    A rare outbreak of common sense.

    It does worry me that “Zionism” could be considered a protected belief though. Surprised they didn’t go that route. I guess they didn’t want to risk a court ruling on if Zionism “conflicts with the fundamental rights of others”.

    It confirmed that correspondence exists but refused to release any information, saying it would prejudice the department’s ability to offer “free and frank” advice in the future.

    They should appeal to the ICO, it’s surprisingly easy. If an idiot like me can win there anyone can.
