The BBC will now require that new applicants disclose their 'family income and upbringing' before they will be considered for a job with the BBC. How long before this is required, for Government jobs, in this country? I bet Obama/Hillary!/Bernie are chomping at the bit to institute this policy! I remember when I applied to go to a state university after high school. They wanted to know family income before I would be considered for financial aid. My dad said 'no, it is no one else's business....we will pay for your education ourselves'. Used to be important in this once great country.

Just FYI: in Britain, the term ‘public school’, actually means a private school. If a male is referred to as a ‘public school boy’, he is being singled out as privileged.

Wow.
The BBC has gone from a full stall to a spin.
Oh well, at least the diction is OK.
For now, that is.

The UK no longer exists as the once proud nation of its history. The ruling elites have PC’d the entire UK into islam-west.

So basically, you can get a job or be rejected for one if you did or did not partake in the social services when you were a child ?
Yup. That’s socialism.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He wanted them DESTROYED.
And he told his followers to take over the media.
This is working exactly as it’s supposed too.
And you middle class Marxists just love it. :)

I wonder if there is some Britain-American bedwetting
liberal commission which meets to decide and coordinate
the next international social and economic crisis.
How is it that the liberals in both countries get their
panties in a twist at the same time over the same dumbassed
issues?

I freely dispense my spent beer upon their, and all diversity.
Positions must be filled by people qualified for that particular job.
This isn't a military boot camp barracks, where it's pick one and order him to some job.
You don't drop a dishwasher in an Air Traffic Controller's operating chair and tell him to get to work...

I liked the Brits better when they were civilizing savages around the world. Does the sun shine on the Empire? Anywhere?

Not true, although I get your point.

I’m sure this will improve PBS programming, and they will start attracting a different, larger audience. It might even add a little “Jerry Springer” to their telethons, which would be an improvement.

Or more simply, middle class guilt about not enough working class young folk.
