The Sunday Telegraph has been using the Freedom of Information Act to dig for dirt on David Cameron. They recently asked the Treasury for any information from Cameron’s days as a Special Advisor to Norman Lamont, but were refused on the grounds of “the effect disclosure would have on the individual”.
I’ve been wracking my brains wondering what this could mean and all I can
hear is the sound of skeletons rattling in closets.
One man who surely must know is (Lord) Terry Burns, who as Permanent
Secretary of the Treasury during Cameron’s appointment, would have been
privy to any confessions Dave made about him and his good friend Charlie.
Terry lives a frightfully busy life as a crossbench Peer and Banker. I’m sure he would love to tell us more about Cameron’s salad days and can be reached on terry.burns@abbeynational.co.uk to answer questions such as:
1. How much dirt do you have on David Cameron?
2. Should he now be sweating like a pig on heat?
3. Do you know what is a pink pussy?

He shagged girls and sniffed coke.
Which is de rigeur for spin merchants innit - Draper et al.
If on the other hand he wanted to be in the Foreign Office or MI6 his heterosexuality might have ruled him out.

Except that FoI was never intended to reveal confidential information about individuals whether as employees, or as tax-payers, benefit claimants, passport applicants etc.
To reveal such stuff would be a breach of the Data Protection Act, which was designed to prevent confidential information about individuals being given out willy nilly.
Otherwise you could use the FoI to access my tax returns, my CICA claim, my medical records. what right do you have to do that?
