Cleanup[edit]

I've marked this article for cleanup as in parts it is not really very encyclopaedic in style. The part about his attempt to stand for parliament, although not biased, could be phrased a lot more neutrally as it feels only just NPOV. Thryduulf 10:06, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not really sure how to improve - will fiddle a bit though - or you can have a go! Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! ^(Whisper...) 10:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Standing as MP - which party?[edit]

'In 1997, Diggle put his own name forward as one of 150 possible candidates for the then vacant Parliamentary seat of Kensington and Chelsea.'

Doesn't say which party. Was he applying to the Conservatives? Valetude (talk) 22:56, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

Can't see which way it's meant to be biased. Maybe it should mention that a lot of people felt sorry for him at the time of the attempted rape arrest, and believed that the girl was largely to blame, noting also that he had backed-off as soon as she resisted his advances.

Mental state[edit]

Read his Facebook and Twitter feeds (under various permutations of his name) - they are not just 'bizarre', he clearly has totally lost it. They are mainly disjointed rants (sometimes 20 per day) advocating the assassination of the Queen, who he apparently blames for the sectioning and death of his mother uncared for in a home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.187.175.176 (talk) 00:36, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
