eventually pops out

Politics This FOI request about the Damien Green affair speaks for itself, the way the request knocks on for ages, goes through several internal enquiries and then eventually pops out with a couple of emails between someone redacted at ITN and Gutto Hari "former BBC Chief Political Correspondent (who) in May 2008 was appointed as supposed Communications Director for the Mayor of London Boris Johnson's administration at London City Hall" (wikipedia) then someone at the police. I don't know that any of it is really news, but it is worth looking at to see how people communicate within local government and with both the national media and the force. Those emails are in a pdf here, a mix of straight cander and not.
