As Iain has noted the possible dodgy editing of video on the Downing Street website it's also worth noting the dodgy transcripts that are there too. The more perceptive of you will have noticed on Monday that I wrote that Brown said in his press conference that we didn't want to go back to the 90's (ergo Tories) with tax cuts because it causes "economic stability".
That is what he said you see, but, "No" says, the Downing Street website. What he said was "it causes economic instability". This is simply not true. It is a lie. It is an untruth. He did not say that at all. Now some might say he meant to say that, but that doesn't change what he actually said. Time for a comment about "he who controls history" and all that jazz I think!

What's called a psychological slip, when the truth slips out although the speaker had intended to lie.
Under the Hansard rules of editing, obvious mistakes by the speaker are corrected. This applies to Gordon Brown just as it does to anyone else. Only an idiot would seek to make this into an Orwellian coverup.
Bet Hansard editors are bloody glad the fat fool Prescott has finally been (expensively) pensioned off then aren't they?
Only an idiot would seek to make this into an Orwellian coverup.
Only an idiot would not spot opinionated sarcasm when it was slapping him around the head like a wet haddock.
