[open-government] Libel reform in the UK: telling the truth won't be illegal any longer?

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

And what about the data that come with that truth!  Interesting.
Looks like Canada could use this, particularly since chief
statisticians have to quit their jobs in oder to tell the truth, as
doing so while in office is considered illegal due to the oath that
public servants take to secrecy while in office.  Also, the current
Harper government seems to loath the truth and is destroying data or
making it worthless to ensure that truth telling and accountability
are harder to achieve!  Science messaging in Canada is now part of
communications!
