MONOCHROME BAND OF PEOPLE"
James Naughtie, discussing internships and work experience on this morning's Today programme:
"You've raised the point about companies getting people to work for them for nothing. That's one side of it. The other side is you get an army of people who are given an opening, an entrée, into the, y'know, professions or quite well paid jobs by being able to work for nothing because their families can afford it and perhaps if the family has got a connection whether it's a business connection or a friendship, what you end up with is an absolutely almost monochrome band of people who are gonna end up in the best jobs because they've got the experience and they all come from sort of middle class professional backgrounds."And where did James Naughtie's son do his work experience? Newsnight. (Naughtie JR's twitter account - Sarah Palin appears to be a favourite topic. Monochrome band of people indeed.)
