Carshalton and Wallington Labour Party has lost a case over the suttonlibdems.org.uk domain name, which it had registered.
Gerry Jerome from Sutton Liberal Democrats took the case through Nominet’s Dispute Resolution Service, which concluded that Labour’s action in registering the domain name and using it to urge people to vote Labour amounted to an “abusive registration”.
Unless Labour appear by 10 October, the domain name will be handed over to Sutton Liberal Democrats.
(Gerry is happy to advise any other local parties in similar situations; just let me know.)

Congratulations. Suttonlibdemwatch would be more in the spirit of these things. Unlike hacking a virtually unused redundant Labour site and then pretending this was disloyal to the party leadership.
By the way, did this silliness in Sutton tip the balance in favour of Labour and against Lib Dems? Could it have done so according to any reasonable observer?
The silliness in Rochdale is small beer compared to all the rest of what’s going on. Very sordid indeed.
As usual, Chris Paul’s robotic response makes no sense to anyone except himself.
MBoy: I think he’s admitting that it was Labour who tried spinning to the Express the wholly false story that the Miliband photo on the Rochdale Labour website wasn’t put up by Labour but was the result of someone else hacking in to their site. I mean, if it wasn’t Labour that tried to plant this false story, which the Express didn’t run, how would Chris know about it? (I know about it because the Express asked us about it.)

This claim has been reported by the local press in Richdale:

Has anyone ever seen Chris Paul and Grant Shapps together? Cold they be related = or could that infamous 1234 password have returned again?
CCF: ah, so it was. Google Alerts had missed that story. Must be a conspiracy 🙂
Good on them for going to Nominet. Proof that the system can work.
