Freedom of Information

a day which will forever live in the memory as the day when members of parliament finally decided to confirm that we do not live in a true democracy. That day was Friday when MP decided to vote themselves exemption from the Freedom of Information Act.Our own MP, Ben Bradshaw, has stated in the past that he does not want to be another Terry. Now we know why. If I had asked him personally about the War in Iraq or the Exeter Unitary bid then I and he would have been bound by parliamentary privilege not to disclose any correspondence, effectively silenced. However, thanks to the good old Echo I have been able to ask questions which he has declined to answer, probably because he would have been embarrassed by the response he would have had to give. So come on Ben give us an answer through the Echo, was Exeter on the original list, when will you support the demand for the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq, if its not safe for Harry then what have we being doing for the last four years, and share with us your thoughts on an incinerator in Exeter burning waste from various parts of Devon. Come on give us some answers or are you as frit as I think you are. Freedom of Information, Bah Humbug.
