And of course - every one who has had an individual complaint rejected by the ICO, take it through the official review procedure.
I've already been in touch with my MEP's, and Don Foster via my own LD MP. Unfortunately one of my MEP's is Giles Chichester MEP Conservative, so don't think I will get much out of him as he is too busy calculating his expenses. Another is Roger Knapman (UKIP) who would never want to use the EC to lean on a UK official, so that's him out the frame. I haven't found the MEP's very responsive to their constituents, compared to my own local Westminster MP.
Presumably we can encourage the press to approach the Metropolitan Police again on 17th July to see if they have had any complaints by that date. Incidentally - shouldn't that file be in more than one person's hands? Including a fairly anonymous member of the public who can stroll in quietly with a witness, to Charing Cross nick on Thursday morning 17th July, just in case the official file-carrier gets detained for 42 days on suspicion of whatever it is they may decide to suspect and the file got lost?
