UK Parliament Domain Without Registrar
asobala writes "According to this story at The Register, the UK parliament is using the domain www.parliament.uk. It's a top-level domain because it was registered before August 1996, before Nominet handled .uk domains. But since there is no registrar, they can't prove that they own it."
Blimey!

Innocent until proven guilty? You do realize that is a foreign idea to most British and other Europeans, don't you?

My understanding is that, in the UK, people are guilty until proven innocent. If that's true, then Margret Thatcher stole the domain england.uk! I demand it back.
Um, you might want to go their before you assume that that's a government site.

actually in england, i believe it's guilty until proven innocent
wait, then that means government becomes GOD over the people. its no longer a parliment for the people, but a parliment for itself...and they just tax the people to death. (um..glad to be an american..)
