If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Donate to the RNLI and help save lives at sea
Your donations really make a difference. We depend on your generosity to educate people to stay safe and prevent tragedies on and offshore. Donate here.

Slightly surreal to see Shining a Light listed as a #1 bestseller in Amazon.ie’s Civil Rights & Citizenship category. I know it’s a very specialised corner of Amazon, but still a nice place for the book to appear! Available from my website or from Amazon: www.kenfoxe.com #ireland #journalism #foi

If there’s one overarching lesson from my book Shining a Light, it’s that Freedom of Information isn’t really about ‘information’ at all. It’s about records. So, if you do have a question, you have to first figure out what records will answer it. Book in print/digital: www.kenfoxe.com
