Â£100,000 of tax payers money for a website! You can get an idea of how this guy has brought the economy to its knees!

http://antbag.com/networker-theme-for-wordpress/ the theme it was based upon.. you can see it in the style sheet referencing – it makes sense to use word press as it’s a simple to use cms.. but it wouldn’t of done any harm admitting it, Gordon Brown could of even used it as positive spin.. Number Ten Embraces open source publishing platform.. etc etc.

Alias Â£100k for it well that was just some web company “having a laugh”.. u will be surprised how many sites use wordpress as a base and remove the copyright.. bad practice but it seems to pay many people bills.

There’s no need to go too far to find out that copywriting was breached.

Just take a look at the theme stylesheet.
