A Willmore
Delivered

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

On 22nd June I submitted an FOI request ((RFI20200824) basically asking how a member of the viewing and listening public can determine the difference between "personal" and "BBC" Twitter accounts used by BBC staff. BBC FOI invoked the "journalism, art and literature" derogation as a means to refuse an answer to my request, BBC Complaints seem unwilling or unable to respond to my complaint, and BBC Questions seem unable to answer my question and have tied themselves in a data protection knot while trying to do so.

The obvious reluctance of the BBC to assist me in my quest for this information just makes me want to continue, so please provide the full name, position and postal address of the relevant member of BBC management who can assist me. I affirm postal address: I want to send a letter.

Yours faithfully,

Mr A Willmore
