Sensible and confused
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing as a journalist, but the Foreign Office thinks I am a 'sensible and thoughtful' freedom of information requestor.
That's what they told the Department for Constitutional Affairs (as it was then called) in an email in July last year.
I'm aware of this because I made an application under the Data Protection Act for the personal data held on me by the Foreign Office.
The material they sent me also included a draft response to one of my FOI requests. This draft told me 'you seem to be slightly confused', but this judgmental phrase was omitted from the eventual purely factual response - which I feel is a shame, given that fairness demands I admit that I had in fact got confused on the point at issue.
So my message to the Foreign Office is: When I'm confused about something in future, you can tell me. There is no need to pull your punches. After all, you know I'll be sensible about it.
