Wow!

Two weeks ago I FOIA'd(*) Herefordshire Council asking who had authorised the payment of a Hush Money £123,000 to a certain 'Michael Hainge', dismissed by the Council a year ago.

Answer today (have a pinch of sodium chloride to hand everyone!) is that the decision was taken by two 'interim' - that is, temporary - staff members who are conveniently no longer employed by Herefordshire Council, namely Charlie Adan and Annie Faulder.

Look at this Council reply. How did our fairly straightforward little country become so routinely corrupt?
