To put it into perspective the Main Hosts team will look like this:
Richard Madeley - White
Susanna Reid - White
Ben Shephard - White
Kate Garraway - White.
Not a single BAME person will be on the main presenting team.
So should they parachute someone - who clearly isn't right for the role - in, just to tick some diversity boxes? Or would it be wiser to simply hire the best presenter at the time?
And if the person who ticks all the diversity boxes isn't best-suited for the role - what then?
