Hello, I'm Gaia Octavia Agrippa. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Marian Hobson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 19:01, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am the Marian Hobson of the article. I added points about my father because what you have written will be wildly misunderstood by anyone not familiar with the UK. Please restore what I wrote - it is of interest to people researching e.g. class mobility. My father when I was born was a FITTER at Neasden Power Station. He became an MP, a Minister and finally when the Labour Party came to power and needed some ministers who could act in the House of lords, a Peer of the realm. I.e. some one who had left school at 14, could become part of the Government and a Peer.

I speak from a lot of experience in trying to explain this kind of thing to e.g. people in the US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.164.59.196 (talk) 19:29, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
