Re: Secret Troughs!
This whole sheenanigans is a complete and utter disgrace, reminiscent of East European communist states in the days of the Cold War.
The Tory MP who was behind this move claimed that it was to protect confidential information on constituents contained in MPs' correspondence from being revealed but there are already exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act as it stands to cover this. When it comes down to it, those who rule us simply don't want us to see the extent of their self-serving greed.
The fact that both the Labour and Tory frontbenches colluded to ensure that this exemption was passed shows that this greed extends to the very top in British politics.
And now that MPs have put themselves above the law on this issue, what's the betting that they'll do the same on other issues too?
