The less we know the better for them
Have you seen this?

The government are restricting access to information that we, the public, have a right to know about. A new report has found that there's a secretive government team who can obstruct Freedom of Information requests from journalists. It’s a threat to the ability for us all to hold politicians to account.
This murky team's existence was exposed by the independent global media organisation OpenDemocracy. Media giants across the political spectrum have condemned the blocking of FOI requests. And a former Conservative minister has demanded the government explain itself. What’s missing is a huge public outcry. That's where we come in.
Imagine if tens of thousands of us came together to tell the government to shut down this controversial team - called the "clearing house". The public outcry will add to the pressure on the government and could be the thing which stops them blocking requests for information.
