I own the BBC
So you may remember that there was some discussion a few months back about local city blogs and the nationality of certain contributors. Is it cool for a London blog to employ non-British bloggers?
In my (and many others') defence, I offered up some statistics and came to the conclusion that with 5% of the population of London born in non-British EU countries and 22% born outside of the EU, well, it's not unrepresentative having a few foreigners do some blogging for London. I mean, we're talking over a quarter of London being non-British, here.
That whole debate has been dead and buried for months now, but looking through my news reader this morning, I was tickled to read the headline "25% of Londoners are born abroad".
Yes. That's what I said. Last November.
