Thursday:
Hurrah! for Sir Mr the Merciless who has been prompted into swift action to defend the Freedom of Information Act.
He stood up in the House of Commons yesterday and challenged Lord Blairimort over the bill introduced by a Conservatory backbencher that would make Parliament EXEMPT from answering DIFFICULT questions like "what did you spend your expenses on?"
Sir Menzies asked: "Do you support this shoddy bill. Yes or no?"
This is just the sort of thing that I was calling for yesterday! May I modestly suggest that I am an ELEPHANT OF INFLUENCE once again!
Lord Blairimort REFUSED to give a straight answer – no wonder we need a Freedom of Information Act!
"I am not going to express a view on this," he said.
Are you not A MEMBER of the House of Commons, Lord Blairimort?
Do you not have an INTEREST in whether you have to answer questions put to you or not?
Do you not have a VOTE on the issue in question? Aren't we ENTITLED to know how you intend to cast it?
Do you actually BELIEVE in the Act that your own government passed, or are you trying to get the Conservatories to water it down EVEN MORE for you by the BACK DOOR?
Here is Sir Mr the Merciless' OWN verdict on the Prime Monster's FAILURE TO ANSWER!
Only effective Freedom of Information will restore trust in our government after all the years of the Labour and their SPIN.
But in fact, instead of answering questions in the open, the questions the people WANT answered, the Labour government CONTINUES to employ underhand off-the-record methods to try and push its agenda.
Earlier in the week, policeperson Mr Peter Clarke warned that LEAKS and BRIEFINGS about ongoing TERRORISM cases damaged the police's investigations and might even put people's LIVES at risk!
Now, Liberal Democrat Mr Nick Clogg has produced a dossier of examples of leaks like this coming out of the GOVERNMENT! Stories that were given to the press but later turned out to be PREMATURE or INACCURATE!
Lord Blairimort rejected calls for an inquiry.
He just does NOT like answering questions, does he?
The Newsnight Show caught Lord Blairimort on camera the other day. "Told any more lies?" came a heckled question. "No, I'll leave that to someone else," was Lord Blairimort's laconic response.
Over to you, Mr Frown…
