I'd love to know where I am siding with the authority, I have no knowledge of the subject and if I am honest I have enough things to do at work that I haven't got the time to analyse the possible failings of another authority but given I am not towing your line I am obviously in the wrong and have no valid opinion!! Yes your Hillsborough analogy was tasteless and I stand by that, particularly as someone who knows several survivors and a couple of the families of the 96. At this precise moment in time I am seriously considering unsubscribing from the list as these kind of personal crusades are not what the list is about.

Lee made a good point about it not being an FoI site, which I accept. As for the reference to Hillsborough, I feel it was justified. http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/9623861.Letter_of_apology_will_be_placed_o n_reader_s_mum_s_grave/ Given the Council's introduction of the above illegal 4 week delay on assigning care packages, done to save money, and the death of the lady concerned, we have a similar situation, although obviously not on the same levels of seriousness or magnitude - which I did say in the relevant post. For the family of this lady (and possibly others yet to be uncovered) and given the council's ensuing denials, obfuscation, minimisation, removal to another department and failure to make the person responsible accountable, then the rapid removal of the illegal delaying policy - all backed by a complete lockdown on responding to FoI requests, I'd say contributor Lee is way out of order in accusing ME of being "tasteless". In fact I'm worried that should his sympathies still be lying with this ruthless organisation and with the FoI people in situ, bending to its will and continuing to prop it up, then he needs to have a sit down and a hard think: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/wbc_dass_4_week_delay_investigat ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All archives of messages are stored permanently and are available to the world wide web community at large at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/data-protection.html If you wish to leave this list please send the command leave data-protection to [log in to unmask] All user commands can be found at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/commandref.htm Any queries about sending or receiving messages please send to the list owner [log in to unmask] Full help Desk - please email [log in to unmask] describing your needs To receive these emails in HTML format send the command: SET data-protection HTML to [log in to unmask] (all commands go to [log in to unmask] not the list please) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ******************** This e-mail contains information intended for the addressee only.
