Thing is though - we don't want this shit to leak, because they will spin single words into their little narratives.Happened to me a few times - I mean, my while interaction with Fauci is a textbook example of exactly how this works, yet.... Which also reminds me, since I have yet again gotten hacking attacks - I assume everybody have their emails locked down with strong passwords and 2FA? There are emails that we certainly don't want out there because they'll be spun (several identified in Eddie's FOIA come to mind...)

I assume it will go to the UK Data Commissioner for final arbitration.
