8th December 2006- yet more editing by me of libels and gross exaggerations.

I've deleted several references to books that are given to -uniquely- invite the reader to read Owen from the viewpoint of his alleged enemies. There was a outright libel about his time in the Balkans which I have deleted and will delete again if needs be.

Correct!David Owen is married to Debbie. Needs to be corrected! Pupil from India

Does anyone know if Lord Owen was one of the later SDP MPs who voted for Foot to ensure that Healey didn't get in in 1980 and create the party crises.

There's no way off verifying this - Ivor Crewe and Anthony King uncovered this when interviewing ex-Labour/SDP MPs 'off the record' and this was told to them in confidence. The names of the MPs remain unknown, and it could be any half-dozen of the 27 ex-Labour SDP MPs. Perhaps someone would like to ask old Doctor Death himself...

It is ironic given the subject matter that the last contributor(s) have chosen not to reveal their own identities! Philip Cross 07:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

We know for a fact that owen voted for Healey because he cast his vote publicly, along with Bill Rodgers, we know this because he tells us! Fry2000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fry2000 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
