South Wales Evening Post - 23 December 2006
Shocked visitors logging on to Swansea's Liberal Democrat website found links to a gay dating site and hardcore porn.
The site usually contains information about Swansea and Gower's Liberal Democrat councillors and activists. However, in recent days the site has changed and includes a search for adult websites.
Clicking on the link brings up a list of hardcore sites, including one advertising porn movies online and another offering "casual dating and sex".
Visitors to the site have reported it to the Ombudsman.
However, there was a perfectly innocent explanation according to Liberal Democrats in the city.
Assembly Member and Cwmbwrla councillor Peter May said: "We are in the process of changing our website and we haven't renewed the subscription for the site address. So the owners have put a search engine on there instead and obviously people can look up what they want on a search engine.
"We are redesigning our site and there will be a couple of weeks when we do not have any web address available.
"We will renew the subscription for this site and will be directing visitors to the new site through it."
