Its the same with politicians and power. And they are quite immune to transparency. You should see the hilarious way they have tried to wriggle out of freedom of information (which, fair play to him, was something good Blair did). I SWEAR there must have been a cabinet meeting after the Act came in where someone said "What, you mean it applies to the government as well? There must be some mistake"
They should take a leaf out of Irelands book of tricks , once the freedom of information act became applicable to government meetings they began starting meetings with a resolution that the meeting was not a meeting .
