This viewpoint is not relevant to or supported by the article. The article describes a Wikipedia editor using his position to oppose labor MP George Galloway and labor leader Jeremy Corbyn. It's hard to see how this is "left based".

I was implying that the left does what the originally linked "offender" does all the time without scrutiny.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_Uni...

^ Case in point, the first three paragraphs on illegal immigration to America contain no American conservative figures and/or counter points.

Now you can argue that the top 3 paragraphs are factual, and potentially the absolute truth of the matter. But I feel like that might be a little bit unfair if you catch my drift.

You are always free to add "conservative figures and/or counter points" if you can support them according to the Wikipedia guidelines. The lack of said counter points on such a high profile topic(1) suggests there aren't any good ones.

(1) Fringe topics are a different matter. A topic which is ignored by most people can contain very one-sided views simply because no one else cares.
