June is good friends with the tax dodger and once bankrupt Miquita Oliver from their t4 days.
Since becoming diversity czar the only talent she has discovered is Miquita’s mum who now hosts every cooking show under the sun.
Diversity or nepotism, you decide.

Gays and ethnic minorities ‘over?represented’ on TV
Times said:
Ethnic minorities and gay people are significantly over represented on British television, according to a study.
Black and ethnic minority (BAME) people account for about 13 per cent of the national workforce but secure 23 per cent of on-screen roles, the statistics show.
Over-representation is particularly stark on drama programmes, where ethnic minority actors win more than a quarter (26.4 per cent) of parts, as well as children’s TV (30.3 per cent) and comedies (24.9 per cent).
Lesbian, gay and bisexual people are nearly twice as likely to appear on television — where they take 11.9 per cent of roles — than would be expected by their estimated 6.4 per cent share of the national population.
Still lots of important work to be done. Keep it up June.Black and ethnic minority (BAME) people account for about 13 per cent of the national workforce but secure 23 per cent of on-screen roles, the statistics show.

Quite a move from running some average restaurant in Stoke Newington to judging Michelin starred chefs on the Great British Menu.

Wouldn’t they be better off employing 10 more black people in proper jobs at £30k, than 1 in a non-job? Would probably be of more help.
See, that's part of the problem. Mention diversity and just focus on black. What about all the others?Anyhow, after this revelation, when our licence fee is due in a few months, I will not be renewing it.

We watch (I'd say more ' have on') the BBC mostly and my missus seems to regularly notice that there's no white people on shows - I think she might be turning into Alf Garnett.
It's even worse [ or better ] on adverts on Freesat channels, Tesco, Aviva, Sainsbury's Halifax all featuring the new TV Nuclear Family, a mixed race couple and, occasionally, 2 white grandparents and a inexplicable mixed race kid
