That's where the BBC always was. People hired by the BBC were systematically vetted by MI5 and rejected for left-wing sympathies from its entire history until very recent times. IMO the only difference between then and now is that there are vanishingly few left-wing toffs and strivers in the UK anymore, so when hiring from the pre-filtered pool (of typical BBC candidates) they can get by relying on an informal veto system.
