Drunken Thatcher Fans Partly to Blame

The Cabinet Office has pledged urgent inquiries into the vandalism of the Wikipedia page on the Hillsborough disaster. Various edits of a more or less Kelvin McKenzie calibre were made from computers in Whitehall; and while it is of course reassuring to find that someone in the Government can cope with the internet, it is also arguable that their skills might benefit from a more constructive outlet. Among the departments involved were the Treasury, the Office of the Solicitor General, and the Department for Cultchah, Murdoch and England Crash Out. Despite the level of compassion and social competence on display, given the level of IT competence required it is not thought likely that the relevant ministers were personally responsible for the changes.
