FWIW - I have challenged the refusal to release the info with an FOI request of my own - for all the good that it'll do.

Feel free to point out how it was a bad idea - too late - it's done!

Not entirely true and as one of "These people" its quite offensive.

If however you were to imply that they (most of the powers that be) either lie by ommission or never give the full picture....I could agree.

It's not a bad idea, it's a good idea, but I would have widened the question to criminal activity rather than just terrorism. Good work, let's see what they say.

You are a minister, mp or home office official ???? I stand by what I say until I see some evidence to the contrary.

Maggot: if you are a police officer you will (should) gather from here the issue is NOT the ordinary police offcier but the corrupt PC gong chasers that infest the police everywhere these days at higher levels plus those who warp everything to suit a personal agenda. i.e make things up as they go along.

Sweden is a prime example of police PC silliness gone wild and how they endanger the public with their lies and denials..

Not with police officers at all (although the ACPO set are pretty much as shabby as you can get), it is with the governing class (of all political denominations) who twist the truth or just plain lie to get the result they want.

chillax man :good:
