"The website set up to smear Tory politicians about their health, family and sex lives was registered to the House of Commons... A bogus applicant using the name “Ollie Cromwell” paid £8.99 to set up The Red Rag as a campaign blog. The buyer had to provide only a name, address, telephone number and e-mail to create the site on November 4 last year. The address given was the House of Commons, "
Oddly the Whois report on the registrant "Ollie Cromwell" reports that "The registrant is a non-trading individual who has opted to have their address omitted from the WHOIS service."
How curious, I wonder who the MP or other security cleared person was. I wonder if they claimed the registration fees back on expenses...

I work with a film company and we've just found some extremely ironic footage of Jack Straw on the cutting room floor. It's currently being edited but I think it would be perfect for your readers. Is there an email address that I can use to send it to you?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
