- **Event Name**: How They Hide the Truth from You with Meirion Jones
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Twenty-one years ago the Freedom of Information Act came into effect. It was going to be a new dawn of open government. Hoorah! Meirion’s first request was information on whether the UK had helped Israel get nuclear weapons and back came three feet of Top Secret documents revealing the truth.

For a brief window Whitehall’s deepest secrets were on view and then the shutters came crashing back down. Find out how successive administrations have run a Clearing House – AKA Blocking House – concealing national and local government corruption and wrongdoing ever since.

Meirion is best known for investigations into Bogus Bomb Detectors, Jimmy Savile, Vulture Funds and the Fake Sheikh. His stories have led to changes in the law and bad people going to jail.

Jeremy Paxman accused Meirion of exhibiting that “obsessional, slightly nutty commitment that marks out all successful investigative reporters”.
