Vince Gable on Dispatches
Why has all reference to this programme disappeared from the Internet and Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.0.227 (talk) 18:17, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Mansion tax
This passage is tendentious and needs citaion or deletion:
"Cable continued to rise in status within the party until doubts were first raised about his judgement after his idea for a much mocked "mansion tax" when he appeared unable to understand the likely practical difficulties with such a tax. The idea was quickly buried following the 2010 election[citation needed]." Shtove (talk) 18:54, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Goan, Indian or Kenyan?
Is this accurate? 'Cable's first wife was Olympia Rebelo, a Goan Roman Catholic.' Or is it just a bit imprecise? Elsewhere she is described as 'an East African of Goan origin' which is certainly imprecise, not least since Goa is an Indian state and East Africa isn't a country. So Mrs Cable may have been 'Kenyan of Indian background', or perhaps just 'Indian'. Or maybe something else? A 'Kenyan Asian' perhaps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.1.94 (talk) 11:01, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
