Carol Vorderman Criticizes TV Industry for Failing Working-Class Audiences

In her Edinburgh TV Festival speech, Vorderman highlights the industry's role in societal division and recent UK riots.

Vorderman claims TV industry neglect has driven working-class audiences to social media.
She argues the lack of representation has contributed to societal unrest and regional inequalities.
Vorderman criticizes the normalization of controversial figures in mainstream programming.
She calls for decentralization of TV production to better reflect the UK's diverse population.
Only 8% of TV industry workers come from working-class backgrounds, despite half the UK population identifying as such.
