Talk:David Miliband

Education - what 'special scheme'??
The article says that David Miliband won admission to the University of Oxford with the assistance of an Inner London Education Authority scheme intended to enable comprehensive school pupils to attend the university.[citation needed] Is this statement accurate? What, if any, is the source for this claim? What was this scheme? The whole thing is puzzling since at that time practically all undergraduates at British unviersities were automatically entitled to a grant from their local education authority (LEA), subject to a residence requirement and a means test. It looks to me as if someone who doesn't understand the ordinary system of LEA grants then in operation has jumped to the erroneous conclusion that it was something oh-so-special.

 * It's over two weeks since I raised this matter. Unless someone provides a reliable source for the claim I shall delete the words with the assistance of an Inner London Education Authority scheme intended to enable comprehensive school pupils to attend the university.[citation needed] in which case the article will simply state that David Miliband won admission to the University of Oxford.

 * Done. Norvo (talk) 00:16, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Official Website
Please remove the official website in the info box, it is clearly not associated with this David Miliband in any way, let alone 'official'. Iain UK  talk  22:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Done. I'll see if I can track down the proper one. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:06, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Request for Comments
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)


 * It is easier to discuss a politician's economic and foreign policies than any nebulous religion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceMilliband (talk • contribs) 08:58, 24 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Is there any source saying David Miliband's religion is "None"? Bus stop (talk) 23:29, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Grades
We are told about David's A-level grades, BBBD, but we are not told about the subjects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceMilliband (talk • contribs) 09:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I am wondering if these grades would normally be enough to get into Oxford University. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrinceMilliband (talk • contribs) 12:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

No longer honourable?
Not in terms of his character - that is for others to decide. But doesn't he stop becoming Right Honourable, now that he is no longer an MP? OK to remove the title from the side bar? QuakerActivist (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

No, as a former member of the Cabinet (and thus the Privy Council) he is entitled for that title for life, ex-oficio. Mrkingpenguin (talk) 17:39, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
