A Welsh council came under fire yesterday after it was caught sourcing dodgy facts from Wikipedia to enforce the Tory bedroom tax.

Vale of Glamorgan Council has sent letters quoting the online encyclopaedia — that can be edited by any internet user — to at least two tenants hit by the Con-Dem government’s housing benefit cut.

Disabled dad Guy Watts wrote to the council last month to tell them his home’s “spare room” was too small to be used as a bedroom.
