They are all as bad as each other. Both the US and the UK need to boot out every politician, every senior civil servant, and start again.

When will people stop quoting Wikipedia as fact?
Here's another good entry on corronation street actors, who'd have thought
Gregson, once on a night out with the actors who play Bill Webster, Kev Webster, Ashley Peacock, Eddie Windass and Dev Allahan reportedly took 11 blondes back to his hotel room. Unfortunately, according to Jimmi Harkishin, who plays Dev, Gregson suffered from an unfortunate bout of impotence. Gregson denies this strongly but the general consensus is that the girls ended up with Ian Reddington and William Roache (Vernon and Ken respectively)
Wikipedia = somewhere between an encyclopedia and news of the world

But I agree. If Cameron was correct, the facts will come out whatever wiki says.

Just shows that you really shouldn't take Wiki as gospel as it's got a lot in common with CUK, drivel posted by chimps.

So the tories have learned something from new labour - how to do cheap tricks. Now they need to learn how not to get caught. Idiots.

Originally posted by crimdon View PostThe story was exposed in the Evening Standard after someone noticed that the IP address used to change the entry 194.203.158.97 was that of Conservative Central office in London.
Once the IP address was exposed the Conservatives admitted that it had been a party worker.
A spokesman said last night: "This was an over-eager, highly skilled IT member of staff on work experience, called AndyW, putting right an incorrect entry on Wikipedia... they cannot understand what all the fuss is about."
The mystery remains over why the Tory party hack changed Titian's age to 82 instead of the 86 figure that Cameron used. Rumours that he did not have enough fingers and thumbs to help with the arithmetic are unfounded.
Downing Street has offered no further comment on the matter. At the time of going to press, AndyW could not be contacted as it had gone 16:30 and his mum was back from work so he had to log off the computer.

So the tories have learned something from new labour - how to do cheap tricks. Now they need to learn how not to get caught. Idiots.
