Tories Fudge Wikipedia

The Tories are fudging wikipedia for their own gain. Here is the evidence.



I was reading the BBC News website and I came across this story.

The story is all about this website that you can use to look up organisations that are trying to bias the online open source encylopedia, wikipedia.

I decided to look up the Conservative Party. To look at how the Conservative Party has tried to fudge wikipedia, please click here.

The most interesting change seemed to be this. On the 27th October 2004, Conservative Central Office tried to cover up Oliver Letwin's financial gaff over admitting Tory plans for £20 billion cuts in public services.

If Conservative Central Office are trying to cover up this? What else is David Cameron's Conservatives trying to cover up?

Oliver Letwin

Lol - funny stuff!


See they've changed Ann Widdecombe's a fair bit too.


But the question is, how much has Labour changed? Or Downing Street even? Did Brown's cronies vandalise Blair's entry to get him out quicker?! I'm sure someone will find out soon.

Without wanting to poke a stick into an ant hill (and noting in passing that the story above was more than a year before David Cameron became Conservative Leader), do Labour bloggers really want a huge debate on media manipulation after a decade of Brown-Blair and immediately after Alistair Campbell published his autobiography?


If it was me, I'd be leaving the skeletons firmly in the cupboard.

Not bothered really, anything that happened under Blair and Campbell has already been out in the open.

Campbell's censorship of his own diaries implies that there is still a lot hidden.

Incidentally, in reply to your question, the Independent yesterday featured the one you mentioned and:

>The Labour Party and careerist MPs

An anonymous surfer at the Labour Party's headquarters removed a section about Labour students referring to "careerist MPs", and criticisms that the party's student arm was no longer radical.

Does anyone know anyone who has decided who to vote for on the basis of a wikipedia entry?
