Culture Sec ‘Mad Nad’ Dorries says BBC is riddled with nepotism. So is she…

His choice of Culture Secretary has been set the task of talking down the BBC, turning our minds against it.
Here’s her attack line:
Nadine Dorries has labelled the BBC an institution riven by bias and staffed by people “whose mum and dad worked there”.
“We’re having a discussion about how the BBC can become more representative of the people who pay the licence fee, and how it can be more accessible to people from all backgrounds, not just people whose mum and dad worked there.”
What a hypocrite:
Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries, gave a close friend £51,000 from parliamentary expenses for "marketing".
She also paid her daughters £80,000 from the public purse to work in her office, and gave one of them a £15,000 pay rise.

If the BBC really is chock-full of dynasties – the Dimblebys leap to mind straight away – then it certainly should change.
But by having Dorries say it, Johnson has merely drawn attention to the fact that the Conservative government is definitely riddled with nepotism.
Before attacking the BBC, the government should clean up its own act. Right?

Look at the ban on “Have your say” on Political posts this week on the BBC website, for fear that some of the usual “Gammons” may actually speak the truth – Free Press my a*se !
Just as long as she gets rid of the licence I don’t care how much she spends or who she employs. Once the licence is no more then she has done her job.

The ‘Culture’ Secretary Dorries – who absented herself from parliamentary work to appear on some dire t.v. reality show where she ate (and I am assured this is true) an ostrich anus. You couldn’t bloody write it could you.
