It all depends if they've got friends in the right places.James Purnell, failed Labour MP, was given a £300,000 a year job at the BBC. The job hadn't been advertised. His Labour cronies at the BBC just decided to give him some of our money, paid out of the TV tax, because they thought he'd be good at getting even more money out of his cronies in the next Labour government. Wrong on all counts.
