A few months ago the English Passport site (owned by a limited company with two Uncles as directors) published an article by John Redwood MP. The version according to Uncles was somewhat different to to the original and subsequently the Uncles version was changed.
The latest example of the technique is to be found here:

Consider the penultimate paragraph:
SCOT CRAIG MACKINLAY ENDORSED BY DAVID CAMERON FOR THE KENT POLICE COMMISSIONER ELECTION
Scot Craig MacKinlay endorsed by David Cameron for the Kent Police Commissioner Election
Craig MacKinlay, Scottish Conservative candidate for Kent Police and Crime Commissioner, has welcomed the Prime Minister’s initiative to tackle the welfare gap.
Following the Prime Minister’s speech yesterday at Bluewater Shopping Centre in Dartford, Craig MacKinlay commented: “Those living long-term within the welfare system have been encouraged to accept a series of expectations: that the state will look after you even if you don’t put anything in: a something-for-nothing culture. It undermines their own dignity and, for the rest of us, who do pay into the welfare system, weekly, monthly, it is hard to take.”
“A single parent living outside London, with four children, renting a house on housing benefit can claim almost £25,000 a year. That is more than the average take-home pay of a farm worker and a nursery nurse put together. That sends out all the wrong signals.”
He continued: “We must help those who are out of work back into work and playing their part in our community to make it a better place for all of us to live.”
“The Scottish Conservative approach is twofold: to treat poverty at its source, whether it is a result of debt, family breakdown, educational failure or addiction; and to recognise that in the end the only thing that beats poverty long term is work.”
“If we can solve this problem,” Craig MacKinlay concluded, “I believe that we’ll have a better, safer and fairer society.”

Note how the original article has gained an addition of the word 'Scottish' in the penultimate paragraph. Now I wonder why?
