For the record (post IRC discussion), Re Middle name this is single-sourced and not confirmed by other sources which state he does not have a middle name. -- VampWillow 21:04, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I've added a reference to Charles Clarke's promotion. Anecdota
is he still the right honourbale? what is the correct form of address for a high comissioner? Amo 22:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
This entry appears to be written by someone with a vast amount of bias - see weasel words such as 'prissy' and 'exclusive'...
His son was found guilty of date-rape <see: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2069594/Boateng-thought-untouchable--son-privilege-away-anything.html >, and throughout the trial, his aunts kept referring to the victim as 'white trash' as she gave her testimony. The association of this man with Racists surely makes his continued presence in the Upper Chamber completely unacceptable? One would think anyone would resign to protect the integrity of the House, but not this family ! 212.139.110.83 ( talk) 01:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)twl 212.139.110.83 ( talk) 01:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
It is quite normal for the family of public figures to be included in their Wikipedia entries. I can't see why the fact he has a son isn't mentioned - especially since the person in question was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to three years, ten months. — Preceding

Why is there a section about Boateng's son? Is it relevant?/ Nicke L 13:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
This needs to be removed. It does not relate to the man. If the event is notable enough for a page for his son, then it should be put there, with full citations, not the ones currently present. - Francis Tyers · 15:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I have repasted the beginning section here. Why it should appear twice, I don't know. Whoever is up to this should decide properly what he/she wants to do and do it appropriately. -- Natsubee 10:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the offending text from the article (and note that it is an IP-anon adding it back) as clearly unwarranted and also removed it here too on the grounds that if it is irrelevant there then also irrelevant here. -- AlisonW 12:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
What is he doing nowadays, after his High Commissioner posting ended? – Kaihsu ( talk) 22:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
There is no mention of Boateng's new role as a working Labour peer, this should be rectified. 86.156.253.92 ( talk) 23:05, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Could we make it quite clear in the article that he was not leveling any accusations against one of the forerunners of the Blood Rap movement? 82.42.241.253 ( talk) 13:40, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

> Like many other members of Labour's left-wing in the 1980s, he became more moderate under the leadership of Neil Kinnock how are we defining moderate here ? moderate and extreme seem non NPOV terms especially as there is no evidence provided eg what policies did he adopt that were objectively moderate or which objectively extreme ones did he abandon ? 82.11.163.59 ( talk) 10:11, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
