THE BBC is wasting millions a year on woke and bizarre schemes you could find in its sitcom W1A. It comes as bosses are threatening cuts over the TV licence fee’s two-year freeze.

W1A, which ran from 2014 to 2017, poked fun at Beeb execs over weird ideas. But a Sun on Sunday probe found real examples such as £12million of the existing Radio and Music budget being spent over three years on “diverse and inclusive content”.

The Beeb’s part-time diversity champion, meanwhile, gets £267,000 a year for working only a three-day week. The Children in Need department in Manchester and BBC Studios both recently advertised for a Diversity and Inclusion lead.
