    Google blacklists websites run by the family of Grant Shapps.
    (via a NFitz retweet)
    The really interesting bit of that story is right at the end:

    Shapps's spokesman previously said: "Grant Shapps derives no income, dividends, or other income from this business, which is run by his wife, Belinda, with a registered office in Pinner in north-west London. He is quite simply not involved in this business.

    "Mrs Shapps runs her own online business, uses freelancers, moderators and programmers to post on forums, generate products and maintain a help desk."

    [one paragraph omitted ]

    Belinda Shapps declined to comment and directed all questions to the head of the Tory party press office.

    So the Tory minister has no involvement with his wife's business, yet she refers questions about it to "the head of the Tory party press office"? Are they moonlighting for this company of hers? One of those freelancers she uses, perhaps?

    Maybe the Tory press office just likes answering questions on behalf of other people. "Excuse me sir, have you been drinking before driving this car?" "Ask the Tory press office, constable." "Doctor, is there any cure?" "The Tory press office will tell you, I'm off to the golf club." "Mum, what's for dinner?" "Give the Tory press office a ring, they'll let you know."
