BBC seat: We have to hire the north of the working class

The BBC’s newly appointed chair has called for a broadcaster to hire more “Northern Working Class” because he said there was a lack of intellectual diversity.

Samir Shah, 73, began his four -year period as a BBC chair on March 4 and previously performed the company’s current and political programs between 1987 and 1998.

In his first interview since the assumption of the role, he said that while the BBC had diversified a wide range of ethnicity of its employees, he failed to hire the diversity of different thinkers.

He said Time The BBC should focus on hiring from the “northern working class where we are poor”.

He cited the immigration report as a Metropolitan Metropolitan, the BBC Liberal, which in turn means covering the news of important stories that are unbalanced.

“When you have people coming to England with small boats, there is a great deal of sympathy,” he said.

“But the BBC has not taken as much concern as the concerns of the communities that all of them receive,” he said.

“Worry your child cannot enter school or go to a doctor. Are there pressure on housing? We have people in different parts of the country who really protest having a complete one of the immigrants. It is our duty to hear their views. It is not our duty to say,” Oh. “

Mr Shah, born in India but moved to the shepherd’s bush as a young boy, said the broadcaster should also examine the details of the life of a son of an Hamas official to examine what has made the BBC documentary.

BBC2 showed a documentary last month Gaza: How to survive a war zone This should be, after the BBC editors have failed to inform viewers that the 13 -year -old English -speaking narrator Abdullah is the son of an official in the Hamas government.

The Board of Directors has called for the general manager of the company to investigate how to make Gaza’s film.

But the Minister of Culture Lisa Nodi recently accused the BBC of not showing enough urgency in his investigation, and he demanded a response from the broadcast until early next week.
