[access-uk] The use of accessibility guideline buttons on web-pages. Any thoughts?

Here's a newly relaunched site apparently partly aimed at blind and VI
users: http://www.tnf.org.uk
They claim to be CSS compliant but have 25 CSS errors, they claim to
be valid xhtml but it has 12 errors, and they claim to be WAI
accessible but Sortsite reports that for accessibility they are 81%
WORSE than the average page on the internet, with 15 issues making it
difficult for blind users, 9 of them serious.
As someone who works very hard to ensure the sites I build ARE
accessible, I find this random splurging of unwarranted badges to be
annoying from a developers point of view, but also negating the whole
point of having any sort of accessibility targets.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this page? Does it work well with
your screenreader?
What do you feel about buttons which claim accessibility when the site
is not to that standard?
