Downing Street under cyber-siege?

. When it is not tragic it is farcical, today's Times reports that Downing Street is closing down comments on official videos it puts on You Tube. Apparently, this is due to the moderating of 'offensive comments' being too 'arduous'. A No10 spokeswomen is quoted as saying;

"In terms of allowing people to comment online, we need to adhere to the Civil Service code: no content on the website can be party-political. We would need to monitor and moderate all comments online."

Meanwhile, the petition on the official Downing Street site asking for Brown to resign has reached over 24,000 signatures. Seems that there really no place to hide for the government, not even in the depths of cyberspace....
