Comedy hack using a proxy to swap words for their opposite on the Conservatives.com website

When: ≤ Apr 2010

Archived screenshot of Conversatives — Archived screenshot. The site itself is gone; this is the evidence.

A full mirror of conservatives.com with its copy systematically mangled: "News" became "Old old news", the donate button read "GET TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS — £1 a day from now until the General Election", "Join us" became "Leave the Party" / "LEAVE US — Help us turn Blighty around", the front bench was "The Shadowy Cabinet", and policy areas included "Dirtying up Politics", "Clowning", "Jobs and Skiving" and "National Insecurity". Newsletter signup: "Get the latest Conversative old news sent indirect to you". Captures span the 2010 general election period through 2012.
