Censored by the state

Gareth has been forced by the Scottish Parliament to remove a page on his website in which he had a spoof Holyrood homepage with a story saying that MSP's had walked out of Holyrood as a show of solidarity until England got its own parliament.

Lucky for us but unlucky for the architects of state censorship, Google still has a cached version of the page and some of us have a screenshot of the page.

So, unlucky Alison Howitt. You may have forced Gareth to remove the original but it hasn't disappeared and your unsuccessful attempt at state censorship will only make myself and others all the more determined to make sure this story spreads as far around the world as possible.

To think the Dalai Llama held the Scottish government up as a shining example of democracy.
