Library closes book on BNP website

Technical hitch or possible sabotage?
Boston's BNP councillor David Owens has come across a problem for people wanting to access the BNP website and view its content from Boston library.
"This was reported to me last week and indeed to the library authorities at Lincolnshire County Council," he told Boston Eye.
"The problem appears to occur when after viewing the main page, you attempt to access any of the article pages, in other words, you get a taster of the content but cannot view or read the detail.
"Upon initial investigation the problem is NOT a universal block due to inappropriate content, that can be used quite correctly to prevent access to the obvious unsavoury sites on the internet, but seems to be a subtle and quite 'innocent' issue that can be ushered away as a technical problem.
"I have officially asked that this matter be resolved as a matter of urgency, as quite clearly this is an important time for us for a number of reasons, not least because people without home access to the internet may very well wish to find out more about us using the free internet facilities available to all in their library."
Councillor Owens is asking whether this is isolated just to Boston or whether it is countywide or even national.
"It is important that people have access to information in the run up to election and this could be seen as a sneaky back door method to prevent that," he says.
"I truly hope I am wrong!"
Yesterday morning we asked Lincolnshire County Council for a comment ..... but none was forthcoming.
