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 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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 05:44, 30 September 2026.

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.

'''Simon Mahon''' (4 April 1914 – 19 October 1986) was a British [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] politician.

==Biography==
Simon Mahon was born into a prominent [[Roman Catholic]] family of Irish descent in [[Bootle]]. His father, [[Alderman]] Simon Mahon (1886–1961), was a mayor of [[Bootle]] who ran for [[Liverpool Exchange (UK Parliament constituency)|Liverpool Exchange]] MP in [[1935 United Kingdom general election|1935]].<ref>"Bootle loses a great worker by the death of Alderman Simon Mahon",
'Bootle Times'', 12 May 1961.</ref> His brother, [[Peter Mahon (politician)|Peter]], was elected MP for [[Preston South (UK Parliament constituency)|Preston South]] in 1964. His great-nephew, Peter Dowd, has been the Labour MP for the Bootle constituency since 2015, and served in the Shadow Cabinet under [[Jeremy Corbyn]] until 2020.((citation needed|date=July 2020))

Mahon was educated at St Joseph's [[Irish Christian Brothers]] school and at St James' School, [[Bootle]]. He became a general contractor. Mahon was a councillor and later an [[alderman]] of [[Bootle Borough Council]] and was chairman of the housing committee and [[Mayor]] of Bootle from 1962 to 1963. He was chairman of Bootle [[Trades Council]] and Labour Party. Mahon was [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] for [[Bootle (UK Parliament constituency)|Bootle]] from 1955 to 1979. He served as an opposition [[whip (politics)|whip]] from 1959 to 1961.((citation needed|date=July 2020))

In 1968, Mahon and his brother, Peter, together with another Catholic Labour MP, [[Walter Alldritt]], threatened to resign the Whip.((clarify|date=July 2020)) They had taken exception to remarks made by [[Douglas Houghton]], Chairman of the [[Parliamentary Labour Party]], that large families were a form of "social irresponsibility". Only a midnight meeting with [[Prime Minister]] [[Harold Wilson]] and a written statement that Houghton's views were not party policy dissuaded the MPs from carrying out their threat.((citation needed|date=July 2020))

In 1969, Mahon was created a [[Order of St. Gregory the Great|Papal Knight]]. Upon returning from his investiture [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]] to the House of Commons, he was prevented from entering the Chamber by the [[Sergeant at Arms]] until he divested himself of his ceremonial sword. In 1978, Mahon wrote a letter of protest to [[Ladbrokes]], complaining of their "appalling taste" in opening a book on the successor to [[Pope Paul VI]].((citation needed|date=July 2020))

==Personal life==
Mahon married Veronica Robertshaw in 1941; the couple had no children. After his retirement, Mahon moved to live in [[Crosby, Merseyside|Crosby]], where he died in 1986, aged 72.((citation needed|date=July 2020))
