While the British government puts huge amounts of pressure on ISPs to clamp down on file-sharers, it is doing some pirating of its very own. It seems that Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s own website is in serious breach of copyright, as it is based on a ripped-off Wordpress theme.

After the tea party they didn't have enough money left to let a professional design the website.

No reason for them to plain steal the design though, it requires a conscious effort...

If they just had credited wordpress it would probably be a less of a big deal.
