It appears that Welsh nationalists have launched an offensive on the source code of the Citizens Advice Bureau website.

Yes, the Sons of Glyndwr have been busy behind the scenes on the site's page which encourages citizens to E-mail your MP! Fax your MP! Let your voice be heard!. Here's a screengrab of part of said page:
All seems pretty normal to me

Well, that all looks pretty normal, but what about if you look at the source code for that unordered list of political parties?:


<ul>
      <li><a href="#fuckers"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif" size="3" color="#000080">Conservatives</font></a>
      <li><a href="#newtory"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif" size="3" color="#000080">Labour</font></a>
      <li><a href="#useless"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif" size="3" color="#000080">Liberal
        Democrats</font></a>
      <li><a href="#ochaye"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif" size="3" color="#000080">SNP</font></a>
      <li><a href="#voteforthese"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif" size="3" color="#000080">Plaid
        Cymru</font></a></li>


Oh dear, oh dear. So apparently Labour are the New Tories, who are themselves now relegated to "fuckers", while the useless Liberal Democrats can merely stand around listening to the SNP saying "ochaye". That only leaves one choice for the discerning voter: Plaid Cymru.

We suspect heads will roll at the CAB when the culprit is uncovered. He or she shouldn't be too hard to find: just look for the BOFH dressed as a Druid and reciting Under Milk Wood in Welsh to his sheep.

In the meantime, Reg readers should enjoy this outrage while they can. We don't think it'll be around for very long.

i don't even understand why calum even visits these dumb forums anymore what with void's site now maturing into what the MES once was, no offence at all meant towards lazygamer, i am actually a little amused by this, but i too am a little puzzled as to why it is 'for calum' to be honest!

[Pantso]

I'm confused. Why should Calum be interested in this?   :confused:   Imean, it's amusing but why is that addressed to Calum specifically?

:rolleyes:

Calum is interested in this(in theory) because:

1)He lives in the UK.
2)He seems interested in political stuff.

 

Well it's just that Calum usually has X political comment, and I don't know shit about the UK other than any hints that Calum gives, so I wanted to see if he has any insight into this.

mee too.

lazyg, don't take my word for it about how the 'united' kingdom is doing, i am sure i am a political radical not worthy of your trust in this regard!  

my general opinion of the welsh nationalists is that wales is too small to become a self sufficient nation in any hurry. their language is in severe decline and their climate and population are incredibly similar to the english in many areas. i support the welsh nationalists in principal, but i believe that unless they have the support of a welsh majority, that welsh independence should be put on the back burner for a while, unlike the northern ireland and scotland situations which should have been resolved years ago. the only reason england holds onto these areas is because it still wants to hold onto the last tatters of the "empire".
