"Jeremy Clarkson protests"?

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Seeing as the opposition to ending the tax exemption comes from known tax dodgers like Clarkson, as many notable people have pointed it out, and the protests were astroturfed by him, and centered entirely around him as the central figure, would it be advisable to rename the article to better reflect this fact? 46.97.170.199 (talk) 11:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

undue removal of needed information

Latest comment: 28 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

assuming good faith on the action, but the removal in of this content risks undue and unintentionally bias in the article.

On that day, protestors were seen blocking and delaying ambulances with their tractors in London.^[1]^[2]^[3]

This is something verifiablly happened, was given very little but due weight in the article of only a sentence. Bejakyo (talk) 22:52, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

That addition was totally undue. One ambulance (not ambulances) was seen struggling to weave its way through the traffic (as happens in many towns and cities on most days across the country) with the traffic, including tractors, buses and cars, doing their best to squeeze out of its way, with no evidence of deliberate blocking. That event does not seem to have been covered as "seen blocking" by any of the mainstream reliable sources, and even the couple of minor outlets that do cover it do not show it that way. So yes, it is not only undue, it is unsupported synthesis too. -- DeFacto (talk). 08:32, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
