The final smokescreen
Article Abstract:
Some UK politicians suggest complete freedom of information would hamper the work of government, yet a more open stance may permit public discussion and result in better policy making. Others fear publicizing policy advice may compromise the work of civil servants. Legislation, in the UK, prevents public access to information held by the National Health Service, quangos, corporations and the government. Those in authority are able to make a decision on what material is released to the general public. A Freedom of Information Act would make all material accessible.

Chesterton's final solution
Article Abstract:
It is possible to argue that novelist G.K. Chesterton really was an anti-Semite, as he claimed to be. He condemned the oppression of the Jews in Nazi Germany, but in fact hated Jews and believed that they should be forced out of the UK. His anti-Semitism was set out in considerable detail in his writings. This goes against the views of his apologists, who argue that he could not have been anti-Semitic because he was a Zionist.
