If it all hushes down and we begin to get on with our daily lives, with the program still intact, perhaps you'll be able to make an information request. For a fee of course, oh hang on, isn't that how it already works?

You've got more faith in the freedom of information than sadly I! Perhaps information will randomly go missing. Just like the spurious claim that the CCTV network was down on the London underground on 7/7 (really??)

1. Never again be governed for years by a prime minister with no popular mandate. (Isn't that rather ironically exactly what we got!)

3. They'll expand on the freedom of information act.

7. They'll protect whistleblowers.

8. The right to data act, the public will have the right to appeal if public bodies refuse requests for data collected by the government.



Re: missing CCTV, aren't you thinking of the death of Jean Charles de Menezes two weeks after 7/7?
