Wayback Machine Trumps FOI Tribunal

New submitter calder123 writes "Last week, the BBC won an FOIA tribunal ruling that they didn't have to reveal the names of attendees at a seminar in 2006, designed to shape the BBC's coverage of climate change issues. The document, uncovered by Maurizio Morabito, puts comments by the BBC that the meeting was held under Chatham House rules, and that the seminar drew on top scientific advice in an interesting light. In a bizarre coincidence, four of the BBC's attendees at the seminar have resigned in the last few days."

    You denialist children have lots of time on your hands and sugar daddies(*) with lots of money.
    It is not one FOI request,
    or even 'a few' FOI requests.
    It is tens upon tens of thousands of FOI requests, designed to disrupt decent people who oppose them and prolong the amount of pollution they can get away with.

    (*) Also known as Kochs, which I believe to be a mis-spelling of a slang term for penis.
