Home Office website links to porn

The Home Office has removed a link from its website after being alerted by the BBC that it linked to what appeared to be a Japanese pornography site. Officials said they were hoping nobody would notice, but the eagle eyed Mike has left them panting with exasperation.

The link was on a page providing information about the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism. Nobody is quite sure how counters can be terrorists, which leaves half the department at a loose end.

A link - that was supposed to go to a body called the Technical Advisory Board - actually went to a porn site. Officials said "The internet was made for porn".

A Home Office spokeswoman said there would be an investigation into the matter.
