Fake charities on The Today Programme

Daniel Hannan was on the Today Programme just now discussing EU funding of charities. He didn't mention fakecharities.org by name, but I think it's fair to say that our efforts may have had an effect on the news agenda.

I'll try to post a link to some audio later on.

It's reassuring that we are able to influence and make a difference on the blogosphere!

I wonder what has happened to the Fake Charities website - it seems to be down, or the link you have doesn't work.

The fake charities site has been down for a couple of days now, as has LPUK.org, it looks like they are both hosted on the same server and it's having database problems.

If you know the people responsible you may want to give them a swift kick!

(other than the technical problems though: good work!)
