Cabinet raps student prank

A student told how he was ordered to take down a spoof website which pokes fun at the Government's Preparing For Emergencies booklet.

Thomas Scott claims he received a "firmly worded" email from the Cabinet Office just 12 hours after he launched his bogus website asking him to take it down.

The fake website http://www.preparingforemergencies.co.uk bears an uncanny resemblance to the real thing but instead of coming from HM Government, comes from HM Department of Vague Paranoia.
