Oh look – the Home Office has put 17 movies on YouTube . The most popular one is “drugs raid” (39,000 views, three stars).

Sir Bonar writes It might be helpful, in response to recent regrettable and ill-informed comment in some of the less reputable parts of the news media, if I were to clarify the status and purpose of our child protection database ContactPoint.

The latest Diebold gaffe has leaked the results of the 2008 US Presidential elections early, says Onion TV.
