        In response to FOI request asking for any research on Syria which makes reference to Bellingcat, the FCO says it "can neither confirm or deny" the info exists and that "to give statement of reasons for this would involve the disclosure of info which would itself be exempt info."pic.twitter.com/TODRMOmuTS

        In response to FOI, the FCO says it "does not hold information" about any "financial agreements" between Bellingcat and Open Information Partnership (OIP). 1 of OIP's 4 "partners" is Bellingcat. 1 of its "members" is NATO Strategic Comms. The FCO is the sole funder of the OIP.pic.twitter.com/ianebkaSeO

        UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) also says it "neither confirms nor denies whether it holds any" Defence Intelligence Syria-related documents which reference Bellingcat. No reason given becoz "this would involve disclosure of information which would itself be exempt information".pic.twitter.com/LhOYfHFOyV

        Doesn't Bellingcat get funded by the NED?

        Guessing some dancing on the head of a pin re the profound difference between "funding" and "payment" will be forthcoming.
