer (talk) 09:10, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
