Michael Buerk: Buerk By Name...

"If you've been hired because you are young and pretty, because you are mincingly camp, because you've ticked a particular ethnic box and then you are no younger young and pretty or the fashions have moved on and you suddenly don't have a job - get over it. It's showbusiness.
"The problem is that at the other extreme of the argument [of "political correctness"], the idea of putting people on television - which is a non-job which is terribly well paid, where you don't have to think too much, or work too hard - and giving people these jobs purely on the grounds that we need another six Asians, or we need another six lesbians, or we need another six pensioners, is to my mind almost worse."

Michael Buerk - pictured above with the "mincingly camp" Louie Spence - interviewed on ITV Tonight tonight, quoted in - but of course - The Daily Mail - 'Presenters should not be recruited to fill lesbian or pensioner quotas': BBC's Michael Buerk hits out at television's political correctness'
Buerk's a hero at the Mail for attacking their hated BBC.

Erm, by the way... can anyone name six lesbian presenters on the BBC?
