There are elements of a police state in the UK, and not all related to the IRA. Why that is so would be very hard to explain in a NPOV article. I have no problem with publishing most of that sort of stuff.

There are politicized exceptions to this, but for the huge majority of classified items keeping the information secret will save lives, as will hindering its dissemination if it is somehow leaked.
This simply is not true of information that is routinely restricted in the UK. There is lots of quite harmless information that I can get legimitately from US archives via FOIA, but may not legally publish in the UK.
