Pilgrim Fathers would turn in their graves if they knew that vexatious exemptions were being applied by public authorities and HM Courts as a first option tool to gag Joe Public.

I attend a Court of Appeal test case hearing in London next week in an
attempt to save the FOIA 2000. Should I lose my Court of Appeal case, Freedom of
Information is gone for ever.

What next from this Coalition Government? Freedom of speech?

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the following report which makes very
disconcerting readings about wind turbine safety.

I call upon my MP to
request a public inquiry into the public safety issues related to wind turbines.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please find below the Devon County Council policy and procedure for investigating
allegations of fraud at the DCC.

I can state categorically that the DCC did
not follow their own Policy and Procedures ref my claims of fraud and theft of
public funds at the DCC.

Could you please write to the DCC Chief Executive Officer and ask him
why he did not follow their own policy and procedures for fraud.

I would ask them myself
but no doubt they would deem my request as vexatious.

With thanks

Pickles?

Dear Mr Bradshaw

I acknowledge and thank you for your letter dated 15th Jan 2016 along with
the Health and Safety Executive response from Dr Richard Judge, the new CEO of the HSE.

At best, he is being disingenuous and at worst, he is tinkering with the
truth. Firstly, it was three (3) turbines which collapsed in the South West
during 2013 not 2 as he claims.

Secondly, he claims re the WT which collapsed in Bradworthy, that the contractor “changed his quality processes ” which beggars belief.

The same contractor installed a new wind turbine on the same faulty concrete base
using the same anchor bolts. Some quality improvement, don’t you think?

Strikes me the HSE, who took 12 months to investigate these two collapsed wind turbines, and no doubt £50 or 60k for their troubles.

They also claim in their letter ,”we released the wind turbine reports to
individuals and journalists in response to FOIA requests”. It should not be
necessary to submit a FOIA request to gain such information from the HSE. All
three reports should be available at the HSE website.

As you are aware wind turbines are toppling over at an alarming rate nationwide, and if
they are not collapsing, they are loosing the wings or being struck by
lightning.

The comments from the new HSE CEO do not fill me with any confidence that
the wind turbine industry is safe, on the contrary.

I would now like my MP to ask the appropriate oversight authorities why wind turbines are being
installed in school playgrounds, next to houses offices, railways motorways
and A roads.

It is high time the HSE took a more proactive role in WT energy as opposed
to the Current Reactive Mode to disasters. Surely prevention is better than
cure.

I am not impressed with the new Dr Who at the HSE, and I was less impressed
with Rodger the Dodger Podger before him.

Its hardly surprising the Health and Safety Executive imposed a lifetime email ban against
me, is it Mr Bradshaw?

For your information action and files

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

Please see the following vexatious decision from the Information Commissioner’s Office and in particular, para 13 in which the ICO rely on the Dransfield Case GIA/3037/2011 to support their vexatious exemption.

https://ico.org.uk/media/action-weve-taken/decision-notices/2014/1020038/fs_50526275.pdf

Quite frankly, it sickens me to the stomach to have my name mentioned in the same sentence as the vile pervert Jimmy Saville.

As you are aware, I am attending the Court of Appeal at the end of this month to argue the legal definition of Vexatious in a test case, Dransfield v ICO ref C3/2013/1855.

Nothwithstanding the result or the outcome of the Court of Appeal Case, I call upon my MP to write to the Ministry of Justice to investigate the conduct of the ICO, who in my opinion are part of a wider conspiracy to cover up the government sex scandal(s) by the introduction of vexatious exemptions, which is a get out of jail free card for perverts and sex offenders……

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

I note the Climbing Centre tower is back in full use today despite operating in a legal void for the past 18 months owing to defective safety rails, no lightning protection and gas installation defects.

Shall we wait for the body bags before you take the necessary action.

Alan M Dransfield

Alan Dransfield is due before the Court of Appeal on the 27th or 28th of this month (to be confirmed) soley to argue the definition and interpretation of section 14(1) vexatious, which is related to Dransfield’s FOIA request for technical data on Exeter Chiefs pedestrian bridge, which has been previously denied under section 14(1) Vexatious.

The case ref is C3/2013/1855 Dransfield v ICO and Devon County Council.

The FOIA celebrates its 10th Birthday next month and has operated for the last decade without any clear legal definition of section 14(1) vexatious.

For the first time Dransfield will represented in court by pro bono legal advisers.

Dransfield is very excited at the prospect of appearing in a test case before the Court of Appeal and could actually be the saviour of the FOIA, because if he loses his case, he fears Joe Public will be gagged for ever and prevented from asking questions of public authorities. He also claims his FOIA request is not vexatious owing to the health and safety ramifications of the health and safety defects on the bridge and stadium.
