Dear Ms Denham, Information Commissioner

Please see the following article from the Scottish Information Commissioner’s Office who,
it would appear, has her finger on the pulse and is holding Scottish
ministers to account. That cannot be said about the English Information
Commissioner, who appears to have a very cosy little relationship with MPs
and Judges and rogue public authorities

I would imagine something
similar to this will land on your desk sooner rather than later. I do hope you
don’t think this letter is too vexatious or mainfestly unreasonable.

Yours

Alan M Dransfield

Dear Mr Howson

Further to my earlier email ref PFI irregularities and
anomalies at your Exeter PFI Schools, it would appear there are which
confirms Carillion are demolishing a brand new PFI School in Middlesborough.

If my memory serves me correctly in my old age, Mowlem built
the 6 PFI schools in Exeter as well.

May I suggest/recommend that ALL PFI schools built by Mowlem
(now Carilion) should be subjected to a H&S audit.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

Please see the following link which refers to a new PFI
school in Middlesborough being demolished because it wasn’t fit for purpose. Owing
to the fact it was the same contractor who built the 6 PFI schools in Exeter,
do you not agree with me that a full Health and Safety audit should be conducted at the
Exeter Schools.

I do hope you don’t think this letter is too vexatious.

Yours in disgust

Devon County Council have awarded a £20 million, 5 year
contract to Sodexco for the maintenance contract of their 6 PFI schools.
However, 3 of these PFI schools are now Academy schools; hence they get direct
funding from Central Government.

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

According to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer we are one trillion pounds in debt. I think you will find it
is £1.5 trillion because the PFI/PPP contracts Plus a multi
Million Pound repair bill for schools which collapsed in the breeze)

No doubt the Shadow
Chancellor will correct him of this minor arithmetic error soon
enough. I also note with a wry smile an additional 17% is being given to the
DFID Mafia for overseas aid.

With thanks

Dear Mr Bailey, ICO Solicitor

Please advise me how many
people from the UK ICO attended this convention. According to these press
releases, the FOIA needs strengthening across Europe. I don’t subscribe to this
argument; there is nothing wrong with the UK FOIA only the people who are
running it, who are dishonest and willfully blind.

With thanks
