Blog Information
The blog of the campaigning journalist Heather Brooke, the woman behind the campaign to have MPs expenses published is a must-read for those interested freedom of information.
The site is well laid out and easily accessible which makes the information contained therein all the easier to read.
The content of the posts is focused, as suggested in the title, on the public's right to know and includes campaigns in a number of areas where the author believes the public should have more access.
Unfortunately the posts seem to follow events rather than being a regular publication so they arrive only when there is some pertinent information, which is a shame as they are usually very detailed and contain a lot of interesting revelations.
