Britain has a secrecy problem.
In 2024, the govt answered just 29% of Freedom of Information requests - the lowest rate since FOI began.
Secrecy fuels corruption, bad governance, scandals covered-up to protect elites. Ministers don't answer questions in parliament.
Sham democracy.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
