Talk:Paul McBride

Yes, apparently he was gay, and he was open about it, although he didn't flaunt it much, I only realised this after his death. I would be cautious about naming his civil partner. PatGallacher (talk) 17:06, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are conflicting accounts of his year of birth and age, can anyone resolve this? PatGallacher (talk) 00:44, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Youngest ever QC[edit]

We have two articles on Wikipedia claiming that a person is the youngest ever QC (see also: Lord Hooson QC). They cannot both be right. I have put fact tags on both articles until the issue is resolved. I note that the source cited for the proposition in this article (the BBC article) only states that Mr McBridge is "said to be" the youngest ever QC. --Legis (talk - contribs) 16:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's because McBride's birthdate is disputed. If he was born in 63 then Hooson is the youngest. If he was born in 64 then he is the youngest. Adam4267 (talk) 13:58, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that neither McBridge nor Hooson were the youngest ever QC. Spencer Perceval was made a QC (technically a KC) before he turned 33. I'll amend both articles. --Legis (talk - contribs) 15:32, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but if he was technically a KC then he wasn't a QC. I would say that Perceval was the youngest KC and McBride or Hooson (I think Hooson but not certain) were the youngest QC. Adam4267 (talk) 17:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KC and QC mean the same thing. KC means a male sovereign sits on the throne and QC means a female sovereign sits on the throne. When Queen Elizabeth abdicates or dies and Charles ascends the throne, all QCs will automatically become KCs. --Legis (talk - contribs) 17:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I understand the naming difference. Do you know that they will all become KCs or are you just assuming that? Adam4267 (talk) 17:47, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a pretty well established fact. Take a look at the article on Queen's Counsel. --Legis (talk - contribs) 19:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
