this time there's a freedom of information request. But that really shouldn't have been necessary.

Nor is it wise. Or proportionate. If you manage to p*** the BBC suits off so much that they wonder "is it worth it?" and drop the whole thing, you will have single handedly cost one of the few things which gets the folk world some badly needed attention in the mainstream once a year. How stupid, idiotic and self important would that have been? You right-wing newspaper journalists . . . you're all the same.
