I know a lot of people who have worked or do work at the Beeb. Not one of them got there through family connections.
Apparently it was pro rata... so that makes all the difference.

Looking forward to that chap who always pitches up....coming along and berating me for missing the bigger picture.
Should point out that this is satire just in case Chloe Westley sees it and gets confused again...

This is that University of Kent "white privilege" course that the Times and Telegraph have picked up on.... except... from the look of it.... it's not a white privilege course.
