Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

I’m digging over old ground but I have to challenge Steve Coogan's line. He claims it’s all true (as has Philippa Langley): Langley will be celebrated for her achievement, Richard Taylor & his personal gripes will be forgotten

My many colleagues and friends who were either born elsewhere, or their parents were, the same.
It's so offensive to be told you're here on sufferance.
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Scale is a religion and if you go against it, you're a heretic and you should burn, "despite [the reviewers] final ratings".
