Parliament has decided to give itself immunity from the Freedom of Information Act.
The reason given was that it would protect the privacy of individuals who write to MPs and Ministers but this is a crock of shit. The law already protects privacy of individuals – personally identifiable information has to be removed before being disclosed.
This country is rapidly decending into a police state – more and more laws are being passed to restrict our rights and freedoms and removing our right to privacy from the prying eyes of the state and then our political masters give themselves immunity from the only law that lets us see what they are doing with the power and responsibility that we give them.
Come the reveloution, all those MPs who supported this bill will be against the wall.
If there are any politicians reading, I am seriously p****d off with you. Please don’t expect me to intervene, save or fight for you, especially if somebody wants to string you up from a lampost, as refusal often offends.
