Go to Google.co.uk, enter "Graham Badman". Note the interesting message at the bottom of the page ( Read more... )

Er, not getting any differences between Google (either time) or Yahoo.

It's been removed now. Perhaps someone realised it was counter-productive?

The missing item has been restored and is third from bottom on the first page of the search I just performed.

Sorry, I'm too stupid (or antihistamine-afflicted) to spot it. And the chillingeffects.org link doesn't have any useful content (yet). Tell?

I thought it would be the fake Graham Badman blog, but I see that in the google.co.uk results.

It's changed - the fake blog wasn't in the listing earlier today.

I believe you, even without a screenshot :-)

I've closed the tabs now and can't be bothered to go back and look, but I think I saw that the not-google.co.uk results didn't include the phrase "(the fake)" in that particular result. Maybe someone wanted the search results forcibly updated?

DCSF's response is appalling on the face of it, though.
