1/ Funny you should mention this today.

Brittany Kaiser (CA LLC) says she was given a database by UKIP.
UKIP are not cooperating with the ICO.
Where did UKIP get the database from?
Was it the WESS/METIS database?
How was that data acquired?
Some thoughts.
2/. WESS DIGITAL LTD was incorporated in 2012.
Andrew Whitehead was the Director & described in the Zelo Street blogs as a software architect and developer.

He & Matthew Elliot was a shareholder with 2 other companies.
2013 :-All shares were all transferred to Andrew Whitehead
3/. Andrew Whitehurst is a co Director of some of Thomas Borwick’s companies.
Thomas Borwick and Matthew Elliot of Vote Leave
Thomas Borwick of Kanto that worked with SCL Elections See @chrisinsilico and @CommonsCMS Select Committee document release.
4/. The WESS/ METIS database
Zelo blog
“Other sources being fed into Metis include aggregated census records, social media profile data and online political advertising response data”? Withthe intention to gather ten million peoples’ personal information by the end of next year?”
5/. How was that data acquired and when in 2013/14?

Another doc in the @chrisinsilico @CommonsCMS bundle from the Global Science Research (Kogan) contract with SCL Elections Ltd indicated that Facebook changed its rules to make data acquisition more difficult sometime in 2014.
6/. Jag Singh who features in the PR week’s article in 2013 is one of the “S” in WESS.

His potted history suggests he worked on the digital side of Labour and also on the US Pres Elections, but different campaigns to SCL/CA/ Kanto/ GSR-Kogan
7/ the Zelo blog suggests that another S in WESS, Staines of Guido Faulkes planned to use the database for the purpose of identifying and blacklisting people with Marxist Union history.

Where would those data come from?
8/. As for the Company. Where did the money/ investment come from for WESS to build and maintain that database.

All we know is that within a year all shares were Whitehurst and the company was struck off in July 2016, soon after the EU Ref.

No accounts were filed.
9/. What happened to the METIS database?
10/. I do not know from when the data came, nor where is is held.

I do not know what data fields was in METIS.

I do not know what use to which it was put.

I think we are entitled to know @ICOnews
