How MP’s website gave a whole new meaning to the term ‘True Blue’ Matthew James News Editor matthew@the-resident.co.uk

Visitors to the Horsham MP’s website got more than they bargained for – German porn.

eroticism or filth depending on your point of view. Mr Maude’s office was unable to say how long the unintended link was active before being removed when his staff were made aware of the issue, but we understand it was several days at least. He told The Resident: “I hesitate to describe last week’s events as a cock-up, but things like this do happen when it comes to websites. Companies, individuals and organisations can all be affected. “The most important thing to remember is that the campaign for a new hospital for local NHS patients remains as strong as ever. “Indeed we were in the process of organising a more accessible website or even Facebook page when all of this occurred. “We will press ahead with that and those interested in the progress of the campaign will soon be able to access lots of useful information.”
