      New post on my personal blog: how do we enforce our #FOI rights if the regulator (and the courts) give them no priority?https://informationrightsandwrongs.com/2018/07/26/foi-needs-a-strong-regulator/ …

      Pace my conversation with @tim2040 yesterday, I agree this is a serious problem. Might I suggest a conflab with folks like @CampaignFoI & other interested parties, and - if deemed worthwhile - a strategic/campaigning approach to the problem.

      #FOI / #transparency is as essential to all our work as it has ever been & I think we need to bottom out exactly what's going on *and why* (the effects are pretty evident) in order to determine a way forward. Getting more & more pissed off ain't gonna get us/others what's needed.

      The problem is that enforcing FOI involves taking on the Cabinet Office and similar big government departments, which ICO has never had the stomach for. It’s not complicated - it’s cowardice.

      Presumably the ICO's decision not to use its enforcement powers is itself judicially reviewable?

      It must be, but I think it would be tremendously difficult to bring.

      That a thing is difficult is simply what it is. If it is the(/a) correct approach, that can/will deliver the desired result, then the level of difficulty must be attacked as any other obstacle - with clear thinking, creativity and persistence.

      We're working on documenting the problem with a view to further action as we speak. Happy to discuss this with interested parties in the near future.
