Dear Shropshire Council,
You will see from my email below, I contacted you on 20th March 2012 with a Freedom of Information request in respect to these three questions…
How much public money was spent by Shropshire Council in respect of the illegal raid the Council instigated and assisted in on the home of Anne & Hollie Greig on 3rd June 2010? This question relates only to the day of the raid itself.
How much public money, since the raid to-date, has been spent via public servant man-hours and other administrative duties & operations, as a result of the raid? This question requires an ‘up-to-date’ figure, which we know and accept is ongoing.
How much public money has been spent so far in relation to the Council’s legal action through the Courts to take Hollie into care and away from her mother, Anne? This question relates to the Council’s entire time addressing this specific point, including man-hours and other financially accountable operations.
You were good enough to reply the following day, stating that you were processing my request and would be in touch within 20 days. Unfortunately, I have received no further communications from your Council, so I now ask that this matter be escalated and addressed as a formal request for an internal review.
I shall allow a further 10 consecutive days (starting 24th April 2012) for you to reply with an explanation for the delay and providing me with answers to my 3 FoI questions above, before I consider taking the matter to the Information Commissioner.
Yours sincerely,
Ian McFerran

Subject: FoI regarding finances
Dear Shropshire Council,
I am making this Freedom of Information request to you on very specific points, related to public finances and man-hours only. I understand Robert Green has made a similar request in the past to your Council but failed to get an appropriate reply. Likewise, I also caught the Council lying to me in a previous, directly related, FoI request. I trust that these issues are now behind us and that this will not happen again.
My request is laid out below in the form of three questions…
How much public money was spent by Shropshire Council in respect of the illegal raid the Council instigated and assisted in on the home of Anne & Hollie Greig on 3rd June 2010? This question relates only to the day of the raid itself.
How much public money, since the raid to-date, has been spent via public servant man-hours and other administrative duties & operations, as a result of the raid? This question requires an ‘up-to-date’ figure, which we know and accept is ongoing.
How much public money has been spent so far in relation to the Council’s legal action through the Courts to take Hollie into care and away from her mother, Anne? This question relates to the Council’s entire time addressing this specific point, including man-hours and other financially accountable operations.
As always, I am prepared to follow this request through to the bitter end if I do not receive an appropriate answer. However, again, as always, I do hope that the benefit of the doubt will be enough for the Council to answer these questions accurately and within the 20 consecutive days allowed for such a response.
As always, in matters related to the ongoing persecution of Anne & Hollie Greig, this FoI request has been made public knowledge, as will all responses to it also be.
Yours sincerely,

I read this with interest as my requests made under The Freedom of Information Act to the local council have met with obstruction and failure to provide information I asked for. These requests covered council involvement with The Common Purpose and The Freemasons.
Despite that fact there is information available online (and elsewhere) about council employees being graduates of The Common Purpose, the council states that there is no involvement with this body.
They also claim there is no involvement with The Freemasons, something else which is known to be untrue.
When it has been put to the council that they have provided false statements, they have failed to respond.
It is clear the public bodies can engage in Misconduct in Public Office, a criminal offence, without fear of any action being taken against them.
The subject of abuse of authority by Councils, Social Workers and Psychiarists is now coming out in the mainstream press as shown by the following link to the Daily Mail website.

I hope that his victims sue both the quack Doctor and the Council for every bean that they have.
Up until now these “people” have got away with it because their direct assault and abuse of families has taken place behind the closed doors of secret Courts – but as soon as any of these cases get out in the open we see the Rats run away as fast as they can.
So well done Katherine Faulkner at the Daily Mail, and also Christopher Booker at the Telegraph for exposing the evils of secret Courts that rip families apart based on the unchallenged “evidence” of quacks and charlatans.
Keep fighting Hollie – the tide is starting to turn!
