DUP Wikipedia page hacked by prankster to show Nazi party information – with Adolf Hitler as leader – Mirror.co.uk
Google searches for the DUP will have gone through the roof today after speculation that Theresa May will form a coalition government with the party - but some people were probably shocked by what they discovered.
The Tories lost control of the Commons in yesterday's general election when they failed to win the 326 seats needed to form a majority.
It is thought they will now look to enter a coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party ( DUP ) to push them over the threshold and allow them to form a government.
But some people aren't a fan of the DUP, who oppose abortion and support Brexit .
This dislike has resulted in their Wikipedia page being hacked by a prankster - and replaced with information about the Nazi party.
A screengrab of their Wikipedia page shows Adolf Hitler listed as leader and the name changed from Democratic Union Party to 'Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party' - the official name of the Nazis.
It also lists the deputy leader as Nigel Farage, the former UKIP leader who campaigned for Brexit.
The headquarters are down as an address in Berlin, 'ethnic cleanse county' and under 'ideologies' somebody added "Nazisism".
Anyone who googled the DUP earlier on would have got a bit of a shock.
But the page seems to have returned to normal now and lists Arlene Foster as leader, along with accurate information.
