After establishing copy vio from the two sources given above I decided to presumptively remove all the material added to this page by the editor in question. To do this I rolled back the article to a version from 2008. I also removed material from this talkpage, which was mostly quotes but could contain some copy vio as well.

This article is a put up job

""What profiteth a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul."

It seems fairly clear that this article on Baron Laidlaw (who, as a tax exile, might be stripped of his position in the House of Lords under new legislation)is a put up job. I believe he has paid someone to write it on his behalf since everything written here is positive whereas he pursued a very grimy business career and also a rather sleazy personal life that was exposed by one of the major tabloids. This article should portray a slightly more realistic picture of this man who is so determined to portray himself as whiter than white, as can be seen in these links:
