    If this is the best that thug brown's 'friends' can do then I can see why they are friends of gorgon.

    Labour Hackers

    up to their little tricks, I bet the conservatives used a Labour developer to make the site, such irony.

    So, are Labour sites more secure?

    Or was this just an anti-Tory exercise?
