@Knittedfriend
The current edition of this article is both fully referenced and apolitical. It details both the highs and lows of Mrs. Morden's career. Your assertion that I have edited this article to gain a political advantage is ludicrous. Everything I have written is properly backed up by reputable external sources. On the contrary, I rather suspect it is you who is editing this article for political advantage. I strongly assert that you are either an employee of Mrs. Morden or the Labour Party. This article is NOT an on-line CV, but an encyclopaedic piece detailing the life and career of a sitting Member of Parliament. While you may find sections of this page politically and/or electorally embarrassing/damaging, this does not detract from their fundamental truth. The section detailing Mrs Morden's political career contains the highlights from a rather bland period in office. These include her expenses returns from 2007/2008, the Christchurch Road Post Office episode and her selection as a PPC by an all-women shortlist. Believe me, if I could find anything else to write about this MP I would. Unfortunately, Mrs. Morden seems content to stay off the political radar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.52.193 (talk) 11:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Justify what you meant by 'gobbeldigook'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knittedfriend (talk • contribs) 10:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I will revert Knittedfriend's contribution, purely on aesthetic value. Sources have been edited incorrectly causing full url links to appear in the article. I cannot pretend to know enough about the person to comment on the content, but if the content is correct, please refer to "Help:Footnotes" to correctly edit this page. Chances are, if you remove references, the edit will be undone as the references are justified and correct. Willdow (Talk) 10:58, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

By using the term 'gobbledegook' I was attempting to convey my exasperation at your continuing attempts to edit this article for political gain and the time it takes to revert this article into something resembling an encyclopaedic entry. The ins and outs of the parliamentary debate on post office closures belong in a separate article. The sentence 'in March 2008 Jessica Morden was accused of being "two-faced" and "a hypocrite" by some of her constituents after voting against a Conservative parliamentary motion to halt the closure of hundreds of Post Offices whilst simultaneously campaigning to save the Christchurch Road branch in Newport East' already contains the facts of the matter and states them in a clear, unbiased fashion. I reverted your edit as it deviated wildly off-topic and was entirely superfluous. 82.6.52.193 (talk) 21:45, 20 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Willdow: the aesthetic value is irrelevant and not a reason for reversion. There's been a bit of an edit war over inclusion of text about voting against keeping post offices open. I think it should be included - it's got a reference and is fairly easy to see if it's true. I removed the "two-faced" quote as it's not really needed and isn't very encyclopedic. --h2g2bob (talk) 22:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
