What the audit found
On 7 September 2026 those URLs were requested again — 1 answered with the surname absent, 2 answered. An HTTP success means the server answered. It does not establish that the campaign page survived.

- Neil Hudson — https://www.neilhudson.org.uk — Answered (HTTP 200).
- Jon Whitehouse — http://www.jonwhitehouse.org.uk — Answered (HTTP 200). The surname was not in the response body. That asks for review; it does not prove the site was repurposed.
