I love waking up to the sound of openDemocracy contributors in the morning. Gisela Stuart and John Palmer were on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning, continuing the debate they started on oD over the European Union and democracy.
Listen here. It's a streamed audio file - you get a nice report first, followed by Stuart & Palmer joining other guests to mull it over
The UK government is running a secretive unit inside Michael Gove’s Cabinet Office that’s accused of ‘blacklisting’ journalists and hiding ‘sensitive’ information from the public. Experts say they’re breaking the law – and it’s an assault on our right to know what our government is doing.
We’re not going to let it stand. We’re launching a legal battle – but we also need a huge public outcry, showing that thousands back our call for transparency. Will you add your name?
