George Entwistle: The Cameron Connection
http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...reply&t=215208
Quote:
David Cameron may try to distance himself from the scandal engulfing the BBC, but it has brought him embarrassment close to home.
For it was his best friend, the Eton- and Oxford-educated headhunter Dominic Loehnis, who recruited George Entwistle to be director general of the BBC. Cameron was best man at Loehnis's wedding and Loehnis attended Cameron's 44th birthday party at Chequers in 2010. Loehnis ran the recruitment process at headhunters Egon Zehnder, and provided the BBC Trust with a list of candidates, including "advice about the suitability of each candidate". As Entwistle has shown himself to be unsuitable for the job, shouldn't Egon Zehnder give its fees back? After all, they charge enough. It wasn't much of a hunt, either, as Entwistle was BBC head of vision when found. Since 2010, Egon Zehnder has billed the BBC almost £400,000 plus VAT to fill three senior vacancies – digital media director, head of vision and director general. And two of these posts they filled with … George Entwistle!
