Highly subjective viewpoint

edit

This page is highly subjective, and only includes negative statements about Marples. It states that: "The company was also awarded major civil engineering projects in the colonies". The phrase "The colonies" appears to be used specifically to reflect a derogatory view of the old British Empire, which hardly existed in the late 1950s and early 1960s. "Abroad" would have been adequate. Pdadme (talk) 12:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

True - and also Ethiopia was not a colony of the UK anyway. 84.65.123.171 (talk) 23:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
