The following is a freedom of information act request to Lancashire Police made by John Blacker, RINF science correspondent, to provide details of Lancashire Constabularys’ connections to “Common Purpose“. It should also be noted that police officers at the roadblock in question refused to give their names, rank and numbers – which fails to comply with British law.

As such I now politely request under the freedom of information act the following Details in full please.
