What "The Apprentice" tells us
Toby Young insists that Sir Alan and his brood are part of the great Reithian tradition. I see his point:
Which programme does the best job of educating the public about the vital issues that affect the future welfare of our democracy? ... Scratch the surface and it turns out to be a seditious attack on the managerial culture that is the scourge of modern Britain... It is easy to dismiss the programme as a ratings-grabber because it is so entertaining. After all, the spectacle of a "Global Pricing Consultant" coming completely unstuck when he or she is asked to perform some elementary mental arithmetic, like dividing twenty-one by three, is very funny... Then it dawns on you that these are precisely the sort of useless parasites who have been sucking the lifeblood out of our economy for years.
