Removing the quotes

Unless I recive some solid objections I'm going to remove the quotes since at the moment they seem pretty slanted.Genisock2 (talk) 18:50, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I suppose you haven't read the prose? I wouldn't blame you, it's a bit dense. Suffice it to say that this article ranks roughly alongside Labour party election campaign literature in terms of editorial bias. Kahastok talk 19:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

You don't understand the source of the bias: it is Keynesian. All your comment serves to do its reveal that you are a Tory voter. I find it irritating that who make zero effort to add to the article and track developments sit in judgment over me. Look at the edit history, I've made virtually every single one of them. That shows you how much other users actually care about this topic. Cut me some slack, I can tone it down if you give me a chance. ~ Iloveandrea (talk) 22:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

You do not have to be a Tory voter to want Misplaced Pages to meet its core policy standards. It doesn't matter what the source of the bias is (though I'm glad that you acknowledge that the article is biased): it shouldn't be there at all. Kahastok talk 08:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

That's right, Misplaced Pages articles cannot be biased, whether that is a Keynesian bias or any other kind of bias. Thom2002 (talk) 12:37, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Massive bias

I understand that the editor who created this page and who contributed most of the content has been indefinitely blocked, in part for failing to adhere to WP:NPOV on other articles. More importantly, the text itself is clearly hopelessly skewed - there are a number of arguments that have been made both for and against the UK austerity program, but this article is simply dripping with negativity towards it, in almost every paragraph. With the original author off the scene, there is the possibility of bringing this back to a proper encyclopedic article on the topic, but it would be a massive job.

Maybe the best solution is to delete this article and start over--Shrike (talk) 15:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
