Nine mill?

Ahhhh, I get it - a fixer-upper.

I’m not sure about this choice as a news story.

Next time I suggest switching the title with the subtitle. Or perhaps a wholly new title: Welcome to former UK deputy prime minister Nick Clegg. Mr. Clegg is likely to be quite an interesting person to add to our community. If his family is joining him, that will be nice too. The fact that he can apparently afford one of our expensive homes is of less importance, at least to me.

This article feels uncomfortably close to "doxxing" Mr. Clegg and his family. It is really inappropriate to include this level of personal information in your reporting. I too agree with Jon Castor. There are many better ways to report Mr. Clegg has joined our community.

Thanks for the feedback. We've removed the specific address and location of the house after considering the possible security risks involved, given his life as a former lawmaker.

If Facebook pulls the same stuff in the UK that it's known for here, it will get hit with big fines. They take their privacy seriously.

Why should Mr. Clegg have the privilege of privacy when Facebook does not give a toss about our privacy?
