The FOI Offensive on the British State
I submitted 60 FOI requests to 14 UK government departments across 11 thematic areas covering climate policy, surveillance, immigration, censorship, ideological training, and more.
On 25th May, I submitted over 60 Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to 14 UK government departments. These requests span 11 critical areas, including climate policy, surveillance, immigration, and ideological training. This micro-campaign aims to shed light on the opaque workings of our government and its alignment with globalist agendas.
The goal was simple: keep it concise and give each department no room to formulate a response that could stonewall.
I’ve submitted hundreds of requests in total, attempting to bring so-called “public information” into the light, and it seems I’m getting ever closer to cracking the formula for doing so effectively.
So, what have I asked?
In this article, I’ve outlined each category of request and provided a summary of the information I hope to extract through these lines of inquiry.
Each FOI request was carefully crafted to target a specific area of concern. By systematically addressing these themes, I aim to uncover patterns of governance that may not align with the public interest.

- Land value tax proposals tied to climate or emissions policy.
Technocratic Urban Policy & Behavioural Engineering
- Urban planning documents linking climate targets to restricted zones or travel.
- Use of geofencing for traffic management or environmental enforcement.

Policing of Dissent & Reframing of Protest

Every request is now live and submitted. All responses will be published in full. This is all independent, evidence-led, and driven by public interest. Please follow for updates.
Impressive Mr Brackpool. You will be kept very busy for a long time - although, I expect, this will probably be somewhat drawn out on Their behalf.
Appreciate your efforts - watching from Australia.
Have you ever thought about running a reasonably priced course or seminar to teach folks how best to construct FOIs?
It would be nice to see you recoup some of the $$$s this all must’ve cost you.
Regards 🇦🇺
Ambitious project. I hope you have a team of talented people to help you sort through the information you receive, and that hopefully some of it is not redacted.
