If I'd requested the information, would I be getting as much stick????

No one is 'getting stick' for using the F.O.I. to find out the expenses of all H.B.C. councillors.
We'd never even know any information had been requested unless informed by the Labour councillors of Accy Web, especially as it appears it hasn't uncovered anything that can be used as as some sort of 'but they did it too' defence.
I very much doubt anyone would have requested the information relating to concillors expenses, if the voted for massively increased allowances hadn't made the headlines and caused such a big public outcry.
No allowances up by 45%.
No headlines.
No public outcry.
No requests using F.O.I.
No do-do-gate.
