No proof as yet, I've only just submitted them, but the good news is that FOI requests have a legal basis, as the 10 year legal battle surrounding Prince Charles' letters have shown...

Are the ones you submitted in 2014 proof yet?

Nope, but pursuing them through the legal system may bear fruit...

There are certainly elements of the bakery industry who have done both of the above.

Should be easy to track down, just look for kids with a yeast infection.

So Prince Charles' black spider memos are to be released shortly:

we'll have to see if all the hype is justified

Well, [url= https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/427301/No10_Scanned_Letters.pdf ]here they are[/url]

Only read the 1st one so far, but it seems the Queen's Armies may be a family business...

may even go some way to answering this:

b) Does this mean that Tony Blair isn't the only one to blame for the Iraq War?

Go on then JHJ, what do you reckon

I've sat and read a few of them now, and I can only say that my respect for the bloke has gone up

I don't know if you were expecting to find him demanding this and that, but everything I have read so far has been humble and very well intentioned.

About as good as yours, JHJ.

Well I never...

Revealed: Prince Charles has received confidential cabinet papers for decades [/url]

The heir to the throne, who has previously been criticised for โ€œmeddlingโ€ in politics, is sent all cabinet memoranda, alongside the Queen and ministers in charge of departments, including secret proposals for new legislation and other discussion documents that have only been released to the public after 30 years.

The Cabinet Office fought for three years to block the release of the document, which reveals how Charles is on the โ€œstandard circulationโ€ list for cabinet memoranda.

โ€œThe documents of the cabinet and ministerial committees are issued primarily to the sovereign, the Prince of Wales, and ministers ... The need for secrecy calls for special care in circulation and handling.โ€

It adds: โ€œThe standard circulation for cabinet memoranda includes the Queen, the Prince of Wales, all members of the cabinet, any other ministers in charge of departments, the attorney general and the chief whip ... Ministers of state and junior minister do not normally receive memoranda.โ€

โ€œThe disclosure of cabinet papers to Prince Charles is quite extraordinary,โ€ said Graham Smith, Republicโ€™s chief executive. โ€œNot only because they would contain highly classified information, but because it gives him considerable advantage in pressing his own agenda when lobbying ministers. He is essentially a minister not attending cabinet. He gets the paperwork and has private meetings with ministers about policy.โ€

A senior MP called for a parliamentary inquiry into the arrangement, which he said made Charles Britainโ€™s โ€œbest informed lobbyistโ€. It also prompted speculation that the prince uses the flow of information to help him intervene with ministers on new policy proposals before parliament or the public are aware of their existence.

What would you expect in a democracy where the Cabinet is the executive committee of Her Majesty's Privy Council?

How much input does the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces have on Foreign Policy?

I suppose if you have the worlds largest network of offshore tax havens, you need plenty of armies to protect your investments...

Of course, the offshoot is you also have plenty of arms dealing ventures for offshore investors to make a pretty penny on.

So where does the 5 Eyes surveillance network fit into all of this?
