You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Common Sense Group''' is an informal group of [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] MPs in the United Kingdom who advocate a range of ideals. [[The Guardian|''The'' ''Guardian'']] described the Common Sense Group as a [[Far-right politics|far-right]] group.<ref>((Cite news |last=Walker |first=Peter |date=2023-12-28 |title=Heavy election defeat could lead to Tory lurch to right, analysis shows |language=en-GB |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/28/heavy-election-defeat-could-lead-to-tory-lurch-to-right-analysis-shows |access-date=2023-12-28 |issn=0261-3077))</ref>

==History==
''[[The Guardian]]'' said in November 2020 that the group "launched quietly in the summer with about 40 members  ... and now has 59 [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|MPs]] and 7 members of the [[House of Lords]] in its ranks".<ref name=Guardian_inspired/> Its president is [[Edward Leigh]] MP.<ref>((cite book |title= Conference 2021: What's on? - Monday 4th October, Fringe Events - 8:30pm the Common Sense Group & Blue Collar Conservatives |page=88 |url=https://public.conservatives.com/static/documents/conference/conference-2021/Conference%202021_What-s%20On---SCREEN.pdf |year=2021 |access-date=21 May 2022))</ref>

The Common Sense Group has been said to be a revival of the [[Cornerstone Group]], which appeared to be inactive after the [[2019 United Kingdom general election|2019 elections]] (the source of the Cornerstone "About" page shows a last modified date in 2018).<ref name=about>((cite web | title=About us | website=Cornerstone | date=20 June 2018<!--article:modified_time from page source-->| url=https://cornerstonegroup.wordpress.com/about/))</ref>

Following an interim report on the connections between [[colonialism]] and properties now in the care of the [[National Trust]], including links with [[Atlantic slave trade|historic slavery]], members of the group signed a letter to ''[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]'' in November 2020. The letter accused the National Trust of being "coloured by [[cultural Marxist]] dogma, colloquially known as the ''[[Woke#Woke_as_a_pejorative_term|woke]] agenda''".<ref name=Armistice>((cite news |title=Will the police break up Armistice Day ceremonies on Wednesday? |date=9 November 2020 |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]] |language=en |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2020/11/09/letterswill-police-break-armistice-day-ceremonies-wednesday/ |access-date=20 May 2022)) Letter to the Editor signed by [[Lee Anderson (British politician)|Lee Anderson]] • [[Gareth Bacon]] • [[Scott Benton (politician)|Scott Benton]] • [[Bob Blackman]] • [[Ben Bradley (politician)|Ben Bradley]] • [[Brendan Clarke-Smith]] • [[Philip Davies]] • [[Nick Fletcher (politician)|Nick Fletcher]] • [[Jonathan Gullis]] • [[Sally-Ann Hart]] • [[John Hayes (British politician)|John Hayes]] • [[Tom Hunt (politician)|Tom Hunt]] • [[Edward Leigh]] • [[Andrew Lewer]] • [[Chris Loder]] • [[Marco Longhi]] • [[Craig Mackinlay]] • [[Karl McCartney]] • [[Pauline Latham]] • [[David Morris (Conservative politician)|David Morris]] • [[Andrew Rosindell]] • [[James Sunderland (politician)|James Sunderland]] • [[Martin Vickers]] • [[Giles Watling]] • [[William Wragg]] • [[Margaret Eaton, Baroness Eaton|Baroness Eaton]] • [[Peter Lilley|Lord Lilley]]</ref>
