Go In, Stay In, Tune In

Thomas Scott, of www.preparingforemergencies.co.uk fame, has now today's Guardian. Oh yes, he also made the PM program on BBC Radio 4 and the 6 O'Clock News on Radio 2. I bet the person who sent the original "cease and desist" email is either quietly kicking themself, or being vigourously booted by their superiors for bungling the whole matter and making the government look like a bunch of IT cretins. Along with the pleb who didn't bother to register the other domains. Typical of this government, for the sake of £40 or £50 spent on registering additional domains, an £8million campaign has been ridiculed, and rightly so.

Update 10:40 - No. 1 link on google for "preparing for emergencies" is the boingboing post linking to Thomas' parody site (thanks to Ionicus). The genuine site only manages to creep in at No. 8, whilst Thomas' site is No. 10. Come on folks, I'm sure we can get the parody to No. 1.
